Guest Review of the Nickelodeon Hotel by Momof2boys17

Momof2boys17, visited February 2007

From Momof2boys17: Complete waste of money unless you're rich and don't care. I paid $200 for the 2 bedroom suite which wasn't really a suite at all. They charged an extra $20 for the night for transportation to the parks which I did not even need, but it's a required charge they claim.

Back to the "suite" as they call it. A complete joke. You're getting your average hotel room with the smallest kitchenette and the only separate room really is the master bedroom. The kids room is closed off by a curtain! I was expecting 2 bedrooms with doors. And a separate kitchen area...like a timeshare type thing.

Boy were we surprised! I didn't get to check in until around midnight due to my husband getting out of work late...and we requested the Jimmy Neutron room since Spongebob was even more money! That was a joke - they didn't even give me Jimmy Neutron, they gave us the Fairly Odd Parents, it was old looking, and my kids didn't even sleep in there.

The TV in there room was all fuzzy that they could barely see anything. I was so exhausted at the time so I didn't bother going back up to the front desk, but I did email them to complain about everything, TWICE, and they never bothered to contact me back. Guess they don't care about there customers.

Oh, and if you even think about sleeping in on your vacation, DO NOT stay here. You get awakened by there cleaning the pools every morning. That was the nicest part about the whole hotel, the pools, but we didn't even get to enjoy them because we went up to go to Sea World and thought the hotel would be a great place to stay for the kids. It was an overpriced place to sleep and I would never go there again.

The character breakfast was the best thing we got to do. The waiter we had was extremely pleasant, there were PLENTY of choices of food, the characters came to every table (make sure you bring your own camera because they charge an arm and a leg to buy there pictures)....but that was definitely the highlight of our stay at the hotel.

Thank goodness they let us in though because I made the reservations for 8:15 am and when I checked in the girl said my reservations were for 9:15...so I thought it was good that we would get to sleep in (which we didn't thanks to the pool cleaning)...but when we got there, they told us our reservations were not on the list for 9:15!!!

Oh...and parking at the hotel is outrageous. The check in girl told me where to park, we circled the area for 10 minutes, mind you it was after midnight so most people were in for the night...we had to park very far away from our room and we had 2 kids to carry asleep, and our luggage. It was very inconvenient. You would think for the money you pay to stay here, you would be able to either have a parking spot closer to your room, or at least a valet service or a bell boy to help you get there! WORST hotel trip ever!!!!
