Great resort hotel! Waterpark was fun and as clean as a water park can be. Hotel itself had lots of fun things for family and the room was clean and in great shape with fun built in bunk beds for the kids. We ordered pizza from one of the on site food areas and it was surprisingly reasonably priced and large and very good! Overall a very fun stay and we will be going back at some point. Two thumbs up from us!

A great deal for our family of 4 of under $200/nt, less than nearby hotels that couldn't offer the waterpark. That said, I wouldn't pay much more to stay here and advised our local family not to bother paying the daily price for the waterpark. It's very small for the $50-70 entry price tag (day of week drives price). So we opted for attractions at the mall of america when our family came into the city. As expected, everything on the property is pricey and they charge daily for parking. Rooms are dated, not very inviting but with so much going on in the area, it provided a convenient place to sleep. Overall, if the price is right, I highly recommend! Note, this was our first GWL experience so do not have other properties to compare.

I paid the hotel because my kids wanted waterpark. The price is not cheap and I expected that parking lot is included but I had to pay for this. Also I noticed that hotel charged me two significant sums except damage deposit. It costed me time to speak with staff and they ensured me that money will be returned and after few days they returned me not authorized payments but I lost around $20 on currency rate as I'm from Canada. If it didn't happen I would rate this hotel better but this is spoiled my mood, especially wasted time for figuring out

Not great. Much smaller than one in Lake Geneva. Everything had set, limited hours like the dunks donuts, ice cream shop and waterpark which was limiting and annoying. Maybe that works better for families with younger kids. You have to walk through the area with arcade and other activities to meet water park, so kind of a long, cold walk back to your room after swimming. There are very few places to just sit in common areas of the hotel, service is really, really slow at coffee shop and front desk never seemed to have anything you tried to ask for. The upside is the staff is all really polite and they do a good job keeping everything clean. I don’t think will go back, we have the similar venues that we prefer.

We were there on a Sunday evening and it was really busy. Staff was really nice and the lifeguards are very diligent. The room was clean. The bed sheets didn't really fit the bed, but it was fine. One TV didn't work well, but we only tried to use it a little bit before bedtime. Lots of activities to keep your family busy. Our kids had a blast!

Lodge was great. Second time staying and we really enjoyed it. Only things I didn’t care for were that the slides have such sharp edges, your shoulders take such a beating. Because of this, the only slides that you can really enjoy are the tube slides. Places just needs a little bit of love. Secondly, the staff member working the rope course was far from friendly. When dealing with kids, be kind. We as well as many other parents didn’t care for how he was towards the children. Honestly just felt like he hated his job. Overall we really enjoy this place and in order to get the most out of it, I’d say 2 nights are a minimum. Awesome for a family weekend.
