The Bottom Line: Formerly the Holiday Inn Family Suites, this popular family-friendly all-suites hotel received an amazing Nickelodeon makeover.
What's Special About the Nickelodeon Family Suites: The first and only Nickelodeon-themed hotel in the world will delight kids with their own separate kid suites decorated with favorite characters like Spongebob Squarepants and Jimmy Neutron. Outside two amazing water parks, character breakfasts, activities and a 3,000 square foot arcade will keep the whole family entertained.
Description: "It's like Spring Break for tweens," my husband observed. Indeed, with characters, activities and shows designed to appeal to Nickelodeon's target audience of 5 to 15 year olds, this colorful (orange and lime green) hotel hits its mark. Even my preschooler forgot about the nearby theme parks the moment he saw the swimming pools. A buffet full of kid fare and a kids' spa add to the appeal. Or, in the words of a boy just outside our guest room window, "Hey! He-e-ey! I'm in Nickelodeon!"
Guest Rooms and Rates: Two- and three-bedroom suites with separate, Nick-themed kids' rooms furnished with bunk beds and video games. Two-bedroom suites sleep up to seven people (all share one bathroom) and have mini-kitchens; three-bedroom suites have full kitchens and two baths. Compare rates on Kayak
Kid-Friendly Features: The Nickelodeon Family Suites was designed around families, with just a few rooms set aside for couples. Kids 5 and under eat free.
