What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
The Frankenmuth Motel is AAA approved and locally owned and operated. The Motel is one street off of Main street, just 2 blocks North of Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland. We are situated between Michigan's Own Military and Space Museum and Zeilinger Wool Company. The Motel has 53 ground floor rooms and (following State Law) we are all non-smoking. The Motel does have a outdoor smoking area. We also have a limited number of pet rooms with a small cleaning fee. Coffee is available in our office/front desk area during office hours and a cold continental breakfast is available every morning. We may not be located on Main Street but we are only about 5 blocks from most Festivals and the RiverPlace Shops. We are only 8 blocks from Bavarian Inn and Zehnder's Restaurants downtown and all of Main Street has Free Parking. Within walking Distance of Zehnder's Splash Village.
Front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We come up from Ohio at least twice a year and stay here and we are always pleased with our accommodations each and every time. The motel is close to the restaurants and shopping. You will not be disappointed.

Place was clean and tidy and a great price. Location was quiet even though the motel was full. Nothing fancy but great for what we wanted to pay. Staff friendly and easy booking. Plenty of outlets to plug in electronics and chargers.

Clean, friendly, and priced right. Great location for a great Frankenmuth experience. Could not ask for a better place to stay. It will be where I stay from now on when visiting the Great State of Michigan.

OK, the 5.0 rating given by so many people may be just a touch high. But we had to go because how many chances do you have to stay in a motel? Met owners and they are working hard to make this a must stop and are well on their way. The rooms were clean and had a lot of work done to update. Breakfast was strictly continental in a very small lobby. Would I stay there again? You bet!

Great reasonably priced motel walking distance to downtown Frankenmuth and only 2 minute walk to Bronners Christmas Wonderland. Rooms look recently updated. Friendly staff. Continental breakfast included with very tasty fritters and muffins. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

This was our second time staying here,and it was very clean and nice as always. They are very nice modernized rooms and decently priced. Wifi included and private parking space right at your door. We also liked how there is a free continental breakfast as well. The staff is very kind and helpful too. This is definitely our go to spot. Plus you are just a 2 minute car ride from downtown Frankenmuth. And walking distance to Bronners Christmas wonderland. And right next door to the Hero’s museum. It’s a great location and it’s quiet too. Since it isn’t smack in the middle of downtown like the other lodging is. Will be back again next year for our 3rd Annual trip.

Totally unexpected level of service for a reasonable price. It was a breath of fresh air after days of overpriced mediocre hotels which had seen better days. This restores our faith that service is still alive and well in motels and hotels. Thanks!
