Nickelodeon Family Suites

Great for Visiting Disney, Especially with Larger Family

I had a conference in Orlando recently, and the family, of course, wanted to come with me. Disney properties tend to have very small rooms and do not fit a family of two adults, two kids, and a small baby very well. The rooms at the Nickelodeon Family Suites were spacious, containing a large living area with kitchenette and a pull-out sofa-bed, and the kids have their own Nickelodeon themed room for themselves. The hotel had a small food court, arcade, buffet restaurant, and bar, giving you some different choices if you're confined to the grounds for a while. The pools are more like small water parks, and the equipment is geared toward younger children. Unlike some of the other reviews, I had no problem with room cleanliness. Our room was spotless upon arrival, and the maid service cleaned the room very well during our stay. On the downside, the Starwood Resort guest services people are VERY pushy about selling their vacation club. They're pleasant, but insistent, and the lecture about it from multiple people is downright annoying. Also, the parking lot security is very inconsistent about checking wristbands before opening the gate. I was there for the conference, so I didn't wear the wrist band. I got in and out of the gate for two days before I got stopped by a guard, and he was angry that I didn't automatically show the wrist band. Just an annoyance. Also, the bed in the adult room is advertised as a queen, but it has to be a double. It's just slightly small for two people, and it was a little uncomfortable, but not terrible. Also, the ironing board and iron in our room was broken. Last negative -- waiting for the one-elevator-per-building can be VERY time consuming during peak hours. Trying to get downstairs with a lot of luggage can find yourself waiting in the hallway for six or seven elevator interchange cycles with people heading down to the pool while maid head up to the other floors. Waiting for an elevator empty enough to drag in all your luggage can

Ok

I was pleased with our stay at the hotel. The deal breaker for us...unable to have guest visit you at the hotel. We had friends staying in Orlando from South Carolina. They would have had to pay $15 to park at the hotel and they could only sit in our room. They were unable to play or swim with our girls. That was a huge deal breaker. If we would have known that we would have not stayed there.

Good with kids.

Greta to be with kids up to 10 years old.

Great Family Hotel

The hotel was very nice. It's a great hotel for family and kids. The hotel staff was very helpful.

Great for Kids.

My kids had a great time. Spent 8 hours a day at the pool and water slides. Food is poor not many choices. There are no other restaurants close. To order take out pizza you have to walk out to the gate to get it.

Big room, good price, awesome pool

We loved our kidsuite! It was wonderful to have a separate bedroom, a huge full kitchen, and even a huge bathroom! We were used to squeezing into a 1-room hotel room where you would have to turn sideways to walk by the beds and try not to wake anyone up because the sink was near the beds. Not here! There was room to roam, and then some!! We even had a separate 3rd sink with a vanity mirror, so you didn't have to wait if someone was in the bathroom! Even though we had a fully equipped kitchen (bowls, plates, pots, pans, utensils included!), we only ended up using the microwave. The huge refrigerator was SO much better than the little rinky dink ones at other hotels and we were able to fit all our waters and kids stuff nicely. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable. The towels probably could've used more fabric softener, but they gave you so many that you never had to ask for more! The kitchen was also clean and the flatscreen TV was a nice touch. We did see a huge roach one night that totally freaked me out, but I had to remind myself that the door to the rooms led right to the outside and we are in the tropical region of Florida! We told the front desk about the roach and she apologized, but I felt like we should've gotten a little more sympathy. We didn't have any problems with rude workers, but some were definitely much nicer & perkier than others. That's one major difference between this hotel and a Disney hotel is that EVERYONE at Disney hotels has their nice gameface on. But like I said, there was no one who was rude. The pool area is awesome and my 4-year old son's favorite part of the whole trip, even more than the parks! We loved that it is a beach-style pool that you can just walk into instead of having to walk down stairs or a ladder. That really helped with my 1-year old daughter who can come in and out as she pleased. The slides were really cool, but my son couldn't go down all of them because he wasn't tall enough. We'll definitely stay h

Kind of Shop Worn

My daughter loved this hotel. We thought it was a bit worn out. The rooms were really nice, but the ammenities could use some TLC. The pool was not heated as advertised and was quite cold. The elevator had tiles missing from the floor. The mall looked like it had seen better days.
