Wow - I wish I had read these reviews before booking the trip. Although to be honest my kids enjoyed the trip - it was fairly miserable overall and an unbelievably poor value. The mattresses in the rooms are by far and away the worse I've ever seen. I've stayed at a lot of hotels in my life - but... more

We rented three rooms for two nights. We had stayed in the same Lodge two years ago. However, this time the mattresses were so wore out they actually sagged in the middle. You get a good mattress even a discount hotel. Carpeting needs streached, cleaned and updated. For what you pay for the room it should be much more comfortable... more

Beds are terrible!!!! Feel like they are 20 years old .. and well {over}used!! Televisions in rooms way outdated . .VCRs . .no \DVD players/no flatscreens. Carpets dirty, rooms smell. Water Park access via TWO small and SLOW elevators is absurd. For nearly $600 per night . . .way overpriced. Cost of other things for children . .especially the "wand"... more

We had heard from other families that have gone, that Great Wolf Lodge was a fantastic water park and place to stay. We decided to go and check it out for ourselves. Was it worth going?....Probably. Will we go again?....Probably not. By all descriptions, it seems like there is plenty of water adventure for the family, but after an hour... more

Will never stay there again....in all my years I have never seen a bed bug until our night at Great wolf lodge. We stopped at this hotel as it was half way point before continuing on our vacation wasted a whole day of our vacation due to ther bed bug problem. It made the rest of the vacation uncomfortable as... more

My family, 2 adults and 2 children age 9 and 14 months, went to the Great Wolf Lodge for the first time July 7th, 2010. I booked the room last minute through the great wolf lodge website. I paid $327 for one night. Check-in is not until 4pm, but the waterpark is open to new guests at 1pm. We arrived... more

We just returned from a free weekend at the Great Wolf compliments of my wife's employer and we would never consider returning to this place even if it were free again! To begin with, how about doing a little maintenance? Light bulbs were burned out, areas looked like they hadn't been dusted in years. The indoor waterpark for children had... more

My family, which included my husband and I and our 2 children (six and four) arrived at the GWL around 11:30 am. We went ahead and checked in and to our surprise, our room was ready for us. We hurriedly got ourselves settled in to our room (2 queen beds with a patio...nothing fancy like a suite or Kid Cabin)... more

The pros: great waterpark and service The cons: WAY overpriced (even if you get the waterpark), rooms outdated and need some TLC. Hall carpets dingy and the whole place needs an overhaul. Did I mention OVERPRICED! Go to a different waterpark and stay at a different motel/hotel. This place isn't getting better - but the prices are outrageous. more

Next visit to Kansas City will not stay at the GWL; but instead will stay at a nice hotel and go to the Oceans Of Fun water Park. Not sure where to start: rooms are disgustingly unclean, service is poor, amenities are third rate, pillows bedding and mattresses are the lowest possible quality, ostaff is rude and unhelpful, and everything... more
