After a miserable stay at a neighboring Hotel/Waterpark - we canceled our remaining days and came to this place. It wasn't much better. It was kind of musty in the rooms and damp. The kind of place you'd expect to find black mold. Had to call three times to get a fresh change of sheets on the bed. The previous... more

Our trip started with a free upgrade to a room that was smaller and not what we reserved. As that was resolved, a resort fee appeared. Now the hotel had the use of our deposit for 2 months for one night's stay and the bottom dollar was listed in our confirmation letter that we had in hand. The clerk indicated... more

We arrived very early and were given a room right away. Service was very good. I would recommend this hotel for families traveling with children. I did not have small children with me, but I think they would have an awesome time here. They really cater to the young and there are even small slides for young kids. Great overall. more

It was my granddaughter's birthday and we had tickets to Cedar Point. 6/01/09. The day started out awful. We got up to find rain, wind, and 57 degrees. We drove up from Columbus, Ohio. The previous hotel we stayed at the night before was awful. The plan was to go to Cedar Point that day but mother nature stepped in.... more

Weatherproof fun is just one of the specialties that are offered at Great Wolf Lodge. I am glad that your family had the opportunity to experience the waterpark. When you have the opportunity to stay for a while, don't forget to visit the Cub Club. Cub Club is our children's activity area where we offer a wide variety of entertaining...

We have just returned from our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky Ohio and I have to say that I want to kick myself for all of the past summer vacations spent at places like Cedar Point and Geauga Lake! My husband and I took our 5 and 13 year old (and grandma too) down to Sandusky not... more

This is our second trip to GWL Sandusky - we made the 1st in 2006. This time they upgraded our room and gave us a fantastic rate for being return customers! The service is still top notch - the staff is friendly and helpful, even the housekeeping staff greets guests with smiles and friendly hellos. The lodge is about a... more

My husband and I do not have children, so we were a bit hesitant to stay at this hotel. However, we enjoyed the rustic ambience and our room was spacious and inviting. The kids were not too noisy and didn't disrupt our two night stay. We did not take advantage of the waterpark, but it seemed to be fun and... more

This is a great stop if you have children under 8. We stayed on a weekday before Memorial Day so there were very few guests at the hotel. The waterpark was very clean. My child (5 yo) could ride all the slides. The rides might be a bit boring for older kids. The staff and life guards were very friendly... more

I am glad to hear that your family enjoyed their visit to the Great Wolf Lodge- Sandusky, OH. We like to think that our waterpark caters to children (and adults) of any age that just want to have fun, but we’ve also found that our Sandusky, OH waterpark is great for kids 12 and younger. We look forward to seeing...

We enjoy Great Wolf Lodge. The experience is great. The food is extremely overpriced so take advantage of the microwave and mini fridge in your room. The water park is warm and the staff is very helpful. There are so many things to do here, so come early and leave late! We have stayed in several room types and not... more

We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky, Ohio April 15 thru 18. Our kids are boys ages 7 and 5. They absolutely loved the water park. The water park is great for this age group. My 7 year old was able to ride all the slides no his own. I thought this was a great advantage over other water parks.... more
