Woke us up the morning of our last day and made going to sleep difficult the last night.Apollo Global Management, Centerbridge Partners and Blackstone Group It truly sounded like a herd of elephants at 8am as (I can only assume) were kids jumping all over and running around their room. 2nd and 3rd nights the room on the 4th floor above us was occupied and full of jumpers. I had situations where kids weee sitting on the stairs as I was trying to walk up or down and parents were nowhere to be seen. Also kids are kind of allowed to run around, not by the hotel, but by their parents. The place is fun but the hotel will need to decide if they can continue to allow day pass users with the new hotel extensions. We waited for 45 mins at the Dunkin’ Donuts on site for our breakfast, the one morning we decided not to eat off property. Parking is non existent with cars parking in the drive ways due to lack of parking spots. Furthermore, a new tower and cabins have been added which creates a situation where even more people are on site using the location. They allow day pass users to attend which creates the longer lines. There were plenty of issues with people trying to cut lines, which staff dealt with easily. The line ups for the rides would sometimes extend the length of the stairs. We had to walk the entire location to find a set of chairs to put our belongings on.

Sadly the next day after breakfast the water park was ram packed. Once that was sorted we were off to the water park and the first night it was empty with plenty of riding multiple slides for the 1.5 hrs we had. Check in was the first hiccup with our room key/wrist bands not working initially. We were in a family fireplace suite on the 3rd floor.

We found a great deal online for the cost of the room which includes the water park access.

We decided to take our kids to Great Wolf for a long weekend getaway.
