I grew up playing with Polly Pocket playsets. Granted, they were much different when I was a kid {the Polly figures were about half the size of your thumb, and the entire playset was maybe the size of your hand} but man was I obsessed. I literally had over 30 of the sets & even held on to them until I was in college, when I {very reluctantly} sold them on eBay to pay for textbooks.
Polly & her friends have changed since my day, but I love how they are now too! The dolls are now a few inches tall & are much more interactive. You can change their clothing, add accessories, and play with much, much larger playsets!
One of those playsets is the new Polly Pocket Spin ‘N Surprise Hotel by Mattel. This hotel includes four stories of play, and two of them even spin to reveal another area, doubling the fun!
The set includes two dolls {Polly & Lila} as well as several accessories, including drinks {mocktails, of course!} to enjoy by the pool, sunglasses, ping pong paddles & more.
It also includes pieces that suction onto the set, like a DJ booth, bed, and chairs! The suction feature is great because it allows all the fun of “setting up” {which was honestly my favorite part of playing with dolls as a kid} without the frustration of having the items fall over all the time while you’re playing with them. It also allows the set’s pieces to be spun to play with the other side without any of the set pieces falling down or having to be removed!
There is so much to do at the Spin ‘N Surprise Hotel- whether Polly & Lila feel like sunbathing or getting ice cream on the roof, checking in or meeting for lunch in the lobby, sliding down the waterslide into the pool below or just catching up on some R&R, this hotel could entertain your child for hours!
Buy It: You can get the Polly Pocket Spin ‘N Surprise Hotel at various retailers or online for the MSRP of $49.99 including at Mattel’s website. {The hotel is currently on sale on Amazon for $16.78 for the holidays so pick it up now while it’s 66% off!}
Note: I received the hotel to facilitate this review. All experiences are authentic & all opinions are my own.

I loved Polly Pocket as a girl. They certainly have changed how their made though. Those suction cup things are fantastic! Why didn’t someone think of those sooner?
