Bavarian Village Resort Branson Hotel - Page 1

Wonderful location-very close to Silver Dollar City and Table Rock Lake. Clean and nice. Not fancy but worth every penny. Will go back again and again.

My family and I are season ticket holders to Silver Dollar City. We have stayed here for the last 7 years! Every time we come down-at least 4 times a year, we are always here. I have 4 kids and have had no problems with anything there. The pool was a lot of fun for them to cool off on a hot day! The view overlooking Table Rock Lake and the valley is breath taking.

The price is unbeatable and everything was sanitary and to our satisfaction. It is not like a hotel where someone cleans up after you and that gives you a reason to be a disgusting slob! You clean up your own messes and that keeps the cost much lower than some of the hotels in the area.

One time we did go, the AC in the unit we were in died. The owner worked on it and could not get it working, so he went out and got a new one immediately. We could not have asked for better service.

I am pretty picky about where I stay since I have 4 kids, so I am always looking out for them and this place is perfect for us and them! Bavarian Resort is a nice family run place to stay! We really do enjoy our time there and just wish we could spend more there!

My family goes to Branson twice/year. This year, over July 4th we stayed at Bavarian Resort. Unfortunately, it was a huge disaster. The floors were so filthy we could not walk barefoot on them; the receptacles in the bathroom did not work; the ice bin had hair and crumbs in it; an old, used filter with coffee was still in the coffee maker; the beds were so hard we could not sleep; there was one old futon in the living area to sit on -no other seating was available and the only lamp had a burned out bulb! We stayed one night and left the next morning and found a better place to enjoy our stay. Don't make the same mistake - AVOID BAVARIAN RESORT!

Keep in mind that the travel industry defines a “resort” as: “A hotel featuring a broad range of amenities, sports facilities, and other leisure attractions, designed to provide a total vacation experience.” We booked a “cedar cabin” at this “resort” in the summer of 2007 with that definition in mind.

First, the driveway and the entire lot are in a terrible state of disrepair. Pot holes, loose gravel, deep ruts and steep narrow parking are the norm virtually everywhere. If you have more than one vehicle or a boat trailer, good luck finding a place to put them. The oven and the cook top on the range in our unit did not work properly and either burned the food or undercooked it. The taste and smell of the water and ice in the unit was simply foul and we could neither drink it nor cook with it. We were forced to buy gallon water jugs and ice at a nearby Wal-Mart. There is z-e-r-o service at this place! There was no trash pickup and no room service whatsoever. We had to hike about a city block down a steep hill with our daily trash, put it in a smelly dumpster, then go to the office to be issued only two new trash bags and hike back up the hill. Same thing with our guest towels; another hike was required to return our towels every day before noon and be issued clean ones to hike back with.

The pool had a rickety old slide and was not well lighted at night. The advertised “game room” was little more than a sweltering hot shed with no air conditioner, dead bugs on the floor everywhere and almost half of the amusements broken or out-of-order. The ping-pong table was especially laughable and looked like it came from a junkyard. The boat dock is not padded well at all. After seeing the waves beating the boats so violently against the dock we decided not to put our boat in a slip (which, incidentally, is $7 additional dollars a day). One boat down there even had holes (and of course, water) in it so we kept ours on our trailer. When we did launch we found the launching ramp jutting out at an incredibly bizarre angle a full 45 degrees perpendicular to the driveway.

We also had to drive to a nearby store to buy our fishing license because the license machine at the resort was broken of course; a condition that seemed to be standard for most everything there. Would I stay here again? Never, not even if it were free.
