Was a nice hotel that had everything you would want. The location to the parks was fine, the transportation was perfect. The bathroom could have used some updating. The balcony was dirty and didn't look like it was mantained. Was unable to utilize it due to its condition.

Fabulous, loved the location. We could not extend our stay. Pool area wasnot 5 year old friendly. This is the third time we stayed. Twice as a couple once with a child. Beautiful views. Just what we wanted. King bed and a sleeper in our room was perfect when traveling with your 5 year old.

Stayed there Oct 29-Nov 2nd. Wonderful hotel with great location, beds, superb transportation, very clean and friendly staff. Very convienent boat to Disney MGM studios and Epcot. Very short walk to the boardwalk. Great pool/beach area. I loved the 2 Queen beds they were so comfortable to sleep in, but rooms are MUCH smaller than the advertisement photos as they used a Macro Lens camera for advertising. Crowded with 3 adults and a child, no couch or seating room. Bathroom area adequate, but small.

We had a wonderful time at Disney World. Everything at the Swan was excellent. The staff, the room, the restaurants at the Dolphin, were perfect. The location was great with easy access to the parks and Downtown Disney. We had a great time and hopefully will be able to return and stay at the Swan again.

Access to Hollywood Studios was great...8 minutes by boat. Access to Epcot was available by boat also, but stops at the Boardwalk and the Yacht Club make this a trek. It's quicker to walk. Other than the bed, there was nothing special about the room to note - most of your time shouldn't be spent there anyway. The pool with grotto was really neat and a welcome getaway from the heat. It's neat that the swam and dolphin share amenities - the 24 hour buffeteria in the dolphin came in handy several times.

It was very accommodating and the bed was really comfortable! The coffee bar was not too fresh. As a family we really enjoyed our time at the Swan. There are lots of things to do close by and it's very clean and comfortable.

Our trip to the Swan was great. The beds were "heavenly" but we were unable to score a king size. The room was simple standard, quiet and clean. The towels were plentiful. Carpets were new and there were no smells as others have noted here before. We never waited for an elevator! Despite the # of rooms, we never felt a crowd. It was a place to de-Mouse yourself after a hectic day at the parks. The pools were beautiful and not busy (October). I can't say enough about the location. It is attached by causeway to the Dolphin and is back door to the convenient water shuttle (7 minute ride) and walkways to Boardwalk, Disney Yatch Club, Epcot & Hollywood studios. Their 1 mile jogging trail loops around the beautiful 4 hotel area & lagoon. Boardwalk is a fun place to just hang out at night. We never needed to rent a car and the trip to Magic Kingdom & Animal Kingdom was about 15 minutes by bus. The return trips were longer, but no problem. The Garden Grove breakfast buffet was great but it was awfully noisy with the high ceilings. Goofy and Pluto were there on Sunday. My husband & I would make a recommendation for the Swan, and Disney in general: Change to Dunkin Donuts coffee! Tip: We & houskeeping had a hard time coordinating... so when you leave your room, call to ask for your room to be done prior to your return. (Our unwind time interferred with their schedule so our room was not done until 5:30PM) The best Mom-ism I heard on the trip was when a mother said to her children: "This is the happiest place on earth, there's no whinning allowed here." LOL

Overall hotel good, however we requested and were told we could have a roll away bed but when we registered they told us we could not have the bed because it was a fire hazzard. Had we known this we would have selected a different hotel.

Our family went to Walt Disney World to celebrate my sister's birthday. When choosing the hotel to stay at we automatically tried for every Disney Resort, but most we already booked, or was way too expensive. Then we came saw the Dolphin and Swan hotel. The price at the Swan hotel was very reasonable and the location was amazing. The hotel itself was spotless and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was perfect for a family of 4. There were 2 queen size "heavenly" beds, starbucks coffee and plenty of space in the room. A must stay if you are in the Orlando area. Highly recommended!

