Good, but needs improvement.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Jun 2024
We got our money's worth out of the water park, but wish there was a day care for date night. I noticed many hidden fees that we weren't expecting. I also was told we had a credit by an employee, but chatted with another employee and they said other wise. It would be nice if the lodge offered "swim time" for guests staying in the lodge. Better hygiene rules for the pool would make a lot of improvement. The rooms and water park need maintenance.

The good news. The staff and housekeeping are great! Anytime I contacted them, they responded quickly. Kelsee the bartender was very kind.

Room Tip: Save your money for the food! Wish the offered rooms with a kitchen.

TripAdvisor community,
I am devastated by the experience my family and I had at the Great Wolf Lodge. Our stay, meant to be a celebration for my autistic daughter's birthday, turned into a nightmare. The staff mishandled our room, showed disrespect, and cancelled our reservation without consent. They discarded our belongings, including my daughter's birthday cake. Despite my attempts for resolution, the lodge ignored us. This experience deeply hurt my daughter and our family. I urge the Yelp community to reconsider supporting a business that treats its customers with such callousness. Avoid the Great Wolf Lodge to spare others from a similar ordeal.

There is so much rust and mold throughout the water park. I can’t believe this place is still able to stay open. Someone is going to seriously get sick. This place needs to close and deep clean. We are not looking forward to coming back to the water park tomorrow. Good thing I only booked one night.

We stayed in GWL in Anaheim because we were trying to give our children an awesome experience with GWL and Disneyland, so we stayed here first and it was awful, we had 13 people, and 3 rooms, one of our daughters was on the 6th floor in the back of the hotel, and our other family members were on the first next to each other, and upon checking out, we had food charges of places we did not eat, we had the buffet breakfast and food in the cabana, they had us charged with the small eateries we did not eat at??? Upon checking out it took the front desk 2 hours to settle our bill, and we felt okay about it, but we have since talked to GWL who informed us that one of the rooms owed money, the other rooms had credit....I love the GWL in grand mound, we have never had this experience??? also the wave pool is so small and the dance floor is super small, it was not a nice visit, and we are still fighting for our incidental holds???

Room tip: Don't book this hotel, find another location.

What an amazing place ! This is our first time here, and we LOVED our stay here. The rooms are very nice, the beds are comfortable, and the whole area is kids friendly. To my opinion, for kids 6 years old and above, it is literally HEAVEN!
My grandkids are younger : 1- 3 years old, and they also had fun.
The service was outstanding: I had a problem with the AC, and they came to fix it within 5 min .

This place is a dump. It is run down and very expensive. The food is terrible, and so is the service. What got me is you stay in the resort and they charge you per night for parking!! We just spent over $1,200 and they got us for almost another $100 on the way out for 3 days of parking. Are you kidding me? That should be in the resort fee. They are so stupid to ask patrons to pay for parking on the way out. I will not be going back! I can see them charging those who are going to the water park for the day, but come on. We had to stay there and buy your crappy overpriced food. Also, other than the waterpark, there is little to do except for an overpriced Magical Quest that requires you to buy your kid a magic wand that cost over $30 dollar. Skip this place!!
