My family and I have been coming to Great Wolf Lodge for a few years.. this would be our fifth or…read moreso in the past two years. The location is very easy to find. One thing new is the parking gate that blocks cars from entering. This was our first time seeing it and it got us confused for a little bit. My wife drove this time, and she thought we had entered the wrong entrance or an employee entrance. We were, however, in the correct location. We arrived around 2pm, which was a few hours prior to check in time. The loading aisles were full of cars and there was a lot of people checking in. There were a few mobile check in kiosks... but there were also some actual staff members whom you also had to check in for other things like getting a parking pass. This was very confusing and annoying. However, it was a little more efficient verses having to wait in line. The kiosks printed our wrist bands. We were able to verify which would have access to the rooms and which would have access to pay from the wrist band. That was a very convent to have... however, we made the mistake of putting in on our right hand. This made leaving the parking lot harder. However, it made opening some of the room doors harder... I don't know which is the correct method because some were easy on the right hand.. .but others were difficult. My room was not ready when I finally checked in. So we went to the arcade. There were plenty of machines which a huge variety of games to pick from. Also, there was a burger joint nearby so we ate there while we waiting for our rooms to be ready. During that meal, I got a text that my room was having issues so to visit them at the front desk. Keep in mind they do a great job of communicating through text messages. All my messages were responded in an adequate amount of time. Once my room was ready... it was big. We got an extended room which a separate living space with a barn style door. It allowed our daughter to sleep while we were able to not disturb her. And when we went to bed too...we could open that barn door. Keep in mind, we brought out own inflatable bed for her. Only downside is that this configuration only has 2 queen beds instead of a king. However, I did enjoy having my own bed again. The room was clean, but was very old. There were a lot of slightly damaged equipment and it felt a little musty and old feeling. There were a good amount of outlets around the bed but some of them were so old that either plugs weren't able to hold in place or your devices were not charging fast enough. The water park itself was very nice. It was heated with a heated water. This was appreciated since the outdoor temps were 0 degrees or colder. However, we could not tell while in the water park. There was a nice section for little babies and toddlers. And they had a separate giant splash pad area for older kids to run around and up/down. We loved the lazy river. Overall, despite some comments of how bad this place is. In reality... look at the price, and I am not sure why people are expecting 5 star resort feeling. It fit the bill and we had a great time. Our room was old but it was clean. We would be back in the future.

The space itself is super clean, modern, and open -- the high ceilings make a huge difference and it was easy to bring our vision to life. What really stood out was how easy the whole process felt.

I don't know if the mezzanine is original but it's a cool way to get extra space without separating people. Staff has always been outstanding and their prices are quite reasonable.

The interior has been left with it's original white marble and it is beautiful! There is also a second level balcony. I don't know what it was used for when this housed a bank, but for events, it is set up as an additional dining area with tables for 4. I've been twice now, both times for private dinners. There must be a small kitchen in the back, or a decent sized prep area, at the very least. The area that would have housed the original teller stations has been turned into a bar area with limited selections: about 6 tap beers, a couple of wines, and a few liquors (whiskey, rum, tequila and vodka) along with soda. There is no proper parking lot for this building itself, but there is a very large public parking lot behind the whole block, and there is street parking as well. The Branch is the perfect spot for the monthly dinners that I have attended...not too big and not too small. Cozy, but spacious. It would be the perfect spot for an anniversary party or to celebrate a milestone birthday. I look forward to returning for another dinner and, possibly, a party? 41/2018

Picture a church basement and that will set your expectations to the right level. We were warmly greeted by every employee we encountered. We were solely there to try the fish fry which seems to get a lot of attention on social media. The fish was good as were the fries. I would definitely come back for it. The fish sandwich was served a massive roll which was a bit much. I would put Pat's on my Lenten fish fry rotation. I am sure it gets incredibly busy. They do have take out so that is an option.

Of the options I had bookmarked that I had never been to, Pat's Oak Manor was my choice that day. I went with the all you can eat beer battered cod and potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were stellar. While not crispy, they were mostly firm on the outside, so they stayed together pretty well, and the flavor on the inside was an array of potato, onion, and spices. I made a good choice and they make a good potato pancake. The beer battered cod was good, though the third piece on my initial plate was getting a little soggy on the bottom by the time I got to it due to the grease in the breading. The rest of the fish I got during my meal didn't have that problem. I was impressed with how quickly they were able to get additional plates of cod out, although I would have preferred the option of more than only two pieces at a time. Even though the banquet hall was getting full and I only saw three people waiting tables, the person waiting on me seemed to be pleasant and in good spirits. I didn't catch her name otherwise I would shout her out specifically.

The pavilion makes for a great venue. Their main hall is vast (I'd imagine it can fit a solid 150/200 people), and it overlooks the lake. It's definitely more of an old, vintage type vibe inside. The ceiling is really beautiful curved wood too. I thought the staff did a great job serving this big event - all wonderfully kind and it seemed like there weren't any hiccups. I believe Saz's is the catering partner of this venue, and they did a great job. The outdoor beer garden space was wonderful too. Tons of picnic tables, a huge bar, and lots of sunshine to soak up on the beautiful day that it was. When you're in the beer garden area, you can get an even better view of the lake anddd the city skyline. Overall I'd say this is a delightful venue for events!
