First time at a Great Wolf Lodge. Kids were very happy. Parking oughta be free: felt a bit nickel-and-dime-y to charge for that.

Liked: Cleanliness
Parking was not included in the very expensive stay. Bars we ok and food was decent. Not large enough for the amount of people inside and game room was ridiculously expensive and the reward selection was almost nothing. Overall I would not stay here again for the price.

This lodge is not different than the location in Wisconsin Dells that I visited years ago.
The extremely high prices for rooms, miserable food for a very high price. We've notice people bringing food from outside resort.
The resort double charge me for the room, we booked the reservation with expedia and paid with expedia, but the hotel decided that it's ok to be charged again.
You have to pay for parking like over 15$/night.
So if you get $200/night room it will cost over $600 after tax this tax that resort fees, reservation fees. It's disgusting.
One short sentence, we will never return here ever,
There are other reasons other than what I just mentioned, it will not be appropriate for me to discuss here.
