As my 6 year old put it, "This is the awesomest hotel ever." So I would say the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky is pleasing its core audience. I would recommend this hotel for families with kids 10 and under. We stayed Oct. 23-25 in a regular family suite with our 3 boys ages 9, 6 and 17 months. We... more

Visited GWL with husband and children we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. No large crowds here! Rooms are a little outdated. Old TVs!! Don't expect flat screens, more like a 19in old color TV. The bathroom curtains had mold on it. Yuk! Okay, we moved past these inefficiencies. I hope GWL steps up their cleanliness and updates their rooms. I consider... more

A relaxing family getaway....What is better than that? I hope that you reported your issues to our guest services team. Maintaining a healthy and fun environment are key elements to the Great Wolf Lodge experience. The waterpark at Sandusky is smaller than some of the other GWL properties. If you are looking for additional thrills, I would encourage you to...

Love, love, love Great Wolf Lodge. We took our two children, ages 4 and 1 for a long weekend and it was perfect. The hotel is very clean and family friendly. The waterpark area is wonderful too and although not the biggest of GWL parks, it was the perfect size for our young children. The food was great too, a... more

We planned a last minute trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio. We stayed in a basic room for 2 nights. We took items for breakfast and lunch so we could eat in the room and ordered out pizza one night... just ask the front desk and they will give you flyers for pizza places that deliver! Our only... more

I've stayed at the Traverse City Great Wolf Lodge, which is larger and offers more services. However, both charge the same rates, which I think is a rip-off. Additionally, there are several other indoor waterparks in Sandusky and just $30 more a night, you get double the waterpark. The rooms were clean and staff friendly. I didn't appreciate the heavily... more

I called to make a reservation directly to the resort phone # which is ----. The women was very rude and sounded like she didn't care. I decided not to continue making reservation there. I have been to Kalahari in Sandusky, OH six times in the last three year and always had wonderful times there. I've been to GWL in... more

Typically this hotel & those of it's kind would be too expensive for my tastes. My vacation plans do not typically include "destination resorts", but rather a place to sleep in between seeing the sights & going places. When searching for a hotel for our 4 night stay in Sandusky I happened upon a discount code for GWL that allowed... more

I am glad to hear that your family had the opportunity to experience Great Wolf Lodge- Sandusky OH. Generally speaking, I think that you are like many guests that have previously overlooked Great Wolf as a place to visit. They expect our prices to fall outside of their budgets. I always encourage our future guests to visit the website to...

We just returned from an overnight stay at the Great Wolf in Sandusky and we had a wonderful time. The water park was great for our two young children and they both had a blast - our 5 year old cried when it was time to leave. Plus, the staff was very accommodating (due to a number of reasons we... more

My wife and I just returned from a three day mini vacation with our two daughters. We have a three year old and a five year old. We had planned out this trip for several months. We booked everything online and found this process rather simple. We did not opt for any of the extras but chose the basic room... more

We arrived late Friday night and got a room very quickly, and in a great location, #237. It was close to everything. We went to the arcade as the waterpark closed within the hour and there was plenty for all to do, kids, 2 and 4yrs and parents and enough gaming to go around for all the guests. The room... more
