Great Wolf Lodge Manteca
Awesome room, resort was very clean, grandkids had a blast playing all the activities, Heather made our check in super easy. We opted to eat offsite, food/drink at resort is very expensive and price point doesn’t even come close to matching taste or quality

This hotel has been newly renovated, so it's clean, and the staff are friendly, which is why I returned and would recommend it.
