"The facility was very cleaned. The location was wonderful. Staff was helpful. The only negatives were the facility was a bit on the older side and some small maintenance items were needed. We are planning on staying there again next year."

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay in 2026 however, charging $20 per day to park in your parking lot that was built for your customers is ridiculous. We didn’t have this parking fee the last time in 2025 we stayed at your great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan. This is the first time we’ve ever been charged to park at any lodging where we’ve staying. Totally unacceptable plus get rid of the kiosk machines that are not very customer service friendly. That is not a great way to be greeted when you come in by a dumb machine that you need to have an employee standing there walking you through it. Go back to the counter and greet your customers the way customer service is meant to be. Totally cheap way to run your business. It may save your lodge money, but it’s not customer friendly and now that’s what I remember about your lodge"
