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!
I’m so glad I was able to help! I’m always creating more tours and already have a lot. Here is my Disney resort playlist and my universal resort playlist: Disney - ruclips.net/p/PLvEFYYSuXsG5Pou1tzTZzd9jbAGbVlZgS Universal - ruclips.net/p/PLvEFYYSuXsG50vgJ71kCNMM-4mNjVYbIt
Ty for posting! Im an IHG member and booked this for next month. The mixed reviews have me questioning my stay. Truly your review is as I would have expected it to be. You are a great reviewer and love your attention to detail! Im staying in 2 bedroom suite. Doing split stay with all star music suite. Keep these other reviews coming, im watching and wanting them!
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.
@@heidiwilson5272 sorry to hear. I was staying 2 nights and i will ensure our room is as clean as can be before staying in it. Im an elite member so ill be a pain. Plus its a slow season so no reason to not have a clean room. Ill stay at hi disney springs next time.
Heidi I’m so sorry you had that experience! While definitely this hotel could use an upgrade/maintenance, I did not have that experience in my room or I would have said so in the video. But thank you for sharing your experience, it’s always great to hear another perspective!
Thank you so much Lori! As I said to Heidi, I did not have those problems in my room otherwise I would have mentioned it. The hotel is definitely dated and needs upgrading. I didn’t spend much time outside my room, but my room was clean.
@@heidiwilson5272 I stay here 3-5 nights every year and have for the last 10 years. Our room has been immaculate. No clue what in the world you are talking about!
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 also love those two resorts lol but as I said when you factor in the resort fee, why stay there when you can probably stay on property for the same price!
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
Thank you -- great video! ... i like how thorough you did with everything! I am looking to book but got scared with all the negative reviews ... but from what you shown, it looks really nice! Have you been back to this hotel since you posted this video? If so, was it still good to stay or did it go downhill?
I stayed there 19 years ago when it was a nick hotel. It was so fun and rhe theming was amazing even in the rooms. It looks really different and boring now.
@@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!
That place looks amazing Demi I've lived in Orlando for 20 something years and I've never been there before but I should go there next time I go back to Orlando🆒🆒👍👍
Wow, it has changed! Not many people there at all now thats it’s not The Nickelodeon hotel, I took my daughters there when they were younger and it was such a nice experience, we really enjoyed it so much, we took pictures with the characters at breakfast, they had hair braiding and crafts, it was such a fun hotel, pool side water shows and music the girls had a great time, thank you for sharing because I was wondering what happened to that hotel.
@@MagicalHijinx oh agreed! Too bad holiday inn Don't have a little mascot to represent the company. I mean dear Lord the name of the hotel chains called Holiday inn. Why isn't it not like Santa Claus or something?? Like a Christmas resort would actually thrive. Maybe like Santa's Vacation House by the Holiday Inn? 😂IDK I'm spit balling ideas. Lol
Lol well they wanted to be closer to universal because they had Nickelodeon studios, but this was what was available and ultimately it didn’t work out being so far from universal
For anyone still interested in this brand, there are two Nickelodeon hotels left, one in Mexico and the other in Punta Cana. I hate that I never saw the one in Orlando.
Sup Demi! As someone that grew up in the 80s watching Nickelodeon, It would’ve been awesome to stay there when it was Nickelodeon. However, now that it’s just another Holiday Inn, I think I would pass on it, but it’s still cool knowing what used to be there.
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!!
@@MagicalHijinx I watched it several times each stay, it was the main reason I went to the hotel, but my family was too chicken to audition for it. And this was a February, when no one was there. Our chances were very high we would get picked.
I’m afraid not. When they were in the process of ‘de-Nickelodeonizing’ the hotel, the time capsule was dug up and relocated to Nickelodeon’s then new facility in Burbank, CA.
Are things like laser tag “free” since there’s a resort fee? & how much is the hold that they put on your room after? We are thinking about staying here before our Disney stay in 9 days because Disney wasn’t available for our first two nights and I can’t decide 😅
Unfortunately not this one. Here are the ones that are: Drury Plaza - ruclips.net/video/1DPDw-09nXU/видео.htmlsi=rh3tFTXAO92xi_lt Holiday Inn - ruclips.net/video/9phrNA_Er6U/видео.htmlsi=idd2niwTzVYD4vh5 Hilton - ruclips.net/video/LQb5iTnAguo/видео.htmlsi=q3RulPRp0Yh_XYkr Wyndham - ruclips.net/video/noG4fMUVJRo/видео.htmlsi=ALaAbebmp1liIVAY
It’s a Holiday Inn, there’s no theme 🤣 but yes they need to update a lot of things and if it did have nice one cohesive theme it would be better. Like a theme you don’t need to license.
You know thats not a full size kitchen right? I have never seen anyone speak so positively of a horrible resort in buena vista. That place should be shut down and all the resort fee and the parking fee is an extra stab in the back for such a mediocre place to stay. That place makes visitors not wanna come back to disney.
It is the worst hotel, there were cockroaches and the hallway smells very bad, they need to renovate everything, the rooms in front of the pool are a little better👎

