"Everything"

"Bien"

Great Wolf Lodge Illinois

8/10 Good

"I definitely did not like the fact that I had to pay 20$ per day for parking after I spent over 1000$ for a few nights.another reason why I didn't give 5 starts is because there were barely any chairs to sit especially by the fire place u would think they would have chairs so ppl can sit around and enjoy it but theres absolutely no where to sit."

Staybridge Suites, Lincolnshire by IHG
