Highlight of the vacation - posted on 07/28/2005
I took a 9 year old to Orlando for 5 nights. Unfortunately, our budget didn't stretch far enough to stay each night at the Nickelodeon Suites. If you ask my son what he enjoyed most on the vacation, before he mentions Universal, Sea World, beach visits, or anything else (except the Magic Kingdom) it's this hotel.
Fun in the sun - posted on 08/03/2005
We had a blast! No bed bugs, no bad service. The food was okay, definitely needs some improvement. My kids think I am the best mom in the world. The staff was excellent and extremely friendly. I would go back as soon as possible.
Great idea, terrible management! - posted on 10/17/2005
Do not stay at this hotel!! At one point we asked for an extra pillow; we cancelled the request at 10 pm and they actually tried to deliver at 4 am! When we complained, we did not even get an apology. This is just one example of the poor management at the hotel. On the plus side, the pools are great and the lifeguards friendly and firmly in control. I suggest you run, not walk, away from this hotel!
No Fun Here - posted on 10/03/2005
This hotel has the worse service of any hotel in the disney area. Long lines at check-in with terrible service. Parking was crazy with not enough spots for customers... Would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
Kids will enjoy it - posted on 09/28/2005
Our kids, 9 and 6, really enjoyed the room and the pool as well as the arcade. It is very convenient to WDW parks and close to dining and shopping. The only complaint was that when the place was busy (which was only one night), the parking was limited and, therefore, frustrating. We can't comment on the food or activities because we didn't utilize them.
Don't waste your money - posted on 08/24/2005
Dirty rooms, dirty pool, dirty public areas, food is terrible, carpeting heavily spotted, roaches in closet,stick to the floors in eating areas, very understaffed, LAZY housekeeping, poor transportation to parks, absolutely don't ruin your vacation by staying here, you can do way better for the money, we regret every day that we spent here.
not worth the money - posted on 08/24/2005
Very over priced. Service is slower than slow and food is terrible. How can you mess up hamburgers?
What a waste of a concept - posted on 08/19/2005
This place was a mess. The place is dirty, the pool blares loud music till 9 pm, the food in the buffett is terrible, and the staff isn't good. My kids love Nickelodeon, but this even turned them off. Great concept, terrible execution
this hotel ruining our vacation - posted on 08/17/2005
We are here now and hate it. If you have reservations, cancel them. Place is very dirty inside and outside, understaffed and lazy cleaning and food service personnel.
A very hard to please Mom was finally pleased!!! - posted on 05/29/2007
I visited the hotel in June 2005 with my husband and two kids then age 10 and 2. The youngest girl still talks about the hotel and wants to go back. The oldest child had a blast as well. The rooms were amazing.I am a big kid and I loved the feel of the hotel and the kidsuites. We were able to have the privacy of our own bedroom with the amenities of a hotel. Room service was excellent and kept all toiletries and condiments replenished. I cant wait to go back although I see the hotel has raised it's prices!!! 'They definitely need more deals!!
Best Hotel for Families - posted on 05/09/2007
We stayed here for a weekend a decided to come back & celebrate my girl's 4th birthday party. Everything was great, service awesome. I didn't have to decorate or clean. The most beautiful birthday for my little Princess. Even Dora came to congratulate my little one and her friends! Will go back again, very soon!
A wonderful family vacation - posted on 05/07/2007
This was our 3rd year returning to the Nick Hotel and we'll be back next year. Our 5 & 6 year olds can not get enough of the Nick Hotel...we never went to Disney. There is so much for the kids to do...its ALL about the kids and that's what we love about it! Everyone is friendly and its just a wonderful family experience!!!
Plan Ahead or Lose Out - posted on 03/08/2007
Reservations were a nightmare. We got 14 rooms and not a single discount from the hotel. If you wait until last minute you can get a great deal. They discontinued the free meals for the kids. The shows were very hard to book. You have to plan in advance if you want the whole experience. The rooms were great. The beds were hard as a rock didn't sleep well
Nick Hotel is Great! - posted on 01/07/2007
My family and I have yearly passes to WDW. This was our 3rd visit to this great hotel. Check-in is hassle free and the staff is always there to make you comfortable. We took a friend and his daughter this time and he was amazed how every single staff member will greet you from concierge to ground maitenance. Food in the court could be a little better. I have found the price of the character breakfast is worth it in order to gain a better menu. The hotel is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!! If you are a kid at heart though you will love it all the same. Recomend this resort highly.
Be Warned - posted on 12/31/2006
A total dissappointment. At $* a night, there is no value for adults and minimal for kids. Be prepared to pay for movies (10$ a movie), games etc. in the rooms even though they claim to cater to kids. Be prepared for a dirty room with broken furniture, broken drapes, an upcharge for anything kid related, and that even the kids will get sick of the "kid buffet." What an absolute waste of money - such a shame that the kids remember the lousy hotel conditions more than the disney parks!!
Awsome fun for all - posted on 11/27/2006
My family and I had the best time here. We went to visit the Disney parks, but also found this hotel to be a great part of our trip. Great for the price too. I would recommend it for any first timers..I may have to come back just to visit the hotel.
