Nick Hotel is a massive resort. With 24 acres, 777 suites and half a million guest per year this resort sits in its own category.
We were recently invited to come and stay at Nick Hotel. While on our mini-staycation we had a party in the room with a few other bloggers and recorded a special segment for Orlando Tourism Report. Shelly from On the Go in the MCO and Teresa from Making It All Work plus CFLTop5’s Jen Vargas join Kyle and Ken for an in-depth discussion.
Then after our stay Ken and Kyle are joined by the rest of the OTR crew for some final thoughts on the hotel.
