Traveled here last summer and the resort was clean and well maintained. Great water park inside and not too crowded. Life guards were pleasant and friendly. Location was close to downtown Traverse so convienient to the resteraunts, etc. Would visit another Great Wolf as well as I think the are pretty organized. More

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge for my daughters birthday. Check-in went well got to the room and it was nice and roomy the issue that we had was there were bugs flying out of the drain in the sink. Also they had quiet hours posted but not really enforced lots of kids running around yelling and knocking on... More

I stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in January 2012 with some friends for a weekend of fun in Traverse City. The wilderness theme and water park make this resort attractive to families. It is kid heaven. The location of this hotel is great. It is close to town and near a Meijer, McDonalds, and the Flap Jack Shack. It... More

Surprisingly, they were more enthralled with Magiquest than the water park. At 7 and 5 years old, I was expecting we would spend the whole time in the waterpark, and they kept begging to go out and do more quests. Maybe there is an opportunity for a whole magic-themed hotel, with a pool and some slides to break up the... More

We have stayed at the Great Wolf several times over the last ten years, and the kids always love it. The water park and Magicquest are tons of fun, and the kids (when younger) loved the story time and clock performance at the end of the day. This trip we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, and... More

Booked a weekend at the hotel to celebrate our children's birthdays. We were expecting one rate when booking the stay, but paid a much higher rate when checking in. When questioned, the front desk personnel was rude and presented us with a "were full, don't care if you're happy" attitude. When attempted to address the matter with Angela, the manager... More

I had a conference to attend at the GWL in Traverse City a couple weeks back. The conference facilities are perfect for the event (it's held there each year). I've been to both this one and a couple of the other venues in the franchise (Niagara Falls, Cleveland, etc.) for either business or, when much younger, playtime with the kids... More

Enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and very comfortable. The waterpark was great and the kids loved every minute. There are plenty of activities for the kids besides the waterpark, if you are willing to pay. That is probably my only complaint, everything else in the hotel cost extra money and in my opinion is extremely overpriced. I would... More

My kids had a great time they are a 8 girl and 6 year old boy. There favorite thing was the Lilly pad pool surprisingly. Myself and fiancé had no problems relaxing in the hot tub while they ran around playing. Both are pretty good swimmers so they did so without life vest which I felt more than comfortable with...
