I recently stay here with my husband and two year old daughter for her first trip to Disney world. After reading reviews i expected the property to be some what dated. It was NOT nearly as bad as expected. It is dated, but not to the point its all you notice. The hotel is clean, the service was great. The restaurants were all very good. The Italian restaurant in the swan was one of the best Italian restaurants i have been to in a long time! The ferry to Epcot and Hollywood studios was very convenient and a lot of fun for my daughter. I also found it to be very relaxing as well. The bus service to the Disney parks was also great, and right outside. The housekeeping was great and i never had any housekeeping issues. For the price paid and to be on Disney property i would definitely stay again!

This is a clean and nice hotel. It is an aging property, the rooms need a bit of a touch up. The bed was comfortable and the staff very friendly. What makes this property a staple is the ability to walk straight into EPCOT. My husband and I stayed here at the end of January for my birthday. We did not spend much time in the room, but it is very helpful to walk back if needed without paying for parking at the parks. The Garden Grove has a nice breakfast buffet, but requires a slight walk to the Dolphin. Of the two, I prefer the Swan.

Recently took 25 clients to the Dolphin for a 1.5 day business meeting. First the highpoints. The service from the staff was good. Not great, but very good. Very attentive. Food quality was good at most events. There are some excellent restaurants in the hotel. BlueZoo has a great offering - try it for a memorable evening.

Where the hotel starts to stagger a bit is in fit and finish. it is an aging property and it shows in the rooms and common areas. Does not measure up to other Disney properties.

Again, if you are working with a tighter budget this property will work but there might be better options if you research the area.

My wife and I stayed at this resort for five nights to attend a business conference. The room was just okay and the view we had was of a roof and nothing else. Our room did not get made up until late afternoon each day. The conference rooms were fairly nice. Overall I felt that for the price and place it could have been much nicer.
