Had a great time with the family! Super clean with staff being friendly and accommodating. The lodge needs a fitness facility or onsite gym. Found it odd there was nowhere to exercise.

A great deal for our family of 4 of under $200/nt, less than nearby hotels that couldn't offer the waterpark. That said, I wouldn't pay much more to stay here and advised our local family not to bother paying the daily price for the waterpark. It's very small for the $50-70 entry price tag (day of week drives price). So we opted for attractions at the mall of america when our family came into the city. As expected, everything on the property is pricey and they charge daily for parking. Rooms are dated, not very inviting but with so much going on in the area, it provided a convenient place to sleep. Overall, if the price is right, I highly recommend! Note, this was our first GWL experience so do not have other properties to compare.

I paid the hotel because my kids wanted waterpark. The price is not cheap and I expected that parking lot is included but I had to pay for this. Also I noticed that hotel charged me two significant sums except damage deposit. It costed me time to speak with staff and they ensured me that money will be returned and after few days they returned me not authorized payments but I lost around $20 on currency rate as I'm from Canada. If it didn't happen I would rate this hotel better but this is spoiled my mood, especially wasted time for figuring out

It was an extremely painful check-in waited in line for over 45 minutes to get checked in. Then the next day I was interrupted while I was showering for house cleaning which they thought I was checked out, but my reservation was still for two more days.

The maintenance man stood out the most even though the property itself and staff were awesome. The particular staff member went over and above for us. The downside or maybe more of a note is that the entire property does not accept cash! You must buy a prepaid credit card on site even though the one machine in lobby was not working.

Just OK
Not great. Much smaller than one in Lake Geneva. Everything had set, limited hours like the dunks donuts, ice cream shop and waterpark which was limiting and annoying. Maybe that works better for families with younger kids. You have to walk through the area with arcade and other activities to meet water park, so kind of a long, cold walk back to your room after swimming. There are very few places to just sit in common areas of the hotel, service is really, really slow at coffee shop and front desk never seemed to have anything you tried to ask for. The upside is the staff is all really polite and they do a good job keeping everything clean. I don’t think will go back, we have the similar venues that we prefer.

We planned our annual roadtrip vacation this year to visit the Mall of America. When I saw there was a Great Wolf Lodge so close for around the same price as other hotels in the area, I knew this would take our vacation to the next level! We have taken many trips to GWL in the Poconos and love it. The Bloomington location lacks some of the “wow” factor of the Poconos and looks run down. No hot tub. Small wave pool. Not even slides. The slides we rode were a lot of fun though. I had the best cheeseburger in the restaurant and the buffet breakfast was fabulous with a great selection and hot and fresh. Definitely a good stop but not as great as I expected.
