Wow... what a difference. We stayed at GWL MN for a week before heading to this one and it was a total nightmare. The place was chaos, from the quality of the room to the staff to the pool. Everything was so bad. I was contemplating cancelling my reservation here and just going somewhere else but Im very glad I didnt. This location was a stark contrast from the MN location. It was CLEAN, the staff was very young but SO RESPECTFUL, accommodating and attentive. The water park was operated professionally and everything went above and beyond our expectations. If we ever decide to visit the GFL again, it will be the Gurnee location. Thanks for everything.

The property needs maintenance. Just very run down rooms even for a premium suite, we were a little disappointed. Cleanliness was okay but we still had to clean out the shower and tubs. Coffee pot was missing the tray. The staff were very accommodating and kind! Walkability is not convenient for all.

Our room bands did not work to open door upon check-in. went back and was treated royally by Katie. Sofa bed in room was very uncomfortable. sheets were not left in room for sofa bed. Resort was much cleaner than the last time we went there.😊 feel parking fee is not necessary, prices are expensive enough. seems a little over the top.
