Guest Reviews
- susie (10/5): - Very kid friendly
- Teresa (10/5): - First stay at great wolf, would definitely stay again.
- Suzanne (2/5): - Was not impressed. It’s a motel with some water slides and creepy parking attendants. The plumbing was bad and the sink wasn’t. the bathroom. It’s way too overpriced for what it is. Just stay at a motel 6 and go to Disney!
- Travis (6/5): - Waterpark & Arcade was awesome and my son loved it! Only hiccup was Expedia & Great wolf lodge didn’t communicate properly and I was charged $1400~ by GWL upon arrival even though I had already paid thru Expedia. GWL has blamed Expedia for not communicating properly which I can believe as they also seemed to leave my son off the booking so my reservation at GWL only showed myself. I was told I would see my duplicate charge reversed upon checkout so I will have to follow that up to make sure it happens. Check in at GWL is a mess if it’s busy- you are supposed to get your room by 4pm but we didn’t get into our room until 630pm on the first night even though I was told the room was actually ready around 5 however I didn’t recieve any notification (which I was supposed to). I had checked in with front desk around 430 (had to lineup for about 30mins to speak to someone) and they said I would receive a message when it was ready We just played in the waterpark but still pretty annoying. I will be following up with Expedia to see what went wrong but it seems to be an issue with attention to detail on whoever actions these bookings. I would probably skip Expedia and just book direct next time as I didn’t realize what a cluster things could turn into when someone can’t do their job properly.
- Clayton (10/5): - Everything was amazing, staff were amazing. Ten out of ten for sure. We will be back!!
- Malia (10/5): - Love this hotel! In addition to the great water park, the hotel and rooms are cozy, clean and very family friendly. The rooms are also surprisingly quiet considering the amount of families staying here. Close to Disneyland which is a plus. Highly recommend!
- Christine Marie (10/5): - There are so many things to do here. We also like it that there is ART bus that comes to the hotel and takes us to Disneyland and back again. Also EVE to take us to the airport. Very convenient for bus.
- Kara (2/5): - The room when I booked stated 6 maximum. But then I had to pay $20 each for the 5th and 6th person. Totally disappointed!
- Corina (2/5): - I have nothing good to say
- Tiberio (10/5): - I am a great wolf frequent customer and the only thing I can say this location needs a remodel in some areas
- Patricia (8/5): - Room was not handicap friendly .. The blankets were thin .. Gift shops and water park and game zone and pizza and ice cream was great .. Loose Moose buffet was not worth the price .. Overnight parking waa a bit expensive
- Cesar (10/5): - We love the great wolf lodge
- Nicole (8/5): - Super dated. They need to remodel.
- Anna M (4/5): - Upon arrival, staff was not very informative or very friendly, parking was a little much for spending the money and all the extras you’re already paying for your kids to have a good time. Also never saw or talked to anyone in housekeeping, so in the evening after I first full day there, I spoke to someone at the counter (as no one answered at the front desk or answered the housekeeping line) so the person I spoke to said “bcs we’re staying for several days we have to request someone to tidy up our room and bring clean towels. I asked for someone to please come in on the second day to take out trash and replace towels I was told they made note and housekeeping would be there the next day. No one ever showed up… I was under the impression we were on the same page when I walked away from the front counter. Guess not… soo frustrating.
- Kayla (10/5): - Bus stop not ecv friendly. Beast staff and resort
- JOHNNY (2/5): - Parking sucks. Don't plan to leave, if so you have to pay for parking again.
- Monica (10/5): - I like how they have a lot of activities for the kids and it is a very safe place for them as well. What I don’t like is it definitely needs to have some remodeling carpets are very dirty. I also think parking is a bit pricey.
- Trang (10/5): - If you plan on using the sofa bed, make sure it’s for young ones and not adults because it’s not in the best quality however, I think sofa beds are pretty uncomfortable in general but this one my daughter woke up with a knot on her neck. The carpet bit pretty gross. You would want to put on some slippers to be in the room because this is a kid place. I wasn’t even comfortable with my three year-old nephew rolling around. He was the reason why we booked this place . There was a elevator permit that was expired posted on their elevators
- Marriane (10/5): - Enjoyable staycation with the family with in interactive activities.
