  Dissappointing, overrated chain hotel

  An utterly mediocre hotel with cold, chain atmosphere and inattentive service, not to mention bland, poorly appointed suites. Extremely frustrating checkin experience, chaotic parking, and an endless swarm of agitated corporate convention types pacing around with lanyards and business casual pantsuits—essentially bullying and crowding out vacationing families. Very surprising all around. Ultimatel… Read moreAn utterly mediocre hotel with cold, chain atmosphere and inattentive service, not to mention bland, poorly appointed suites.

  Not Up to Disney Standards

  With over 40 Disney property stays under my belt — most of them at the premier resorts — I know what to expect. This visit was for a conference, and even knowing the Swan & Dolphin sits in a slightly different category, I still expected the basics.It started at check-in, where the push for my Marriott rewards number crossed the line from a routine ask into outright annoyance — especially after… Read moreWith over 40 Disney property stays under my belt — most of them at the premier resorts — I know what to expect.

Wait for 10 minutes to get a key from ballet to be able to move my car over to the Swan hotel. Which other next-door is about a 10 minute walk. The view that we had was of a… Read moreThere was a $50 resort fee and $40 fee nightly and other miscellaneous fees added on my bill.

  Enjoyed, will be back!

  I was wowed by my recent stay at The Dolphin. I appreciated all the conveniences and we could have easily stayed on the property for all four nights if you never wanted to leave; incredible dining options, phenomenal pool for both adults and children and close to both the boardwalk, Epcot and Hollywood Studios by either walking or water taxi. The beds were comfortable and roomy and I enjoyed the v… Read moreI was wowed by my recent stay at The Dolphin.

  Count your days Dolphin

  I'm going to preface this by saying I haven't stayed here since pre-covid because on all my previous trips, I always had problems. However, I had a super last minute trip to Disney and found a reasonable rate here so I figured I would give it another chance. Big mistake. Huge. (Okay maybe a slight exaggeration).I arrived around 10:30pm and literally got the last spot in the parking lot. When I got… Read moreI'm going to preface this by saying I haven't stayed here since pre-covid because on all my previous trips, I always had problems.
