Staff was very friendly, check in was easy and room was very clean. Only issue we had was getting the tv to work. Turns out both the batteries for the remote and the remote itself were faulty; however the staff were very helpful and rectified the problem.

At the time we stayed they were undergoing renovations which was not clear when we booked. Our room was updated but very dusty that seemed like post-reno dust. Overall I think it will be a great place if all rooms are being renovated similarly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owners are very kind and courteous. On checking in we were advised to request room cleans if needed as we were staying a few days. It is not done daily which is totally understandable as most guests are overnites. The room was very clean, fresh linens, quite comfortable. It is conveniently located right in Bruce Mines in front of marina. Close to all ammenities etc. The owners are constantly updating the motel and are doing a really great job at the renovations. The rates are very reasonable. This is now our second stay and will definitely return when necessary. Good job Bavarian Inn.....keep up the great work.
