Drytown Holidays from NZ$2,058

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

The pool is not as big as I thought it would be but that’s the only downside!

The rooms are nice and clean and big. They even have a game room and happy hour.

We visited the hotel with our kids for a Disney trip and really enjoyed it. The staff was great- friendly, helpful and very attentive. The rooms were clean and nice and we enjoyed the overall ambience of the hotel. It’s a fairly easy walk to Disney through the mall and across the street (we clocked .9 miles from door of our room to the Disney front gate). It’s also easy to uber from Downtown Disney or the front of Disneyland if you’re tired (about $10). We were able to see the fireworks from our room also. We used our daily resort credit at the café downstairs for Starbucks drinks and breakfast food which was convenient. The only cons are that only valet parking is available and it’s very expensive ( $~70/night), and they also charge $60 per night to guarantee connecting rooms, which we needed with kids, which we’ve never paid for at other hotels. But once we were there, it was a great experience.
