The final phase for the Swan Guest Room redesign will commence the week of April 8th and will be completed by end of year 2024. Upon completion, ALL Swan Guest rooms will have been redesigned and updated.
The Swan guest room redesign features notable upgrades including new wood laminate flooring, new furniture, 65” flat screen TVs, updates to soft goods and enhancements to guest room bathrooms as well.
Work will take place daily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., when the majority of guests are out of their rooms--each section of rooms being worked on will be placed out of order. Additionally, the guest rooms on the floor directly below where the work is being done will also be placed out of order to minimize noise impact.

Good location

This hotel is well located to access Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Rooms are average size and comfortable. However, you can tell they haven’t been refreshed in years. Noticeable lack of working USB plugs was annoying considering flute amount of charging needs in 2024. Bed isn’t the usual comfy bed for a Westin and the pillows are “harder” than usual. The hotel is very “fragrant”. Not sure if it’s the carpet cleaning or other products they use but if you have any scent sensitivity, you will probably notice it. It seems to be stronger in the morning and wears off during the day. The other annoying negative is the high resort fee and parking fee with this hotel. It’s definitely noticeable on your final bill. Staff is lovely and the front desk is a well run machine.
The Good and the bad.

The Good: *The location cannot be beat. Close to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios - via complimentary boat rides or just walking. Makes it easy to visit more than one theme park in a day. *The room rate was less than nearby Disney properties - we do have some complaints about a few of the Swan's pricing policies, but you will pay less at the Swan than the nearby Disney Boardwalk or Beach & Yacht Club. *Staff were generally helpful. We asked to be switched from 2 queen beds to a king and the staff was happy to help. They even asked us if we preferred a high or low floor. We wanted a high floor, so we were a bit disappointed to see that our room was on the 4th floor. No matter, we loved our balcony (that we paid for) and enjoyed the view of the boats. *Mobile ordering from Java (a grab and go type place) was efficient and saved us time by not waiting in line. *The pool areas - we tried both the quiet adult pool and the grotto pool that has a really cool waterfall. Both areas were very nice with bar/food service available. *Room temperature - thermostat worked great and was quiet. We were happy with that. *Room cleanliness - room was clean. No complaints The Bad: *The pools were cold. Very cold. While the pools and nearby amenities were nice, we could not go in the pools as there were way too cold - and this is on a day when the high temp was in the upper 80's. *The beds were very hard. Both my husband and I had trouble getting comfortable and both woke up in pain due to the extra firmness of the beds. The Ridiculous: *Parking Charge- Self parking is a whopping $38.34 PER NIGHT (inc taxes)! This is for an unmanned, uncovered parking lot that is a good walk from the Front Desk of the hotel. I feel that this is an absurd cost for self parking of this type. *Resort Fee - we paid $50.63 (inc taxes) A NIGHT for the resort fee. I believe this too is excessive.
