Stay was lovely, staff is excellent and seem always helpful. My only suggestion would be a little more lighting and perhaps more electrical outlets.

This was a great family trip. There is a lot to do with kids. The decor is very unique and historic. The pool areas are nice. It has a more unique feel than other water park hotels. The buildings and grounds are pretty. There are a lot of games and areas to explore. The mini golf course is cute. There was a more wholesome, family friendly atmosphere than other water parks.

A great family stay and play destination. 4 pools, huge game room/ fun center, Indoor water park. Multiple shops and restaurants inside the hotel. With that being said, you don’t ever have to leave! The only thing that we would say the hotel needs to take care of is the shaky elevators. All in all, great stay!!

We had such a great time at Baverian Inn. Best indoor water park we’ve been to. We really appreciated the things that made it affordable. Mini golf was a great deal! The whole place felt fun and relaxing all at the same time. Staff was great and we would lightly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere fun to take their family.

6/10 Good

It left a lot to be desired, unfortunately. Rooms were dated, but clean. Hotel was toasty! Perimenopausal women beware! 😆 The attractions were pretty cool but closed a little earlier than we would've liked. We're used to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara so to be fair it was a lot to live up to. Waterpark was decent, nice staff and lots of fun to be had. Don't go to Oma's restaurant... staff were all a little...off...but most were friendly enough. Food was terrible which was really disappointing (mind you we only got appetizers) No glass for a Guinness, if you know, you know. Overall it was a time. Wouldn't visit again, but an experience nonetheless!
