Great Wolf Lodge | Illinois

"If you’re looking for a kid friendly hotel with a water park, this is a great option. The staff was friendly, the room was nice, the bed was comfy, and it was fun. I do have 1 complaint, but I suppose it’s to be expected. Everything is overpriced. They nickel and dime you every step of the way, so just go in knowing that. It’s a nice, fun, comfortable, expensive hotel!"

"We stayed 1 night, my husband, 17 year old son, and I. We had fun! All the employees were nice and friendly. Room was clean. My favorite was how warm the water was, I've been to a few other indoor water parks and the water is always cold. So that was a huge plus for me. Food prices were very high but that's every water Park, and was expected. But there is a lot of places nearby outside of the water park to eat at. The only suggestion is it would be nice if you guys added a Jacuzzi in there. Oh yeah another plus is the room key is wired in the wristband, so not having to remember to grab that every time we left the room was pretty nice."

"Went for a one night stay to celebrate my son’s birthday. We didn’t buy any of the packages, but the availability of having the option was really nice. Everything so was clean. The Wolf pass was a great deal and we should have stretched our stay to not have to cram it all in one afternoon, but we had plenty of time for all the activities with a minimal wait time. I was really impressed by the staff, and how kid friendly everything was. Two big things that I really enjoyed — no cash on the premises, and the key to your room is in the rfid chip within the wristband. For a weekend stay it was busy but still enjoyable, and we will def book another trip here in the future!"

"Our room’s smoke detectors had saran Wrap over them and our room smelled like cigarettes covered up by air sanitizer (huge safety hazard). Hallways smells like marijuana at night.Big parties happening in several rooms. Quiet hours don’t seem to be enforced. Shower water barely even warm. Pool water and air temp was uncomfortably low compared to similar resorts up in the Dells. Only positive is that some of the staff is very nice and seem to be doing the best they can. Overall, we probably won’t be coming back. It’s just not as family friendly as they try to make it seem."

"This place is just lovely! Very clean, amazing staff (Shout out to Emily who went above and beyond at our check in and then also the next day making sure everything was amazing!). The food is good, the resort is clean, and the water park is clean. The lifeguards are VERY serious about watching and checking even though it was not too busy this time of year but are also very friendly. Families were still having tons of fun. We did not bring kids, but as adults we had a lot of fun on slides, wave pool, and walking around enjoying the holiday decorations and fireplace!"
