We had a wonderful time here. The front desk personnel were extremely friendly and welcoming. The staff members in the craft room were very nice and accommodating to our family. The room seemed "okay" on cleanliness. We probably would have preferred a little more attention to detail. The life guards in the baby pool did not seem to be very... More

We stayed for three days, two nights, which I think was the perfect amount of time. We have a 5, 9, and 12 year old--perfect ages for the amenities here. I would definitely recommend buying the Paw Pass for your children. I would never have bought all of these things individually (ex. A cup of candy), but all together the... More

I recently stayed at GWL for 2 nights. It is an awesome place for families. But there are things you need to know before your stay that they don't tell you ahead of time. First of all you need to have $250.00 per night on your credit card that they hold as a damage deposit. Then after your stay it... More

Had a great time! Rooms are clean and spacious. Had 2 10 year olds and a 2 year old and no one was bored. There was something to do for all of them and the adults too. The breakfast buffet was delicious as well as the goodies in the sweet shop. Also having Dunkin Donuts right in the hotel was... More

We stay here regularly (every 6 months or so) for family getaways. The first time was a bit expensive but if you book the BEBACK rate before you leave it is quite affordable. This place has everything! Great food (I mean desserts), great waterpark, arcade and a good gym for the adults. We usually bring a friend for our daughter... More

You can't get a better deal than going to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. The accommodations are very nice, but the key factor is the family fun, from the indoor water park, to the game room, mini golf and the everyday activities and games for the children. They even have story time. If your children are old enough they... More

The lodge is nice for kids in various ages. One day and you pretty much get the waterpark experience covered. Room (kids cabin) was spacious and clean. Hallways on floor 1 were kind of neglected- some missing side rails and paint here and there. Bowling experience was. Not so good - had to wait more than 30 minutes until a... More

Great place for a weekend "get-away" for parents with kids and for the grandparents too! Wonderful destination. Plenty to do at the water park, the evening story time and fun places to go for making crafts with the kids. Traverse City has great shopping and sight seeing too. All in all a great thing to do! The rooms with the... More

We were very very impressed with our room! It had recently been remodeled and had new beds & furniture. The mattresses were super comfy! I think they may have been some sort of memory foam? The guest service was super fast and very friendly. Our sofa bed, which was brand new, had some sort of manufacturing defect and wouldn't open... More

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge as a vacation and extended anniversary get away. We wanted a place were we could relax and our 21mth old could have fun, excitement, and wonder. The Lodge was just the right place for that. A few things that we ran into was that there was only room service while the restaurant was... More
