And as at all Holiday Inns, kids stay free in parents' room, and there's free internet access in every suite.
Other features we liked about Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn:
- the pools are heated to a nice temperature
- endless pool towels are available
- lifeguards are everywhere
In sum, with the waterparks plus games and entertainment, the place is so much fun -- especially for ages 12 and under-- that many kids will vote to spend time here rather than in the theme parks.
A few cautions:
- teens may find the feel of the place too little-kiddish. (If you're booking a 2-bedroom and have a teen, be sure to get the twin beds, not the bunk-bed version.)
- Price point is on the high side; if your kids want to spend every minute at theme parks, stay somewhere else and save Nick Hotel for another trip.
- in peak season, pools and slides can get crowded; long check-ins, too. (Check visitors' comments for updates)
- there's no quiet space; Nick-fun, noise, and kids are everywhere.
Bottom line: there's nothing else out there like Nick Hotel; and if your kids watch Nickelodeon, you just might find they're dialling Reservations and handing you the phone, to book.
