Our family just got back from the Nick Hotel. We stayed there 9 days. The kids (age 8 and 11) loved the hotel. The pools and slides are a waterpark in itself. The staff was so friendly and courteous. Everytime I turned a corner someone was saying hi. This is definately a kid hotel. We have previously stayed on disney property at the Wilderness Lodge a few times. I would have to admit that I prefer to stay on disney property just for the convenience of transportation and such. The Nick Hotel was very clean everywhere - I was impressed by that - seeing that there is soooo many kids around. It was also nice to have the extra space in the hotel room since there is a small living room and kitchen area-that did come in handy. Overrall, I would recommend this hotel if you have children. It is a nice hotel to add to a disney trip for a change. The kids loved swimming here after a long day in the parks. They NEVER complained once.
