Overpriced Disney Branding, Not a Luxury Experience

Liked:I would not stay at the Walt Disney World Dolphin again, especially considering the pricing and the level of service provided. The hotel itself is clearly older, although it has been reasonably maintained over the years. The lobby and common areas look nice enough, but once you get into the rooms, it does not feel like a luxury hotel experience whatsoever. The rooms are extremely basic for a property charging around $400+ per night. The bathroom setup felt dated, with the toilet and bathtub/shower enclosed behind a separate door in an older-style layout. The best part of the stay was honestly the view overlooking the waterway, boats, and nighttime fireworks in the distance. That was beautiful and probably the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, everything else felt heavily overpriced for what was delivered. I forgot my phone charger at home and had to buy a charging block and cable from one of the hotel stores. The total came to roughly $89 for a basic charger setup. While purchasing it, another guest was trying to buy a single toothbrush priced around $18. Even the employee seemed uncomfortable saying the price out loud. It honestly felt excessive and exploitative. The service experience also did not match the luxury image the hotel tries to project. I had an item delivered to the hotel and asked whether it could be brought up to my room. I was initially told outside delivery personnel were not allowed upstairs, which is understandable. I then politely asked whether hotel staff could instead bring the item up. The response immediately became dismissive, and I was abruptly told, “Actually, you’re going to have to come down and pick it up by the bell staff.” There was no effort to assist or provide hospitality whatsoever. At a true luxury hotel, guests paying premium rates expect premium service. The overall experience here felt more focused on extracting money from guests because of the Disney association than actually delivering luxury accommodations or hospitality. If Disney branding and location were removed from this property, I do not believe this hotel would command anywhere near the rates it currently charges. Overall, the stay felt overpriced, underwhelming, and far below the standard I expected.

Disappointed and reconsidering Marriott in the future

Liked:I want to start this review by saying my 3 star review is because of the location. Otherwise, I would give it 1 or 2 stars. We have stayed at the Dolphin, the Swan and the Swan Reserve many times over the years. I am a Marriott Platinum member which I don't toss around like I am owed something but to give perspective that we travel alot and stay at Marriott properties all around the world. The majority of our stay was fine. At Disney, you don't spend much time in the room but I have no complaints about cleanliness. My chief complaint is around our arrival experience and the abysmal customer service. The place was crazy busy when we arrived so we were patient. However, we were told that self parking was not available at the hotel and if we wanted to self park we had to go next door to the other hotel. That said, they still charge $40/day to self park ½ mile away from the hotel. If you are unable to make that trek or are disabled or elderly, valet parking is available. On our arrival day, the valet told us "today it is $58/day." WHAT?! So, you have made self parking ridiculously inconvenient for paying customers and now want to price gouge for valet parking. That was number 1. We were thrilled that our room was ready upon arrival and we loaded our luggage onto a cart with a bellman. I went directly to the bell stand for our luggage and was told it would be up to the room in 5 minutes. We went to the room and waited.....and waited.....an hour went by. We called the bell stand and were put on hold for a long time and then were told it would be right up. Again, we waited.....I opened the door to go get ice and there were our bags going the wrong direction down the hall. I flagged the bell person down and she LIED and said she had been to the room TWICE and knocked on the door and no one answered. Well, I don't know what door she knocked on but it wasn't ours. Listen, it's ok if you messed up and it was really busy, just say sorry. That was number 2. The icing on the cake was that a bag of leftovers from our lunch was missing. So, trip back to bell services where they let me walk into the bag storage area to look around. The bewildered bell man was looking around and then, I happened to spy our bag on another cart. The food had been sitting outside in the 80 degree weather for over an hour unnecessarily and we threw it away because we didn't feel safe eating it. That was number 3. All that said, if you are still reading this, the location is the best and the price to stay here is usually very decent but we will think long and hard about where we spend our travel dollars again. If the hotel is going to be hosting a large convention that is going to inconvenience their other paying guests, I would suggest letting those guests know about it so they can make other plans if desired. I also think the Swan/Dolphin/Swan Reserve should consider adding parking as a "welcome gift" for those of us that are loyal to the brand---loyalty goes both ways.

Conveninent to Disney Parks, watch out for Valet service!

Liked:Proximity and ease to get to the Disney parks. Most of the staff were friendly. All of us (including our 3 yr old) liked the in-room service food and options.

Disliked:Valet service! We were told it would take up to 20 minutes. It took 40 minutes and was completely unnecessary. Didn't seem like they had a good system in place and made us significantly stressed and rushed to get to the airport. After 20 minutes, I went up to the window and was told that someone had our keys. However, we observed that each time a valet staffer was done, they would go get another set. After 30 minutes, I went up again and was told they were sorry, and it would be soon, and that Jonathan had our keys. After 40 minutes, I began to approach each of the valet staff and found Jonathan, who didn't have our keys. Eventually, a staffer, Walter brought up our car. Throughout our wait, we noticed that a majority of the vehicles being brought to the valet area were luxury, and led us to believe that we weren't prioritized based on time, but rather on class (a mid-size rental vehicle).
