Our family has been here many times since open but notes that it is not as clean as it used to be and things have fallen. Location could be cleaner and needs to be upgraded. Rooms were good and clean though.

Stayed here before but this trip was terrible. Somehow they added multiple room & parking charges to my credit card (which was fully paid for before I arrived). Also, bought lunch for small children, stopped to buy an alcoholic drink, and their card reader wasn't working. After 30 mins. of waiting for them to get the card reader to work & asking a Supervisor numerous times just to give me the drink free so I could feed my kids, they charged me for the drink and all my food WAS NOW COLD!!!

We enjoyed everything about Great Wolf Lodge. The only disadvantage was that they accept no cash what so ever in the entire lodge, except at the money into debit card "ready card" machine that I later found out is only redeemable to use your reloaded cash at the lodge it self! Be warned! Be prepared! Other than that would and will go again!!!!!

Lots of fun, just wish there wasnt the initial hiccup from Expedia not paying them 🙄. Still waiting on my refund from Expedia, but not the hotel's fault. The hotel staff were very accommodating and helped us figure out how to proceed with check in. Lots of fun things for the kids to do! Waterpark was so much fun!
