Newfoundland national specialty
Reviewed By luvmynewfs2022room was neat and clean but for the price I thought it was outrageous! No coffee pot in room, Not handicap accessible ,not a king suite,which I thought it was. We did have a beautiful view of river , but no balcony to enjoy it! Very pricey for what you get! we spent over $200. a night.

A very nice stay at an excellent motel
Reviewed By E2642SFdeborahcOur 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.

Fantastic stay!!!!!!
Reviewed By mikewN6232ENVery friendly. Very accommodating. We loved our visit. Cocktail party included free food and free drinks! Good, better than most, breakfast with sausage, eggs, potatoes, etc. what we loved best was the staff!! Super helpful and since one of our party had suffered a foot injury a couple of days earlier, they guided us to a physician and drug store where the help was great! We loved it!!!

Great value!
Reviewed By JukeboxMamaThis 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!

No description for the hotel available
Disappointed
Reviewed By 313dongOur stay at the Holiday Inn started on a bad note. I called about a couple of days earlier than our stay so that I would know what room we would have without worrying about the time we would arrive. I talked to Alena on a recording and she promised us room 120 so that I would not have to walk far from the desk since I have a bad leg due to arthritis. After arriving, Alena the same lady that I had talked to, started to place me in room 122 and I said, why? You told me that I would have room 120 and she questioned me as if she couldn’t remember assigning me to room 120. She said room 122 was just a few more steps. A few more steps was a lot for me and I played back the recording of her saying she would give me room 120. Alena apologized for the mistake but she could not ask the guest that she had placed in room 120 to move out. To her, it did not matter that I would have to be inconvenienced but she definitely was not going to ask the guest in room 120 to move out so I had to accept her apology and move on. The problem did not end there. When we got the room for our party of three, we did not have enough towels. The room was set for two people not three so we had to go back to the front desk and ask for another set of towels. The free internet was nice but every time we left the hotel, we had to sign back in. We were also told that parking was limited to only one space per room and to place a card they made out to place on our dash. It is a good thing that our daughter did not drive her car there, too otherwise where would she have parked? As I was trying to find a place to park, I felt my rearend of the car almost fall apart. There was a large hole in the parking lot that I did not see that I ran over. Why wasn’t there an orange cone placed in this hole for people to be aware of it? When I told Alena about the problem she just apologized again but the next day there still was no cone placed there. Breakfast was not exactly like what I saw in commercials on tv for Holiday Inn Express. It was a good breakfast but the only choice for a fruit was a banana or orange. There was no sliced or fresh fruits such as strawberries and when I asked, they said that not all Holiday Inn Express has fruits like on the commercial. The fireplace in the breakfast area was not working and when I asked, they said that she could turn it on but there would be just a small light in the wood area and she was right. It surely did not look like a real fireplace. They would be better to place a tv screen in its place and play a dvd of a fireplace scene than to have what they have. Air conditioning in the room worked great and the bed was comfortable. Location was great for all the activities going on. Pool water was just right but I wished they had a hot tub. I guess I am old fashion, but when a person says to me I will get something, I trust them to keep their word. Alena disappointed me.

Nice resting spot
Reviewed By tracyj515We had an unexpected need for a hotel. Alex was so accommodating, understanding and helpful!! Hotel was nice, quiet and bed was comfortable. Our room was clean, a pink ring surrounded the shower, but it appeared adhered to the caulk. I do suggest hand sanitizer at the breakfast buffet. It was well stocked and hot, but no sanitizer was surprising. I would definitely suggest this hotel as a great resting spot. Thanks again, Alex for your hospitality!!

Reviewed By lesliegJ6660PIMy family and I have been staying here off and on for the past few years and I have nothing but great things to say about this hotel! It’s always clean, the lobby is always decorated for every holiday which is nice and the front staff and the cleaning ladies are also friendly. They have an indoor pool and a hot tub which we really enjoy. It’s pretty quiet also and in a good location away from the noisy highway. Locks have been updated on the doors also. It’s just a great place to stay for a good price!

Great views! A room update is in needed
Reviewed By Lynda GGreat views of the river and well located for restaurants and shops. Disappointing check in experience. Room was dated, furniture nicked up and very business-style. Plastic glasses only - a pet peeve of mine this price point. The pool is very shallow and kitschy with 2 fake palm trees. The hot tub is small and was sporting foam bubbles when we went for a look.