- arlyn joy (10/5): - over all the waterpark is awesome only the AC in 103 is very loud
- Justin (10/5): - 10/10
- Annie (6/5): - The rooms were great. Spacious and clean and delivered that lodge theme experience. The area around the pool area however was very dirty and mainly because people just walk there with their slippers that they probably walk in the streets as well. I think it would be great if they enforce to allow water shoes, beach shoes only. The matts around the pool area had deep dirt to it. I expected a supper clean area since kids are the primary users. Also they need better venting system as the smell ( pool water, chlorine+ urine :) ) was very strong. I took my niece there and she had a great time, but I think we will just stick to outdoor beach.
- hailey (10/5): - Loved this place kids had fun and enjoyed everything!! 😌
- James (10/5): - Great place for families with young children.
- Jeremy (10/5): - Great great wolf. Loved the water park
- Nathaniel (10/5): - It’s close to Disney and has a great water park
- Susan (2/5): - Horrible if I could give 0 stars I would. The place was flirty. My grandson got hurt on the water slide. Food was disgusting. Employees gave out wrong info.
- Joseph (8/5): - We always enjoy Great Wolf Lodge, and this trip was no exception when it came to family fun. The water park was a hit with the kids, and we still made great memories together. That being said, compared to several other Great Wolf locations we have visited, this Garden Grove location was a bit disappointing. The rooms and facilities are showing their age with worn furniture, dated décor, and overall in need of some upgrades. Communication from staff was inconsistent, and at times we were given unclear or incorrect directions which caused unnecessary frustration. Another downside was the dining situation. Since we were not there on the weekend, only one restaurant was available for dinner instead of two, and unfortunately, the food at that restaurant was disappointing. One of the biggest letdowns was the lack of a luggage storage option. At other Great Wolf Lodges we have been able to store our bags and enjoy the water park before check in. Here, when our room was not ready at 4 PM, we had no option but to wait, missing out on valuable water park time. Overall, we had a fantastic time as a family, but this location could greatly benefit from upgrades, improved staff communication, more consistent dining options, and offering luggage storage like other properties. With some improvements, this could easily match the magic we have experienced at other Great Wolf
- Maisha (10/5): - Front desk customer service was amazing. I had a not so good experience two years prior and the management team took extra good care of my family this go around. Overall a good stay. We are returning soon.
- Joan (10/5): - It's a great way to end summer break. Really havint rubbing fun
- Jasmin (10/5): - From food to room this place is amazing
- Fulvio (10/5): - Nice
- phu (6/5): - parking fee is high
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Fun family oriented, safe clean very nice employees helpful stuff and me and my family had a blast. Highly recommended.
- Rimon (4/5): - Not clean
- CHRISTOPHER (10/5): - Kids had an amazing time.
- Yasnira (8/5): - We always have a good time at the great wolf lodge.
- Dean (10/5): - Area around the property was nice and clean. Our family had an awesome visit!
- Roberta (10/5): - Great place. Lots of fun. The only thing I didn't like was that we paid for parking in the garage, then after that, they told us about the in out parking. It would have been nice to know ahead of time.
- Masami (10/5): Best hotel - Best hotel I ever went!!! I wanna come back here with my kids again
- Rebeca (10/5): - Waterpark
- Nidia (10/5): - excellent
- Hagop (10/5): - Great park
- Evelin (10/5): Excellent - First time going with the family and we had a blast
- Maritess (8/5): - Great indoor activity!
- Marciana (10/5): - Lots of things to do
- Kenya (10/5): - It was our first time. Great experience. Staff is really really nice. We really enjoyed ourselves and we plan on booking again
- Zara (8/5): - Kids had fun, park was good could have been cleaner. The food is overpriced and horrible specially at the restaurant ( not the buffet) My husband paid almost 50 dollar for stake and mashed potatoes asking medium well. They brought the stake almost burned and dry. I wish they could upgrade their menu and add more healthy choices and paid close attention to how they serve the food. Staff are very friendly, caring and hard working l.
- Lilia (10/5): - Front desk is very informative, very nice and attentive. The water park is very fun for the all kids and where they can be entertained. Staff keep areas very clean. Love our stay here, can’t wait for the next time we visit.
