What they did well, quiet-wise: Who'd have thunk that a place that so caters to rowdy family fun would be so perfectly quiet?
Bavarian Inn designates one pool and hot tub just for adults, far from the other more active pools, with dimmed lighting and no music. It was very peaceful, and well used.
In seemingly every stairwell, framed signs encouraged visitors to keep their voices down in consideration of other guests.
The hotel shuts down the stairway closest to the most active pools at night, to prevent a nonstop thunder of footsteps up and down.
What they did poorly, quiet-wise: As you might expect at a family-friendly hotel, we heard crying babies and kids in the halls. Maybe a hotel that designates an adults-only pool could take that one step farther and have an adults-only floor or wing?
