The staff was well informed and did an excellent job interacting. The shows were fantastic and engaging for all ages! The shops were a bit pricey. The waterpark was great! We plan on going back. The room was not properly cleaned and there were burn holes in the sheets. Room was also noisy. No sleep for the wicked

We went for 3 days and 2 nights with our 14 year old grandson and his friend. They had an amazing time . The entire place was super clean and the staff is so perfect. Would recommend for anyone but the younger children would be so happy.
Y family and I enjoyed the activities at Great Wolf and. It definitely kept the kids entertained, however, the room was less than adequate for 5 people with the bathroom much too small and the sonk being situated outside of the bathroom in the bedroom areas was mot
We stayed in room 218. There was a tumbling sound coming in from somewhere all day and night what sounded like its completely from a laundry room and washing machines and dryer were running non stop. It was so loud that kid kept asking when it will stop because he couldn't go to sleep from the noise. Besides that it was fine.

We were a family of 7. We reserved a family suite. The room did not have a microwave. They brought one and it didn't work. The pool area closed at 8 but check in isn't until 4. So 4 hours of availability is not enough time. The beds were so uncomfortable. The pillows felt like they had no stuffing. Did not sleep well at all. The hallways are an icebox. There is no reason for the air in the hallway to be that cold in a water park. Overall it was not fun and not comfortable. Even the kids said they don't want to stay there again.
It would be nice if the property had a restaurant on site

My family has been going to this Great Wolf Lodge location at least once a year for 8 years. Although they continue to maintain the overall experience for our children, the lodging itself has gone down hill with no renovations during those 8 years. They are now charging $19 per night for parking and have removed microwaves from all of the guest rooms with one microwave located at the end of each hall with the ice machines. Our airconditioner leaked, the DISH service wasn't working on our TV. The patio table was broken. There was a large pink stain on the wall. There was a potato chip on one of the main stairwells when we arrived on Sunday and it was still there when we left on Wednesday. My point is what once felt like a DIsney type experience as deteriorated. Couple that with the blatant money grab of charging for parking when you have a dedicated lot for your guests and now a vacation kiosk in the lobby, we are more likely to move on to Kalahari. The entertainment staff is still great but everything is more like it was at Castaway Bay when we stopped going there.
