Apparently, they now charge for parking, which is ridiculous considering the stay is already so expensive for going there and there’s so many resort fees already so that’s just one more way to gouge the customer. I was extremely annoyed by it, considering there was nothing documented on hotels website nor Wolf Lodge website when I made the reservation and then when I got there, I was given the wrong Wristband and had to go back and wait in line for another 15 minutes just to get the correct bracelets.

Everything was great at the property except the condition of the room. The bathroom fan was broken and noisy, the tub did not drain properly, we all had to take showers standing in dirty water. The door to the bedroom did not close. The pull out couch bed was terrible, worst ever. However, the kids had a blast, the water park was amazing, and staff were all cheerful and friendly. Would definitely return, and the issues with my suite can be easily remedied.

So this is a mixed review that appears to be excellent. First of all the staff are really nice and while we were there helpful. The whole property was in fantastic condition. The bad: we attended the nascar race right by there and so we got there close to 7 , by the time we grabbed a bite to eat the pool/ water park was closed. Also the big one, we had almost 500 dollars in different charges charged to my debit card. I called and was told someone would call me back in 3 to 4 business days, this is not adequate! We finally got ahold of someone at the property the next day and they couldn’t tell me what all of it was for but it probably would fall off. I booked through Expedia and it was fully paid for so the 15 dollars parking is all that should have been charged. We will see if our money is returned. So if you have 500 extra to wait around for then it’s a nice place..

This is a great stay for some weekend fun with with kids. It's clean, staff is super helpful and kind, the themeing is great and the waterpark has a lot to offer. The food is good. It is a bit pricey. On a busy weekend the elevators are slow to use.

disappointing
It was disappointing in the end. Check-out time was 11 a.m. One of the housekeeping people came to the room by 10 a.m. and asked us to leave quickly. I thought he came for housekeeping, but he came to tell us to hurry to leave. That was very inappropriate.

We paid for a room for two queen beds. And the room was supposed to be able to sleep 6 comfortably. That is not what we got. For our family of 5. We got ONE FULL size (very uncomfortable) bed and a couch that pulled out into a uncomfortable bed. Leaving two kids to have to sleep on the floor. Very over priced and not worth the money. Everything was extra. Parking extra breakfast extra coffee extra.
