We went to Great Wolf Lodge as kind of a last minute getaway in the middle if the week. We did not have a heads up that the property was getting a new roof. The work went on from about 8 am to 9pm. Unfortunately my room faced where the work was going on. Our balcony was closed. We had forklifts and workers outside our window 13 hours a day. Exceptionally noisy. We heard every conversation and move the workers made. We could not relax in our room at all during the day. And my toddler was not able to sleep. He normally is in bed by 7 or 7:30 at the latest. But the banging and beeping continued outside our room until 9pm. He couldn't get to sleep with that. He was up until almost 11pm the first night. Which got us off to a bad start. The hotels response when I texted “willow” at 8pm. Was sorry. They should leave soon. We enjoyed the water park and other amenities. We had a couple of fun days. The construction debacle kind of overshadowed the good and just made everyone exhausted from the start. I should also add we found at least 3 nails in the parking lot from the ongoing roof construction. I would just expect more for the price we paid. We would have chosen to stay somewhere else if we had known about the construction.

Cons: Since you are paying a steep price already just to stay, and everything extra is so high, paying $15 a day to park at your hotel is extreme. The room was totally dated. The fridge only had freezer mode so everything froze. The imperfections on the walls and corners were not fixed, they just tried to cover it up. The floors around the hotel were uneven and would sink in when stepping on them. Ankle sprain for sure. The marketplace never had anyoneone working at it. We stood there for 15 mins and finally just scanned our stuff behind the Till and bought our stuff. Nobody could charge anything to the room with the wrist band which was supposed to be a perk. Pros: food was good. Waterpark was nice all around. They even monitored the adult only hottub. Kicked minors out. Arcade was descent. Employees were wonderful. Waterpark does close to early. We didnt get back from our daily events till 7:30 or 8:00 sometimes, and couldnt use the Waterpark. Arcade was open 24 hrs which was nice for the adult kids. You can hear running and jumping above you, but luckily we are not fun haters and so it didnt bother us.

My niece had a blast and that is what I am trying to keep my focus on cause there were so many unfortunate situations that made the experience less. Some of the staff was rude, especially in the coffee shop. Then we rent a cabana for $200 for the day expecting to be able to let my niece relax and not having to get up to go get drinks and food. Not the case. Not enough staffing so we have to wait in lines to get food. Then go to the pool bar only to find out we cant get anything except beer cause someone over 21 is not available. Then try to get a non alcoholic slush for my niece and still unable to get it. Go upstairs to the bar and their blender is broke. The frustration came because all occurrences happen within a 15 minute period. And the bracelet they give you so you don’t have to carry cash or card, well that never worked no matter how many times I told them. The water park itself was a blast. The building needs some updates. Putt putt golf was fun but it was so run down and truly just an awful course.

I like that all the kids were safe and having a good time. The environment was friendly and clean. I wish that things were more affordable. Everything is over priced
I think it was nice that they had multiple birthday packages.
Nice clean room with lots of towels
The kids enjoyed filling cups at the candy store, and the staff was really friendly and helpful both times we visited

Excessive charges but the grandkids loved it!

We took our grandkids to Great Wolf Lodge and had a great time. Unfortunately, we were charged for parking even though we didn't have a vehicle. We were also charged for towels even though we returned them, and checked them in with the attendant (which involves tapping your wristband).
