We stayed at the Bavarian Inn for four nights but only paid for three since we were there just before Memorial Day, still off season. We had a large deluxe room, 2 chairs and a recliner, a round table, good reading lights. The room also had a refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker. The bathroom was perfect - grab bars in... More

We were so pleased with the cleanliness of the room, the amenities, and the convenience of the restaurant, the friendly staff, and the great continental breakfast! Thanks Bavarian Inn for making our stay near the monuments so lovely. Definitely recommend it. Good price for great stay.

We stayed at the Bavarian for 3 nights. Our room was clean and comfortable. The European-style breakfast is great and just right for a busy day in the Hills. There's also a nice restaurant/lounge for evening meal and drinks. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Bavarian Inn over the 2013 Memorial Day Holiday, and were pleasantly surprised. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, the beds were very comfortable, and the room was very clean. Would definitely recommend and stay at again. The location is also very centrally located making it easy to visit Custer, Wind/Jewel Caves and the rest of... More

I was enchanted by Bavarian Inn's European breakfast! After a week on the road, I'm so sick of the waffles, pastries, microwaved sausages, and instant scrambled eggs I get everywhere else. Seriously, are you guys going somewhere I don't know about? Places with cooked to order, full-service breakfasts? I don't think so! This may seem unconventional to Americans used to... More

The staff is great and the continental breakfast is good (reminded me of authentic breakfast in Germany). But everything else is yuck. Our room was old and creaky. I am usually not snooty about hotel rooms, but this was yucky. If I were to stay here again, I would not pay more than thirty bucks a night for this room.... More

Amber H says she stayed her in Dec 2011, we are CLOSED Nov 15. every year! If Amber H indeed stayed with us and had a "Yucky" room, we would have upgraded her to a deluxe room or given her a full refund, no questions asked. We realize that we can't make everyone happy but if we know there is... More

I remember the Bavarian Inn as being moderately expensive considering the facilities. It was night already and getting colder and I was on a motorcycle so I grabbed the first place I saw. The "free breakfast" they offer at the restaurant next-door consists of hard boiled eggs and some pastry and juice.

We stayed in the Jacuzzi King Suite on the second floor. Very clean, bed was comfortable, and it had everything we needed, including a microwave and fridge. We are used to staying in chain hotels when we travel and so expected the little soap, shampoo, and such that are offered. Thankfully we had some with us and didn't need it.... More

Couldn't have asked for a better hotel. Came in at 9pm to check on a price, got a room for $55.00 and had great service. Room was very clean, pool and hot tub were well maintained. And the breakfast was excellent! Much better then a chain hotel. If you stay here, you won't be dissappointed!

Travelling cross country (returning to our Chicago home from San Francisco) 28 years ago with 2 young boys and a young Westie we were so delighted with the Bavarian Inn that we rescheduled the rest of our trip and spent an extra night so that we could swim in the pool, go horseback riding nearby and visit the local attractions....
