greyhound tickets: I hear the nickelodeon hotel is super expensive...is it worth it? I have a 4 yr old son and 12 yr old daughter|||We stayed for a long weekend in March with two 13 year olds and had a great time. It was two moms and two 13 year old girls, american express travel had a great deal for this hotel where if you stayed 2 nights the third night was free. Pay attention though as there is a $25 per day resort fee added to the nightly rate. Even with this, the overal rate was still very reasonable. The location is convenient; 15 min from the airport, close to the highway, 1 mile from Disney and 15 min from Universal. Check in was quick and efficient. It is a relatively large complex and if you come back after 10 you may night find parking in front of your building but there is plenty overall. The room has a living area with pull out couch, refrig and micro, small bedroom with bunk beds and larger bedroom with a queen, 3 tvs and a bath. Very comfortable and clean. There are 2 large pool areas with water slides. One pool was closed part of the day while we were there because a toddler "guest" had an accident in the pool. The staff was efficient in getting everyone out and treating the pool. (If you child is not fully trained or just recently trained put a swim diaper on them). I thought our 13 year old would be way past going to character breakfasts etc but they loved it. The food was good and at $18 per person a little expensive but not bad considering the entertainment and food. (Also with AMEX we received a $50 resort food credit) so it was fun and worth it for one morning. Overall we had a great time, hotel was convenient, clean and had good amenities for the price. Would stay there again.|||I've heard mixed reviews about the Nick Hotel. It's definitely more expensive than other neighboring hotels, even with their special offers. They have a shuttle to the major local attractions, but they haven't been affiliated with a theme park for years - so no line perks/early entry there. The most complaints are in regard to overall appearance (wear and tear), and poor customer service - but that's sadly true of almost all family hotels these days. The food available is what you'd typically find at an airport - chain store, overpriced, not the best quality. But, the activities available are specifically geared toward different age groups, so both your kids should be able to have plenty of fun during their stay.|||I have never been to Florida, but it sounds like Nickelodeon Hotel is a themed Hotel and my experiences with theme hotels is that they are definitely more expensive then their non-themed counterparts. Other hotels in the area are sure to be less expensive, unless your kids are set on the Nickelodeon Hotel. You might have to bite the bullet and have fun.|||Hello This can help you to find nice hotel deals.we can check and compare current hotel prices along with reviews at “hotels combined” ------------------- Besthotelbookingguide.com ------------------- good luck!......|||Depends on how much money you have.