I was extremely disappointed in our stay at the Swan. It is listed as a deluxe resort and I have stayed at Super 8's that were nicer. The room we stayed in was dirty and they were doing remodeling/construction work on the room next to ours and the two rooms directly across from ours. We were not told upon check-in that construction was happening, nor given the option of moving. It appears that the Dolphin is a nicer hotel and the Swan and Dolphin share all of the amentities with each other. Dirty drinking glasses were left day after day until we said something and there was a smushed grape that was hidden behind the curtains that housekeeping missed - upon our arrival! Everything is very expensive - one breakfast for three people to eat cost $*. Everything in the hotel is dated. The lobby is extremely deceiving because it looks so nice when you walk in, but it is a huge disappointment when you get to the rooms. In fact, on our first full day at the hotel, we had to have housekeeping come at 5 p.m. because they completely skipped our room! There is just no excuse. There is nothing for kids to do at the hotel - you would be better served staying at another hotel that caters to kids. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone - in fact, I have an entire sheet of paper that lists all of my grievences that I am going to pass on to the general manager.

Wonderful hotel...great beds, great transportation, very clean and friendly staff. I loved where the hotel was located. Very convienent boat to disney holywood studios and epcot. Very short walk to the boardwalk. Great pool/beach area. I loved the beds they were so comfortable to sleep in. No complaints! Even though there is a business confrence center in the hotel it is still very kid friendly. I have a seven and two year old and it was great. Do not hesitate to book your stay here!

We arrived the Friday before Labor day and the weekend was great. Then Tuesday came and the remodeling with it. I had done my research and this hotel was remodeled 3 yrs ago, so thought would be ok. Understand it was slow season, but they were remodeling right next door to our room, and many rooms on our floor. No relaxing in the afternoon for us! Other problems, bugs in our coffee carafe, lost room services orders, air conditioner issues the last night of our stay, did I mention the remodeling??? On arrival we inquired about an upgrade and were told we could upgrade to a suite w/ a balcony for $* a day. Great, except it turned out to be a regular room w/ a pullout sofa and a balcony. Not worthy of the extra $$. The staff were only ok, the front desk clerk, friendly enough, but then she was working on that extra * for the upgrade. When I contacted room service about the but, I was met with disbelief. When they brought up another and saw the bug, he was very apoligetic, however, we were still charged for the coffee! They did credit us for a room service charge when they lost our order, but it was too little too late. I did speak with the front desk manager and GM, but niether offered anything except to educate thier staff. Thought they may have offered some incentive to make this right. On the positive side, the beds were awesome, the buses/boats to the parks were great. Don't be fooled, this is not a Disney owned hotel! I think if I had understood this, I may have chosen differently. At the very least I would choose the Dolphin but definately look at Disney hotels.

Over all the Swan was a great place to stay. The staff was verry kind. The activities to do there were great. The location is prefect for a nice walk to Epcot or a boat ride to Disney's Hollywood studios. There was a great pool perfect for getting out of the sun on a hot day. The Kimono restraunt was an exelent place to eat.Thanks,Eun D

Great location and facilities with a nice pool areas. The restaurants at the Swan were mostly high end. This is a great place to relax and enjoy Disney. The accommodations were very nice and the transportation to the Disney Kingdom's were okay. The pool areas kept the kids entertained.

Came with my husband, who was here for conference. Convenient for him. Not so great for me. They nickel and dime you to death on everything. Food is outrageously priced. Room was below average--but bed was comfortable and room clean. If it's warm out, be ready because it will be FREEZING in public areas (lobby, restaurants, etc.). So much for being green and saving resources! Funny smell, too. Had to rent a car one day at least to GET OUT of the Disney universe. You are basically stuck in Disney and all their overpriced options without a car. I have stayed at much better places for half the price with great continental breakfasts and FREE amenities. Won't be returning.

First off, we booked this hotel because they were running a fantastic sale off their normal $200 - $400 rates (which always prevented us from staying there in the past). The rooms were nice, contemporary, and clean. Of course the staff was very friendly. Its central location is hard to beat. You are in walking distance of the Broadway resort, multiple pools at Swan and Dolphin, miniature golf, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. My only complaint were the additional fees they charged. First, if you bring a car you have to pay $9 per day to park. I have stayed at several other Disney resorts and never had to pay for parking. In downtown Manhattan I would expect it, not Disney with it's 30,000 acres. This one aggravated me the most. They also charged $10 for internet, fitness center access, some local calling priveledges, and 2 bottles of water. Not a bad deal, but at what point to these hotels get in line with other chains and build these into the price instead of sneaking it around the back.
