Just right for our young family

Easy to find, convenience inside with all major attractions close to each other. Fun for various ages, my girls are 7 and 3. Only minor complaints... when ordering a pizza in house you have to pick up at a counter instead of getting room delivery & the line was rediculously long b/c it's also the line for sweets, ice cream, etc. They finally got the hint & split us into two lines, one for only picking up pizza. Lighting in the rooms is a little dim, HVAC could be updated.. no digital read out, very loud fan even on low. Price of soda there is high. Otherwise, wonderful time, lots to do, great fun! Clean, nice, etc. Def recommend & will go back

Fantastic family getaway!!!

Perfect hotel for our family of four. This was our first stop on our trip before heading to the amusement park. The rooms were great and clean. The kids loved the wolf den. The wolf pass was a great deal to help explore the rest of the amenities. Story time was fun! We just loved everything about our trip!

Come early to enjoy the waterpark before check in. That's way you can enjoy your time if you are just doinga one nighter. That way you can also enjoy the other hotel amenities.

CHEER THIS

total understanding that this was a kid friendly hotel, not understanding that this was a cheerleader convention! GO PATHERS! BEAT CENTRAL! that's what I heard screamed and chanted through out our stay from morning to night and they even had a tent set up on the hotel grounds so they could cheer and practice! Checked in to the hotel only to have house keeping up in the first ten minutes due to body odor rank sheets that were never changed. NEVER AGAIN! you can keep your wolf lodge.

Perfect for Families

My friend and I took our brothers to Cedar Point midweek. We were looking for a decent hotel to stay in overnight. The Great Wolf Lodge was friendly, accomodating for the number of people and EXTREMELY comfortable. It was so nice to have mini fridge, sinks, tv, balcony, and all the beds (and pull out sofa). When I have children, I will definitely return. The only thing I didn't like was that we had to pay for breakfast buffet the morning of checkout. Would have been nice to have a cheap continental option if we wanted to use it. This was the best trip to Cedar Point yet!

Great place for the kids to unwind.

The staff was great. Hotel caters to their guests. The carpet could be replaced showing a lot of wear & tear. The bath tub has chips & is stained looks dirty. Other than that I can't complain. The kids had a great time. We were pleased & would come again.
