An alright place to stay at Disney
Jwharmsby (Twickenham, United Kingdom) on Nov 30, 2025
Stayed one night in November 2025. Firstly, this is a Marriott hotel on Disney property and I booked directly through Marriott. Check-in was okay but very impersonal, I have elevated stated with Marriott and have stayed at many of their hotels and this service was amongst the worst and my loyalty was not acknowledged which was a shame. Upon trying the room, the door would not open and we thought someone was inside so went back to desk. Was sent back and told nobody should be in there but again couldn’t open the door. 10 mins later while we are still standing outside the room a handyman arrives and says there’s nothing he can do. A security man arrives a few mins later and manages to slip the latch and let us in. We ask if this is a regular issue and he explains that if the door slams it can trigger the latch and prevent re-entry and sure enough this was VERY easy to do which is absolutely bizzare! The room itself was very nice, as was the bathroom. Both very clean and well-appointed. Location of the hotel is ideal for walking to Epcot and close to Hollywood Studios also. Parking is $38/night though but does grant free parking at the Parks on check-in and check-out days. Also allows access to Deluxe Extra Magic Hours which was a nice perk. I did feel the resort lacks the Disney magic though. The service was pretty shoddy, the rooms though nice were not ‘magical’ a there’s no theming or anything in the lobby either. I did expect this but I think at least if the service was good it would have felt like a more pleasant trip but sadly did not. No free parking like the Disney-owned resorts seems like a mis-step too.
Noisy but great location

We just spent 4 nights at the Swan in a balcony two-queen room. First, the cons: This hotel was very noisy. I could hear the shower running next door, the housekeeping crew clearing their throats and talking, the people above and next door moving about. Doors closing in the hall were a loud thump. The lobby was freezing cold. The cleaning products (which I assume are standard to Marriott) were cloying and gave me a headache. I had to open my balcony doors after the room next door was cleaned because the smell was so strong. Pros: location, location, location. This is my preferred location at Disney World. I've stayed at all of the skyliner resorts, but my true preference is to eliminate the need for it altogether. I'd love to stay at Boardwalk, Yacht Club or Beach Club, but I can't justify the cost. You still get deluxe hours staying here. The holiday decorations were nice. I'm writing this review from the Hard Rock at Universal, and the room is so much quieter. Of course, these hotels are two totally different price points. The Swan is a good value for the money and I would stay there again.
