Top hotels in Old Saginaw City

Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth
Loved it and all the new additions. The only thing I don’t like is the price is pretty steep for only 4 hours to play in the water park. Check in is at 4pm and the pools at the new waterpark close at 8pm. It should be open at least 3pm to 10pm for what we’re paying for a room.

Comfort Inn Birch Run - Frankenmuth
The room was great, but not having a table with chairs made playing games or eating food very difficult. I don’t understand why we have a microwave and refrigerator and no where to eat the food at. Otherwise we had a great stay