- gilza marcia dos (8/5): - Great hotel with a lot activities for kids.
- Claudia (4/5): - Beware of unauthorized fees! They charged me for towels even after I return them. I was on hold for almost 2 hours trying to resolve the issue and I still haven’t seen the credit. It’s ridiculous! The rook itself was great. No complaints about that whatsoever, just the unauthorized fees that they snuck in ain’t cool at all!
- Armine (4/5): - Front desk was so mean, even the supervisor
- Robbie (10/5): - I was able to grab a great deal with Expedia. Hotel had a cheer competition going on but still felt spacious and water park had plenty to do.
- Amani (10/5): - The best
- Uyen (4/5): - After my family checked out,my husband remembered he forgot the glasses and airpod.and he came back to ask the staff.one of them contacted to housekeeping 's manager.she said the housekeepers just found the glasses. They didn't see the airpod but my husband always put the airpod and the sunglasses together.somebody took it for sure. I don't think we come back here again.unsafe place
- Juan (6/5): - Not what I was expecting but decent trip overall
- Rhymus (2/5): - Came into the room and there was a horrible smell. Vomit stain on the floor. That’s what it was. Pullout couch was pulled out halfway with some used sheets stuck behind the couch. Instantly, I called for a new room: none available. Asked for a refund and they said they can only give me 30%. Only a supervisor was there and they said they can’t make any decisions. I asked for a manager. There were none. I left and asked for a manager to contact me. Still waiting for a contact… it’s been 3 days.
- efreen (10/5): - Todo bien
- Luis (10/5): ASD friendly - Great location for families with children on the spectrum. My 4yr old had a blast and well as we did.
- victoria (10/5): - We had an excellent stay. The room was spacious and staff were great.
- Trisha (10/5): - Wish parking was included with the stay since we paid so much. Friendly staff, great food options. Different things for everyone !! Enjoyed the waterslides and water park ! Definitely recommend!!
- EDWIN (10/5): - My family had a lot of fun
- Rafael (10/5): - It was a great experience!
- mohamedjan (10/5): - Good
- Hector (8/5): - The style
- Maynor (10/5): - This place was an excellent stay! Kids had fun and us, the parents, did as well! Definitely coming back! Also, huge shoutout to Jorge in Guest services and Dexter! Excellent staff!
- Ivy (10/5): - Nice amenities
- Pardeep (10/5): - All nice
- Maria (10/5): - I tried to self-check in for our stay and avoid the long line but the system didn’t find my phone number. I had to get in line and they could not find my reservation, after almost an hour they said their system had a glitch when I reserved but they were able to give me the room paid for. Staff was very nice and helpful
- Tuesday Rayne (2/5): - During our short stay, we had to move rooms not once, but twice — staying in three different rooms total due to ongoing issues with the air conditioning. This was incredibly inconvenient and stressful, especially while traveling with a child who has autism and thrives on routine and stability. Despite seeing a technician and trying to resolve the problem, we were left uncomfortable and frustrated for the majority of our stay with the rooms getting up to 80° and the AC units blowing hot air. We booked through a third party, so we were not offered any form of compensation, other than free breakfast, which we feel is unacceptable given the circumstances. Jose A and Stephanie at the front desk seemed to be the only ones to be compassionate; one manager (on the night of the 9th) said “I see you live in Escondido” and suggested maybe we just go home, at 10pm with 2 children one with special needs, If that’s what we needed to do, after saying she wasn’t sure what the correct solution was. Unfortunately we will not be back and cannot recommend to anyone to go to this location.
- Ana (10/5): - The whole experience was great!
- jose (10/5): - Love it
- Arda (8/5): - Fun
- Shannon (10/5): - This was a great place
- Asia (10/5): - Check in was quick , everything was clean , staff pays attention
- JACQUELINE (10/5): - Good stay overall
- Jaspal (4/5): - The water park reason for us to visit, was super nasty, very dirty water. Staff remained unhelpful to help. We paid $35 for parking but the code we received never worked and we had to call support to exit and collect ticket to enter even though we had paid. Young contact the parking rep, he refused to help also and said there is nothing he can do and we don’t know how to use it. The bed had ripped sheet on it. Housekeeping started knocking the door at 9:30 in the morning and came opened the door from outside while I was busy taking care of my baby. They never released the deposit and took additional $169 which we don’t know the reason why. I called to verify but there phone lines were closed. Very bad. Very bad service and staff and quality of the hotel including the water park. Never going back.
