A few things they don't mention, but should:

- The breakfast buffet is mediocre in the extreme. It used to be wonderful.
(Their bakery was straight out of the freezer. Their eggs were vulcanized.)
- The room we rented (for the 4 of us) was $179 per night, and was smaller
than the living room in most of our suites.
- The $179 room had a 2-cup coffee maker, and no fridge. 2-cup coffee
makers should be against the law.
- The airport is unstaffed.
- Everything on-site has Chicago prices. I paid $8 for a drink.
- The indoor water park is great, but pricey. $21 per person, per day.

Grand Geneva was a nice little winter getaway, but for the price it's
probably not worth the trip. For basically one day of fun at a waterpark,
we paid well over $400. (Not counting the flight!)

Ouch! That's worse than Mackinac. Wife and kids are heading to the Dells
next month for some inside water fun.
