The Bavarian is a good value for being right on the beach. However, the property is dated, the breakfast could improve, and it could be cleaner.

We loved that the hotel was clean and affordable. This hotel is authentic. It isn't a sterile corporate environment and the people that own it and run it are real people that live in the community. Everyone was down to earth and friendly. Every room is beach front and it just really felt like home base. I highly recommend the suites. We had such a wonderful time. It was so nice just to come home to a clean room, friendly service, comfy beds and an amazing view! Definitely we will come back next year! Room 149 os where we were and goodness! That firm matress was a welcome friend after a long day of activities! 10/10, we will visit again!

The area and lakefront is beautiful. The place has so much potential but could use a little updating in some of the rooms and definitely a little upkeep on the grass and beach. Couldn’t walk two steps without stepping in seagull poop. It’s hard to play cornhole and use some other amenities because you’re too worried about everything getting dropped in poop. Besides these it’s a wonderful place right on the lake to stay!!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This property is quite outdated. For the price per night being comparable to a more updated and accommodating hotel, I was quite disappointed with this option. Hot tub and pool both had cloudy water, very limited seating and short serving time for breakfast. Toilet was very low to the ground making very difficult to sit and stand. Refrigerator didn’t work and no microwave in room.

This is a very cool place in a great location. Just avoid rooms in the high 130s/low 140s. Those rooms are directly below the breakfast room so all you hear from 6 - 9 is stomping, talking and squeaking chairs.

The only concern was a very weak floor around the sink area. Water must have rotted the floor boards