- Michelle (10/5): - We are still here and are loving everything. So much to do. 10 out of 10. It’s our first time here and we are blown away at the amount of stuff to do
- Oscar (2/5): - The check-in was great But, as soon as I got to the room and the kids cabin, they were left over some underwear I did call the front desk. Nobody showed up, so I left them outside the door. Second time I called the front desk, kids bedsheets were stain with yellow marks. Third time I called the front desk. TV wasn’t working and they had to send an engineer at 9 o’clock at night. Didn’t take any photos didn’t think was necessary, but they were aware. And I wrote him a message as well, and they should have all the phone calls I did. To who it may concern. Thank you.
- Susan (10/5): Great Stay for the Kiddos - My children and I thoroughly enjoy visiting this establishment, as it provides an ideal setting for them to fully immerse themselves in water activities while I relax in the lounge chairs or take leisurely walks around the water building. The presence of a dedicated staff at the entrance ensures their safety and convenience. The water activities offered at this facility are extensive and cater to a wide range of preferences. These include beach wave pools, a surfing experience pool, slides, and more. We frequently visit this establishment to celebrate my children’s birthdays, as they always have the opportunity to create unforgettable memories.
- rosario (4/5): - Ask a question and get different answers. No body consistent on answers and procedures.
- oksana (10/5): - Excellent place to spend with family and friends.
- Ibrahim (10/5): - Great place
- Za (10/5): - We had a great time, rooms were great. Wish there were more activities and food options. We thought of leaving to dine out, but the parking garage was packed and we did not want to come back not having a spot. Great stay and the kids loved it.
- Judith (10/5): - Great shopping experience and great staff
- Abel (10/5): - Great
- Chao (10/5): - Nice place for kids and family having fun!
- Maria Katrina (10/5): - Great experience! Highly recommended. 👍👍👍
- Jessica (10/5): - The property was fun! Liked that they had water and non water things to do. Plenty of different pool areas. Room was nice and spacious. I think the only thing that I would like is for the parking to be a part of the hotel, not a third party.
- Selena (10/5): - Super fun
- Nicole (6/5): - The water park was great for the kids! The slides were super fast and they really enjoyed having so much to do! The nickel and diming throughout every corner you turn is crazy! Especially being a guest of the hotel. You have to pay to park your car, even Vegas usually validates when you are a guest. On top of that, the bowling and the golf costs extra as well. Don't forget to wait in line for 20 minutes when you are finished with your towels, because if ya don't that's $15! And what kind of buffet doesnt include drinks? $100 for 4 people for breakfast that was just ok. We would go back for the water park but will stay elsewhere
- Abel (6/5): - Outdated, needs some renovation’s.
- Jennifer Vida (10/5): - Property is clean. Lots of activities for kids
- Sakhoeuth (10/5): - Great for the kids. We had a wonderful time there.
- victoria (10/5): - The kids had a great time we loved it
- Dianne (6/5): Nice stay - The room was nice but the carpet is getting old and is very dirty. Then when we pulled the drapes back there something on them, and we didn’t want to know what it was! The pool area was clean, and well supervised. You just have to remember where you are when using the restrooms in the pool area. The lobby was very nice and well kept. Overall it was a nice stay a little pricy. One thing to be aware of if you’re on the 8th or 9th floors the elevators are very slow getting there in the morning.
- ANITA (6/5): - Parking was outrageous; 36.00 a night, and was not aware that if you want daily cleaning of your room you must ask for it, found that out on day 1 when we came back from the water park, no clean towels and the beds were still unmade, trash cans were full
- George (10/5): - Good
- Elisa (8/5): - We had a good stay. And it was comfortable. The room was great and roomy but the cleaning service can do better at cleaning the rooms and refilling the lotion. Our room had a big rip on the carpet and you can see wires. Maybe patch that area to look nicer. Otherwise it's a great fun stay for the family. Water park is great kids loved it.
- fariba (6/5): - The waterfall was good the room is old and the carpet was old .
