Our room was for three adults and two children, and was classified as a family suite. The cost was slightly more than $250 per night. The room had two queen beds and a sofabed. It was tastefully decorated and the beds, including the sofabed, were very comfortable.
Guests may arrive by noon on the day they will check into the hotel, and have early entry into the water park. A plastic wristband is worn by all water park guests. Check-in for the hotel is officially at 4pm, but our room was ready, and we were able to check in at 1:30pm.
We found all of the employees of the Great Wolf Lodge to be very friendly and courteous. During our stay, we were asked several times if we were having a good vacation.
Our grandchildren were truly sad when checkout time arrived. They had a wonderful time at the water park, during "story time," at the arcade, and in our room. We all felt that our money was well spent at the Great Wolf Lodge. (Money-saving tip: Check the Great Wolf Lodge's website at www.greatwolflodge.com for specials. We weren't able to find any because of the high rate of occupancy during the Christmas holidays, but there are plenty of specials at other times of the year. Also, unless your children are "good eaters," it is best to take along a few of their favorite snacks.)
