Great Wolf Lodge?? is it worth the $$$$

And besides, who wouldn't want to see grazing buffalo when you look out your balcony window in the morning? true

That would make it worth it for us! The Poconos one has bad views from most of the lodge, even though it's surrounded by woods. The entire front half overlooks the parking lot, while half of the back overlooks the outdoor pool and the resort road. The other half looks out at the woods and the service road. Last time we had 4th floor woods/service road (yay!), but this time we 4th floor parking lot. It was interesting to watch the traffic patterns!

I hate to share this, but there is an elevator at the end of both wings. If your room is far down the hallway you're better off using that elevator than the main one, which is always crowded with people/luggage/magiquesters. It was like having our own private elevator.
