Probably wouldn’t stay again

This is our 11th visit to Disneyworld and have always stayed on-site. Having stayed at Dolphin before we thought we would give The Swan a try. We stayed for 7 nights. All in all there are many positives however enough negatives to make me think again about Swan/Dolphin. Let’s start with the positives. ? it’s a fantastic location with Epcot and Hollywood Studios walkable along with boat options ? we had super help when checking in as we had just lost our toiletry bag on the travel over to the hotel and we was reassured and given a big bag of everything we needed. ? The pool area is very good. A very large main pool and several smaller quieter pools ? The chat function on the app usually worked well when you needed something from housekeeping, although it shouldn’t be needed as much as it was ? security resolve an issue with our ‘neighbour’ playing their TV all night, they sent up security who promptly resolved this as 4am. Negatives ?? housekeeping was all over the place, one day we received it about 6.30pm, the next day they came at 8am, when we asked them to come back a little later we came back at 1am to find the room hadn’t been serviced at all. We had no clean towels and had to make a request on the app the next day. Generally it felt they didn’t have enough housekeeping members of staff, additionally some days we would get water others we wouldn’t. ?? noise. We wasn’t told there would be hotel construction when we booked the hotel, additionally we paid an extra $400 at check in to get a room with a balcony only to spend the first few days listening to hammering. Having said that noise distribution from this was minimal. ?? at midnight one night there was a sudden loud noise outside the balcony which woke us up, it turned out it was a maintenance member of staff who was jet washing the hotel with a loud generator. It was genuinely bewildering. I was frustrated but having contacted the chat, they got security to check it out and it was stopped after about 20-25 mins. I just don’t understand how it would have happened. ?? it’s lovely to get aircon when you enter the hotel but I don’t think I’ve ever been in a colder hotel. ?? resort fee…. We knew about it but the price $50 a night is scandalous for the perks you get, coming from the uk where resort fees arent really a thing, we have however stayed at other Us hotel where the amenities have been good value such as redemption against cost of food/breakfast. A swan ride which we don’t want and WiFi isn’t good value. Overall we thing we would give up the location for a more Disney feel hotel which doesn’t add on a big resort fee
Best time for my little family!

I came to Disney and the Dolphin for a 4 day 3 night break. The Dolphin is so lovely. It’s perfectly situated to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios . Epcot is my favourite park so the walk was so fast. My little bites loved taking the boat as well. There is a bus service to Magic Kingdom too which we used to go to the Halloween Party. The pool is brilliant and had a banging millennial soundtrack! (Maybe I’m just old now). Wish we had more time. Room was clean and comfortable. Beds to sink into! Mini fridge available for snacks. Lots of water stocked up too. I’m a Marriot member so booked via Marriot rather than Disney. Got a room upgrade and late check out.
