Meh

I have stayed at the Dolphin since my twenty somethings were babies, and have great memories, but…. It needs some TLC. The wallpaper is coming of the walls in places. My bathroom had mold above the doorway. We were asked if we wanted daily room service and we did, but the first full day we were there, they never showed. The dining options are limited and even more over priced than the parks themselves. There are definitely positives, like the location! That alone, with a cheaper price makes in tempting, but barely. I still have good memories from staying here with my family, but we will probably go somewhere else next time.

I did not enjoy the guest service and the room

Marina M on Sep 07, 2024

I booked a deluxe room. It's just a basic room for more money. And I needed to pay extra for a late check out after being refused at the front desk, and asking for a manager that extended the room for 3 hours for $100 while my friends that stayed at the hotel got late check out for free. I am also a bonvoy member feeling special already. I wasn't happy with the service, the room service took 50 minutes, food was of very low quality for the prices and cold. Just overpriced under-serviced.
