We drove up for an overnight getaway. It was almost $200 for one night with pool passes for us and our three children. The rooms were clean and basic. The water park did seem older, somewhat grimy, equipment not in the greatest of repair (ie the staff didn't know how to inflate a raft for the water slide). In the... more

Very small indoor waterpark. I am a grandmother traveling with 10 year old granddaughter. We stayed at the attached hotel which included free passes to waterpark. If it had not been included in the package, I would have been very disappointed based on the size of the park and the admission price. We attended the waterpark all three days we... more

Grand Harbor has beautiful views and lots of on-site amenities including restaurant and lounge. The waterpark is a bit grimy and worn. The netting in the climbing area has quite a few breaks in it and there is a line of grime along the waterline in the kiddie pool area. The lazy river is tiny and there is no actual... more

The Beautiful area brought us to this hotel and not to forget the great price we got for our room. The staff was great, they were so helpful to any questions we had, offered us directions and recommendations to different stores, restraunts and places to take the kids. My children loved the water park and the food was excellent. We... more

The water park is fairly basic. There are four slides. The first is a tiny one meant for little ones. Then there are two body slides and one tube slide. The tube slide has a stair case devoted to it. The body slides require you to go through a small portion of the kiddie jungle gym to get to them.... more

Be careful , be sure the date you book will not have to be cancelled because if you have to cancell they charge you $15.00. They refuse to refund this money. I was told i would not get this $15.00 refunded even if I rescheduled for a different date. It's too bad that Grand Harbor will never again have the... more

Overpriced - I booked late and it was all I could get in the Galena vicinity. Only 2 elevators to service the entire hotel - frustratingly long delays at peak times for checkin/checkout. Waterpark OK for 6 year old - my older boys were bored. Not up to standard of Wisconsin indoor waterpark we'd previously stayed at. more

Well it looks like a beautiful resort and my whole family was excited but the place was very overrated. That was a real let down for what we were paying. There were long and slow lines at check in, took us a half hour, and our room was very small. The water park was fine except my older children were... more

I had a conversation with a gentleman at a car wash and he kinda told me about the Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark. He said, "It's a nice little get-a-way and it's fun for the kids." Well I went home, did a little research, and decided to drive on down. We are very satisfied with our mini-vacation. Everything went extremely... more

Enjoyed the motel and the waterpark--however my 11 year old got tired of the park really fast, while my younger kids could have stayed there all day. The riverfront was very cool--neat to sit out there and watch the boats. The food was very expensive and there was no fast food close by. A cool car trip was to the... more
