[@birdie8006]

​@@mikaeruu0309 There could be a lot of demand in California or Florida, I think. Sanrio stores already grab a lot of interest. Americans enjoy Japanese culture and Nintendo is a big household name here. There's a Nintendo Store in New York City (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDSe3R7fN-jf5o&ab_channel=NintendoCadeGaming) and maybe if they branched out they could garner the appropriate interest in a small resort or kids' place, but Nintendo promotes gaming for *everyone*. Their target audiences are people 6 to 30 years old probably.

My parents gave us the choice between the Nick Hotel and Disney when I was 8 or 9. I picked the Nick Hotel, and my brother agreed, because we were Nicktoons kids, and honestly? I don't regret it that much. Sure, going to Disney earlier could've been fun, but I ended up going to Disneyland for my senior trip later on, so it's not like I missed too much. However, if I had chosen Disney instead, that would've been it. I could've never experienced the Nick Hotel, since it ended up closing, and it honestly probably wouldn't have been as fun for an older kid anyway. I loved the Nick Hotel as a kid!

Leanne Deetz Good point. Since I was five my parents would take me to Hershey Park every summer. For a majority of the times we stayed at the The Holliday Inn Express. A few of the times we ended up in the same room. Recently when we were there, we came home from dinner to find ants all over the tv stand, a solo cup that had a drop of my grape juice in it, my moms licorice that she left open and the beds. We asked room service to get rid of the ants the next day via calling the front desk. My dad was still in our room showering and my mom and I headed down to the kitchen for breakfast and mom asked the lady at the front desk if they will send someone to get rid of the ants while we were at the park, and the lady said that there is someone up there now yet we were just up there and my dad was in the shower. We came home from the park at around 10pm and there were still ants all over the room. And the most annoying part, were on the third floor and that is a room we ended up in at least twice. In conclusion, DON'T TRUST HOLLIDAY INN.

@@froggers8945 One time I was transporting this massive casket spray (a big arrangement you lay over the casket) and 2 bouquets to a funeral home. Usually I don't actually go inside the funeral homes, just to the loading dock. I unloaded the casket spray in the usual place and opened up the packaging, revealing some brown leaves and bruised petals- I'll prune them later, I told myself. When I got back to the drop off area with the other bouquets though, the casket spray was gone. So I freak out, like did someone steal it? I had to find it or my boss would kill me. I closed the loading dock door and headed into the funeral home. I knew the funeral director was somewhere around, and that I was in the area that guests weren't supposed to go. I was a sketchy looking high schooler so I was worried that I'd get in trouble because I was too awkward to explain what I was doing back there- I just wanted to see if it was put a bit further inside, no talking if possible. I prowled around, trying to avoid the funeral director and to find the damn casket spray. I found it: on the casket. That was a relief, now I could prune off the ugly shit. But when I got close to the casket I realized that it was open, and poor Elsie (I remember her name because I wrote a condolence card from someone who sent the family a bouquet earlier that day) was lying there, clutching a rosary, looking very stern and very very dead. Ok, I thought, This is creepy. I'll just pretend she's not there and prune the leaves I guess? Is it disrespectful to prune a bouquet directly over a corpse? No choice. I got to work aaaaand a leaf promptly dropped into the casket, directly on her face. I swore and considered just leaving it there- is it more disrespectful to leave a leaf on a corpse's face or to take it off? Maybe I could just... blow it to the side so that nobody could see it? I really didn't want to reach into the casket... Well, sucks to be me, again I had no choice. So looked around to see if any family members or the funeral director were around to yell at me- clear. I reached in (and if I was worried I'd be too awkward to explain why I was in the funeral home before, imagine how anxious I was to explain why I was elbow deep in a casket) and grabbed the leaf. I couldn't do it without touching her face- upper lip to be exact. Squishier than I expected. I did a couple circles around the casket to make sure I got all the ugly leaves and stuff off and then booked it out of there. The funeral director was actually in the loading dock. He gave me a pleasant wave, and I responded with a curt "hey" and then I fucking left lol

Funny story. Years ago I was in Florida at a business conference and my parents decided to fly over so we could all go to Disney world. My mom was in charge of booking the hotel. She booked THIS hotel. She had no idea what Nickelodeon was, so driving up to Jimmy Neutron's giant head peering down was quite a shock. When we checked in the lady asked if there were any children. You can imagine the look we got when we said no. My mom thought she was booking a two-room suite. My "room" was the bunk bed kids room with a curtain for a door. Three grown adults with no children at the character breakfast buffet was pretty hilarious. We ended up doing the 4D show and getting slimed, though. She has never lived it down lol

That’s incredible, I can’t imagine what the conversations were like with the characters. Hi bubble guppies I have no clue who you are

i remember going here and my little brother shat on the slide, shutting the whole pool down we still tease him about it occasionally to this day lmao

[@Vananynana]

Maybe you were there the same time as the other commenter who said the pool was closed because a kit took a dump in the pool? 😄

I stayed there for my tenth birthday in 2006. The ads for the place really got to me, and I was desperate to go there for months before it opened. I don't remember it super well, but I made it to both of the pools, got slimed (I remember being disappointed that the 'slime' was just green water, and clearly not the stuff from Figure it Out and the like), and spent a lot of time at the arcade. The first day we got there, me and my brother saw some lava lamps available as prizes in the arcades. They were some of those thousand-ticket prizes no one ever actually gets, but we both wanted them, so we made a pact not to spend any of the tickets we won at the arcade on anything else. You need to understand, for a ten year old, that is a trial. There were a lot of temptations, but I knew I was only going to get that lava lamp with all the tickets I would get during my time there, so I used all of my willpower and finally managed it. I bought that lava lamp on the last day I was there, and I still have it now.

Our son BEGGED us to stay there in 2010. The rooms were musty, wet carpet, smelly, small and gross. The reception on the TVs was like something from 1960...SO BAD! The pools were nice, the show where they slimed people was kinda cool, there were a lot of characters running around to take pics with. The food at the resort was TERRIBLE and over-priced and so was the service. It was like a Motel 6 experience compared to Disney. Our youngest son was 8 and enjoyed it. We stayed in the Sponge Bob room. Our middle son was too big to fit in the bunk beds and ended up sleeping in the living area. I slept on top of the covers with my clothes on. It felt like something was biting me the entire time.

[@villainessy]

Delisa Richardson That sounds horrifying lol. Funny when you’re a kid everything is awesome you don’t notice the shitty things in life because you haven’t existed long enough to have a frame of reference.

I remember going here as a kid for a girl scout trip in like 2009. The general vibe I remember was that the kids room themes were not updated at all... like they still had rugrats/danny phantom/my life as a teenage robot rooms when these shows ended years before. or at least taken out of primetime cable slots for kids, so you could only see it at night. i feel like if your target audience are kids between 5-10 years old, why would they be interested in something that ended when they were like 2-5 you know? and probably haven't seen or remember the shows? also could be that I was a salty 9 year old who didn't get the a:tla themed room lol

[@dtxspeaks268]

I mean, the hotel had pics of Rugrats, Chalkzone, Hey Arnold, Rocket Power and WTB, which are all shows from the 90s-2004.

[@TheMemeMaster2011]

This is also something I would agree on, even if I do love classic nick, I feel like they were too dated, hell why the f##k did they put up pictures of rocko in a repaint they had in like 2013, when his show was basically the first Nicktoon to be cancelled

there’s nothing to update them with Nickelodeon has nothing except nostalgia for millennials
