Many thanks to Lee Allport of My Sentiment ExactLee for providing this guest post!

“My son is the luckiest four year old on the planet, or at least he thought so on his recent birthday when we were invited to stay for two nights at the Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando, Florida. Talk about a fun packed few days! This hotel had so much to enjoy we didn’t want to leave.

We checked in the day after Jason’s fourth birthday, which was a Monday. The women at the check-in counter seemed excited to see us, and went out of their way to make sure Jason knew this was going to be a special occasion, and it was going to be all about him. They asked him about his favorite Nickelodeon cartoons, gave him a poster of the new Madagascar movie and basically treated him like royalty. From the beginning I knew this would be a trip to remember.

Based on Jason’s answer that SpongeBob was his favorite Nick show, we were placed in a SpongeBob Squarepants guest suite. SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward donned the walls creating a three dimensional feel that put you in the center of the cartoon. The room alone could have been an entire vacation. Bunk beds, flat screen TV’s and video games guarantee that no one will ever be bored. As a mother I appreciated the separate bedrooms that the two room suite had to offer. The adult bedroom has a formal door while the children’s room has a curtain that fully closes giving parents much needed privacy. The bathroom was spacious, with lots of storage space and enough room for two in the bathroom at all times. That is important, because as parents we know we never get to be in the bathroom alone.

We arrived in the evening, so first thing we did was head over to The Mall to check out the food court. The Mall is located inside the Nick Hotel complex and includes shopping, food and entertainment. This way you never have to leave the premises. The restaurants in The Mall are Barnie’s, SubWay, The Grill, and Pizza Hut. Each offers tasty and affordable options. If you are in the mood for a full service restaurant you can try the Nick Toons Cafe.

Also in The Mall you’ll find fun shops where your child can build their own SpongeBob Squarepants much like a Mr. Potato Head and buy all the Nickelodeon souvenirs your heart desires.”

Sounds like the Nick Hotel has really outdone itself with creating this out-of-this world experience for guests.
