QuikQuote: Nickelodeon is teaming up with Marriott International Inc. on a chain of kid-friendly resort hotels that will feature elaborate water parks and live entertainment from SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and other stars of the cable TV channel.
The first hotel, set to break ground in January and open in early 2010, will be a 650-room facility with a 100,000-square-foot water park in San Diego's Liberty Station, former home of the Naval Training Center, Viacom Inc., which owns Nickelodeon, and Marriott said Thursday.
They said they expected to build 20 hotels in the United States and abroad by 2020.

As an adult, I'll have no interest in staying at one of these hotels, but I'm so glad to see Marriott delving into something that's at least partially entertainment-oriented. They did such a great job with Great America when they owned it, I'd like to think of this as a small re-entry into that market.

Cool! My kids are young now, but by then, the should be "Nickelodeon" age. :)