Clean,Comfy,Lots of fun!!! - posted on 11/13/2006
I took my kids ages 6&7 late Sept early Oct and we had the absolute best time. The staff were great, the lifeguards very alert, the place was clean and very safe and comfortable. Stay on the higher floors as the ground floor offers little privacy, and plan to go during the week as it's PACKED on the weekends,rent a car and enjoy some quality time.
Wonderful - posted on 10/22/2006
The hotel is nice, clean, weel organized, people are friendly, the room is excellent like a apartment, the pools are wonderful for children and adult, offer all meal full time. The hotel offer buses for all parks, all time delivering and returning.
Disney who - posted on 10/18/2006
From the checkin to the check out everything was aboutthe kids. They were happy we were happy. Will definietely return. The manager was great and everywhere. The only miised point was a lack of staff in many areas. The service was very good but with minimal staff.
Awesome Time! - posted on 09/11/2006
We loved this hotel! As an avid Disney fan, I've got to say I may stay at this hotel for our entire visit next year instead of just a few days. My kids loved everything about staying here. My husband and I found the food to be acceptable and reasonably priced. A few days is definately not enough time to enjoy this hotel to the fullest!
August in Orlando - posted on 08/21/2006
I was really impressed with the clenliness of the hotel room. There were many activities for the kids and many eating options.While the staff was extremely friendly it was difficult getting room service. This is an excellent hotel for the money.
Great for kids - posted on 08/03/2006
Nick Hotel was a lot of fun. We did ask to have our room moved to a higher floor because of the pool noise. They have activities during the day you can sign up for. They have a NickStudio where you can send your kids for several hours and then have an evening out. Character breakfast was good for lots of pictures. Lots of ways to spend money, of course. Guest services were very helpful in setting up activities. If we go again, I think I'd only stay 2 nights since once you've been there 2-3 days you've done all the activities they can offer.
I am already considering returning - posted on 08/02/2006
The food was not all that great. But everything else was pretty good. The kids loved the water areas and the karoake and face painting. I would definitely go again. It was a great experience.
Best Vacation Ever - posted on 07/17/2006
We loved this hotel! It delivered all that was promised, plus some, and we can't wait return next year for a longer stay.
WONDERFUL PLACE FOR KIDS - posted on 07/07/2006
We had an absolute wonderful experience, my kids literally loved this hotel, we could have stayed for 2 weeks and still not have been ready to leave, they had rather stay at the Nick Hotel than go to any of the theme parks, this vacation at this hotel is all my children talk about, we will definetely stay there again and again!!!!!
terrific - posted on 06/25/2006
wish i would have had more time stayed for 5 nights and loved every monent the total experience was well worth the money rooms were outstanding property very well kept and gated we wished we would have spent the whole trip on premises but had to do some park and the charater breakfeast is a must do
Great for Families with kids 12 and under. - posted on 06/08/2006
The Nick Hotel is the perfect place to stay for families with kids 12 and under (older kids will enjoy it too, but you may need to take them off the grounds for extra entertainment). My five year old liked this place so much, she preferred staying at the hotel more than going to the disney parks.
THE BEYT OF DISNET - posted on 06/04/2006
This hotel was a Terrific experience for the entire family...I dont know what they DIDNT have to do there! They kept the kids busy and we RARLEY had to lift a finger to entertain then!
Great fun but don't eat here! - posted on 05/26/2006
We booked this hotel as we have 4 kids, it was clean and well kept, the staff great the facilities although closed while we were there were very kid friendly. The rooms while clean were not serviced, in 6 days our linen was not changed and trash can not emptied. The food was very kid friendly, mac & cheese, hot dogs and what not. Loads of junk food. The kids loved it, my husband and I literally got sick. The shuttle service was very restricted. We wont stay there again. It is very family friendly but for a little more you could stay at a Resort.
Perfect compliment to an otherwise all Disney vaca - posted on 05/22/2006
We loved this for the kids. Make sure the staff is all there for the shuttles to the theme parks. Nice break from all that's Disney.
Family Fun Resort - posted on 04/20/2006
This was better than going to the theme parks. In fact, the daytime activities were great because it wasn't too crowded. The place only really got crowded at night when everyone returned from the parks. I only wish that the second bedroom in the family suites had a door, not just a curtain. Also, the breakfast buffet food would have been a better value if it was free, or if they improved the quality of the food. The selection was terrific, but the old potatoes, tough sausage and the powdered eggs were pretty poor.
Better Than Disney - posted on 03/25/2006
Absolutely LOVED it. Would make the 900 mile trip to Orlando just to stay here again. Didn't like Disney, but LOVED this resort. Room was fantastic and CLEAN; pools were amazing; food was not fantastic, but better than we expected .. many choices.