It’s about the same size of AOA. But half the price!
This is Craig Dennis did you have a nice holidays i watch your videos new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos have a great weekend👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Craig! I did have a lovely holiday season! Did you? And have a great weekend as well!
Great to see you back resort touring (it's been a minute)! I agree: would rather stay at POP or Cabana Bay...
💯! I also love those two resorts lol but as I said when you factor in the resort fee, why stay there when you can probably stay on property for the same price!
I was there in December. It is a good hotel STILL. Great for kids. 👍🏽 i was there when i was little too. ❤

You 🎸 rock! We loved this when it was the Nick Hotel 🏨
I’m so sad I never got to experience it!
They are building a new one in Orlando 😊
It used to be the nickelodeon hotel
Crazy right?!
I love the walt disney world thing
My wife and I watched this episode together.
It's a very cool hotel by Holiday inn. But we agree with a lot what you just said.
Yeah…maybe if they did some renovations and added a fun theme to really give a family a reason to go, I would have a different opinion.
@@MagicalHijinx oh agreed! Too bad holiday inn Don't have a little mascot to represent the company. I mean dear Lord the name of the hotel chains called Holiday inn.

Hershey’s Ice Cream is great. They are pretty big up here in Maine. I never knew until recently that it made it’s way down to Florida.
My in laws used to own an ice cream store by me in New York and they had hersheys ice cream! So good!
Those resort and parking fees are wild
Yup
Cool thanks for sharing Demi! Question- how did it end up that the Nickelodeon hotel was on Disney property?! That seems crazy! Lol
Lol well they wanted to be closer to universal because they had Nickelodeon studios, but this was what was available and ultimately it didn’t work out being so far from universal
I stayed there twice as a kid back when it was the Nick hotel.
Nice! So jealous!
Do the rooms still have nickelodeon characters or not
For anyone still interested in this brand, there are two Nickelodeon hotels left, one in Mexico and the other in Punta Cana. I hate that I never saw the one in Orlando.
Same
Good news a Nickelodeon hotel will open on the next 2 years which is 2026
Man I wish we could have a Nickelodeon. Hotel again! This one seems nice enough though.
They have in punta cana and Mexico now!
What’s the food prices like
Sup Demi! As someone that grew up in the 80s watching Nickelodeon, It would’ve been awesome to stay there when it was Nickelodeon. However, now that it’s just another Holiday Inn, I think I would pass on it, but it’s still cool knowing what used to be there.

@@avaristamps1769 Same 😭 A new Nick Hotel is supposedly being built on 192.
@@ShareaDreamComeTrue It’s probably going to be all new Nick characters. Say goodbye to Cosmo and Wanda ☹️
Do they do the live shows at the hotel
I wonder if they still have that "time capsule" in front of the hotel?
Omg I need to know!
I’m afraid not. When they were in the process of ‘de-Nickelodeonizing’ the hotel, the time capsule was dug up and relocated to Nickelodeon’s then new facility in Burbank, CA.
Use to be a Nickelodeon hotel and replace it with holiday in plus the new ones that open in Dominican Republic and Cancun
I am staying there now it is so nice and big
Have fun!
Are things like laser tag “free” since there’s a resort fee? & how much is the hold that they put on your room after? We are thinking about staying here before our Disney stay in 9 days because Disney wasn’t available for our first two nights and I can’t decide 😅
Yes it’s all included!
Can someone please tell me about the arcade? Can you use quarters?
Sorry not sure. They usually make you buy coins or a card.
Is it walking distance from Disney springs?
Unfortunately not this one. Here are the ones that are:

You only pay for it if you are parking!
@@MagicalHijinx thanks
How are they able to sell Disney and Nick merch in the same store ?
It’s no longer Nickelodeon
@@MagicalHijinx I know that but that there able to still sell both is weird to me.
I stayed there when it was Nickelodeon themed last time I was there was 2009
So jealous you got to see it Nickelodeon!
Hi, can anyone tell me about laundry cost’s please?
Sorry not sure!
Execelente video
Thank you so much 😊
Can this video make me feel like cheer up on here tomorrow magical hijinx
I hope it can!
Because im still not feeling well I think it will but do you know why I want this video to make me feel like cheer up on here tomorrow
whats your favorite song from 4 town? are you a 4 townsie?

This is sad because they didn't have nickelodeon hotel anymore
Very sad!

It’s a Holiday Inn, there’s no theme 🤣 but yes they need to update a lot of things and if it did have nice one cohesive theme it would be better. Like a theme you don’t need to license.
I see the nick jr channel on the TV playing peppa pig on this video on here today
its either a sandwich or a grinder. (yay new england slang!)
I think I’ve heard of that!
@@MagicalHijinx New england slang is dumb lol. like whats a grinder? Ik its a dance but why would you name a sub after a dance? I dont understand ugh.
It used to be good now its kind of ghetto. If you are on a budget it works
The fee, the fee, the fee, way too many fees
True
