Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites Waterpark (Old Nickelodeon Hotel!) Resort & Suite Tour & Benefits
My childhood dreams have come true, I am finally staying at the Nickelodeon Hotel!!!....except I'm a little too late. Once a Holiday Inn and then the famous Nickelodeon Hotel now once again a Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites Waterpark is a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor hotel located on Disney property. In the video I will explain what that means and the benefits you get. I am taking you around the entire resort. I tell you all the benefits you get when you stay here, show you all the amenities like mini golf, the movie theater, the laser challenge, all the dining, and of course the waterpark! I will also you a 2 bedroom suite that sleeps up to 6 people and has bunk beds. Let me know what you think and let me know if you ever lived my dream and got to stay here when it was still Nickelodeon!

As a family of 4 planning a visit later this year, this kind of video is INVALUABLE. Mentioning the free shuttle almost immediately, and then having the little side-screen with an explanation that you need to book it but you get a code to make it free is EXACTLY what I needed to see. The full tour and the map included....oh my goodness, this is the in-depth information that people from outside the US need to see to make informed decisions. Would you mind visiting every resort with this kind of video LOL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Today is the 18th Birthday of the Nickelodeon holiday inn hotel. I remember going to the hotel when I was 8, staying in one of the character rooms Which was Jimmy Neutron and Danny Phantom, when I had saw they had a PlayStation with the TV it was a moment that I will never forget.

I stayed there with my family when it was the Nick Hotel back in 2013. It appears to have the same great recreational features as it did when it was the Nick Hotel, but obviously lacks the onsite character visits, which were a nice plus. I recall that the suite was large and a fraction of the cost of a suite at the Art of Animation Resort. Finally, the location is outstanding, basically the closest hotel to WDW, along with the World Center Marriott, at the Epcot Center Drive entrance.

I was just there in December for one night after staying at All-Star Movies for a week. Beware that in person this hotel is more run down than it appears on video and in my opinion, is very dirty and needs a deep clean. Our room smelled horrible of mold (our belongs smelled when we left) and was so damp it felt like the sheets and bedding was wet. The couch bed smelled terrible as well, like wet, dirty, dog. I spilled a little water on the floor of the living area of the room and wiped it up to find the floor was absolutely filthy. Had we been staying more than one night I would have been extremely disappointed. The only good thing was the layout of the room and the staff were very friendly.

I went there for spring break 2022 and I remember telling one of the slide lifeguards that the place used to be the Nickelodeon hotel. She told me that she went there before it got rebranded. Also one day when it was raining I went outside to the side of the building and saw some Nick characters hidden in the white pieces near the top of the doors

@@bellillechery2761 I'll tell you, the swim play area for the kids was really nice for them, but, the heater in the pool was broken and they weren't excited to fix it(of which they never did) 😒 And, we ended up swimming at the regular pool that was heated(not broken).. the resort is run down. My 4yr old and i were walking past the kids pool to go to the cafe for breakfast and were literally followed (fast) by some punk who had ideas of who knows! Suddenly another family came around the corner, and the punk ran away. So just watch your kids and things. Other then that, the food was ok at the cafe buffet, but the food at the food court was maybe better.. the regular pool was nice but run down. The housekeeping never came. We had to call for them and seek them out for replenishment of regular items. They were supposed to clean every 4th day, that was not the case. Honestly, for the money, you're better off taking your family to Punta Cana for a week. It's much better!

I clicked on this SO FAST, I can't believe you went to the "Nick Hotel"! I'm freaking out! I was an 80s-90s Nickelodeon kid, and when I got to stay at the Nick Hotel all my childhood nostalgic dreams came true. It had Double Dare, the Nickelodeon time capsule, SpongeBob character breakfast, private slimings ($40), story time with Dora, pizza with the Ninja Turtles, a kid spa, SpongeBob 4D experience, NickToons wallpaper in the suites, Blue's Clues chair, and the mass sliming at the pool. So awesome!!