A great place for a family with children to stay - posted on 03/23/2006
The Nick Hotel is a great place for families with all age children to stay. Staying only one night wouldn't be enough to enjoy it all and the two swimming areas are like little water parks in themselves. A lot of attention is focused on making the children feel welcome and keeping them busy. Some extras at the hotel are a little pricey like the character breakfast but a fun place to stay and come back to after a day at the theme parks.
nickelodeon review - posted on 03/03/2006
hotel was fine. pool was awsome. however, the" 2 bedroom suite w/ kitchen" is not what you think your getting. one room has no door, kitchen is a microwave & fridge- no utinsils etc, one small bathroom.
Best Family Vacation - posted on 02/06/2006
We loved this hotel! stayed Jan. 29th through Feb.1, 2006. Our Spongebob bunkbed room was clean & comfortable. pools & waterslides were awesome. food & kids eat free program was good. did a character breakfast met spongebob, squidward, dora, coso & wanda. shows at night were great too. There was game shows &karoke and my kids loved them all. I would highly recomend staying at this hotel there is so much to do that you don't need to leave to go to any theme parks but if you do the hotel has free shuttles too. I rate this hotel with an A+++!
Best.. Hotel.. Ever! - posted on 01/29/2006
This place is great. The water slides are the best I've ever been on (I'm young lol), and my sisters and parents enjoyed it too. The activities are plentiful. The only thing that wasn't good was the food, it didn't taste all too good.
Great wait staff - posted on 01/29/2006
Took my 5 year old son here and he loved it! The pools, games and waitstaff were fantastic. Really kid oriented and aimed to please. Only problem was with front desk staff, they messed up our reservation and checked us out of the room 5 days early. They were very apologetic and fixed the problem quickly.
terrible stay - posted on 01/29/2006
went for a weekend arrived at 7pm.did not get a room until well after 11pm. told there were issues but not what they were. given a ticket to buffet dinner as a makeup. food was disgusting, buffet terrible food not even edible. it took us 2hrs just to get a table despite the fact that there were many empty tables. never told the reason for this either. arcade very disappointing, there are better arcades in the mall. pool was nice room ok but the price paid was way beyond what this experience was worth.
NICK HOTEL WAS THE BEST!!!!!!! - posted on 01/16/2006
My family had a blast here.We all loved the water slides. This is a great place for kids and familys.We thought it was the best hotel ever and we look forward to coming again this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good experince except the food - posted on 12/28/2005
The food stinks... It was cold, expensive and hard. My kids would not eat it. I do not recommend the so called free breakfast within nickelodeon. We never saw any prices for the food and assumed free meal for kids would be an inexpensive meal. Not so. They dont tell you any of this up front. My husband and I ordered omlets made by the cook in the buffet line and they cost extra,The food to say the least was gross. Our bill was $58.00 for 2 adult and 3 kids. The hotel pool is cool and staff very nice. Just eat any where else. Even Pizza Hut and A & W food was pre-prepared and very old.
Huh? - posted on 12/20/2005
I was somewhat apprehensive at the high cost per night. I soon found out that there are lots of activities for the kids included. Rooms clean, no bugs. Service was prompt. Food was tasty. Did have a mixup about room charges (double charges). KIds would rather be at hotel than Disney...cheaper too! We only stayed one night, but a overall good experience.
Vacation - posted on 12/12/2005
Hotel was wonderful. Room was terrific. Love the extra bed room with bunk beds. 3 tv's altogether. Spongebob show and karaoke was fun. Lots to do. Terrific Time! Breakfast not that good, Food wise.
LOVED IT!!! - posted on 12/05/2005
My grandchildren, ages 12 and 6 didn't want to go to the Disney parks because they were having so much fun at this hotel. To those who complained about the slow internet, slow elevators, etc., relax - you're on vacation. Lighten up. Our room was clean and the pools were fabulous. WE ALL LOVED IT!!!
Great Fun at Nick - posted on 11/07/2005
3 TV's & kids room, fridge and micro had many meals in-room. Little things wouldn't work, staff promptly remedy. Poolside music starts 9am is loud in room. Don't think you'll find as great pool area, large arcade, Nick shows, face painting, balloon art, and on-site character meals anywhere else. Used rental car as bus times didn't look good. This is a huge hotel with many poolside rooms. Hotel was sold out one night and could not tell it while using the hotel facilities. Slow elevator, stay low. Room internet service is cheap but didn't work.
Loved the pools...hated everything else! - posted on 11/07/2005
The pools were fantastic. Food, service, and value rate well below. For the money, I expected more. If you've ever done a Disney character meal, you'll be highly dissapointed. It doesn't even begin to compare.
Happy Time for the kids - posted on 11/03/2005
Kids really loved the place! Only the buffet food was a disappointment. The suites with a kid's room were large and had the right amenities. Service was quick and friendly, and problems were handled very quickly. Would return again, and recommend for anyone with kids. We found the room a better deal than a Disney moderate hotel.
Had a Blast! - posted on 07/15/2005
We had a great time at the Nickelodeon hotel.My kids just had a blast in the pool.The hotel staff was very nice.We would definetly be back.It was the best vacation...
bad spongebob! - posted on 07/09/2005
This was the worst hotel experience we have ever had between the dirty room, bad food and bad service I really don't know where to begin. The kids enjoyed the pool other than that this place stinks!
