A very nice stay at an excellent motel

Reviewed By E2642SFdeborahc

Our group got a block at the Frankenmuth Motel for an event on the grounds of the Bavarian Inn and were very happy with our choice. Clean, quiet, large rooms with ample room for walking our dogs (and we religiously cleaned up after our dogs, as we appreciated the management's opening up extra rooms for dogs than they normally allow to accomodate our group). All ground floor rooms with easy parking for loading and unloading, ample outdoor lighting, and nicely appointed rooms with everything working nicely. The staff was very friendly. It was a very enjoyable week's stay and we would all happily return again to the Frankenmuth Motel.

Great value!

Reviewed By JukeboxMama

This motel is all about value. The ceiling fan in the bathroom was loud, the air conditioner rattled and everything looks a little dated BUT it was clean, the staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. If I was paying top dollar I would have been annoyed, but for the price range it was a decent value and a great stay. Breakfast also included!

Holiday Inn Express Birch Run (Frankenmuth Area), an IHG Hotel

Great stay

Reviewed By L5882ZSjenniferm

The first thing I noticed was the clean smell in the lobby. Rooms were clean. Showers had great water pressure and hot water. Toilets are low which may be a problem for those with knee/hip problems. Beds were high and comfortable. Good variety of options for breakfast.

Pros and cons

Reviewed By hypertyper

Pros: Comfortable bed. Good breakfast selection. Everything looked clean. Second floor window opened to let in fresh air. Cons: Pillows were the lumpiest I have ever seen, like they were stuffed with pieces of loose foam. The pool was way TOO cold. The hot tub was way TOO HOT. There was someone smoking on our floor. We could smell it in the hallway but not the room, but we had the window open for fresh air.

Clean, Good Condition, Comfortable Bed

Reviewed By David D

The Good: Exceptional considering the price. Our room was at the far back side so we had no road noise even though the motel is on a very busy street. Everything was in good condition, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Frig, microwave oven, hair dryer, ironing board and iron (really, does anyone do that any more), luggage rack, free Wifi, good TV signal, 2 night stands, 2 side chairs plus a desk chair, large desk area, shower head with nice spray, AC. The not so good: AC was a bit on the noisy side, but my wife and I had no trouble sleeping and at least it was placed so the cold air was not blowing directly on you; WiFi speed was only 3 Mbps but we were able to stream Hulu without any trouble; breakfast was not provided; there was the tiniest hint of a musty smell - my wife noticed it but I did not.

It was okay, it was clean. It was a little small but for the price we cannot complain. We did not spend much time in the room anyway. The bed was wonderful. There isn’t a tub just a shower. So we would stay there again.

Bay Motel

Smelly, dirty, awful

Reviewed By Susan S

We only needed the motel for 1 night, we needed 3 rooms as we were in town for a family function. We were traveling from Pittsburgh. It was the worst experience I have ever had in all my years of traveling. You get what you pay for. If my children were with me, they never would have stepped foot in the room. It smelled like stale cigarettes. My throat hurt and my nose was runny the entire 6 hours were spent in the room. We checked in, stayed a few minutes and left to go to the family function. We got back around 11 PM and checked out by 6 AM the next morning. It was really bad and I would not recommend it. I think the rooms were unhealthy to be in. There was no heat nor air conditioning. It did not feel like a safe area to be in.

Clean and Quaint

Reviewed By Etzella

The motel is a throwback. The room with a king size bed had a pillow top mattress, fridge and microwave.No issues with the shower or sink draining. Room was clean. Did not try to access the internet, so don't know how well it worked. Parking is limited to one space per room. Breakfast was very limited, but there are fast food restaurants nearby. Was not thrilled with a soap/shampoo dispenser. Suggest bringing your own. Very good value!

Bang for the Buck!

Reviewed By kathrynpN5357ZU

What an unexpected surprise. Reviews are on point. Older motel on the outside but super clean on the inside. I was impressed, especially since the last hotel we stayed was twice as much and falling apart. Room has everything you need, shampoo, soaps, hairdryer, fridge and microwave. Owners were very nice and helpful, nice ice and soda machine, simple snacks for breakfast grab and go, Tim Hortons next door. I say definitely bang for the buck! Happy Travels!
