The room was nice, the staff was very friendly, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only complaint is that the hot water didn't work one morning (or if it did, it was extremely slow), and I did not have time to wait for it before a conference started at 8:00 a.m. It did work the following morning and evening.

The hotel reception gives an air of quality and opulence but scratch beneath the surface and you can see that it is a 35 years old hotel which has probably had a couple of updates over that period and is probably soon due another one. However just painting over woodwork and changing tiling is only a cosmetic solution and I think that for the rates being charged a more intense refurbishment or rooms is required. That said, our room was of a decent size and was clean. There was the ubiquitous fridge and refreshments tray and it would have been nice to have a microwave in the room. All the staff were friendly, polite and helpful and the room was immaculately serviced every day, Wi-fi was a bit erratic and is included in the resort fee which together with the parking charge is a bit of a pill to swallow but is now pretty much the norm for any hotels in the Disney area. I refuse to pay $35 for valet parking on top of the hotel parking charge and used the self parking area which is a bit of a walk to the hotel but not too tasking. The upside is that free car parking is available at the Disney Parks which is currently $30. We didn't frequent any of the bars and restaurants but there was a good variety and price ranges suited most pockets. The location of the hotel is great for access to Epcot via Boardwalk Resort and to Hollywood Studios via water transport or a 20 minute walk along the waterway. All in all it was an enjoyable stay.

Having to walk to the Swan for bus pick up was terrible. My pregnant daughter had a hard time so we ended up ubering if we weren’t able to use the boat to EPCOT and HS. Glad I paid through the nose for “resort fees.” Also, my daughter and her family were at the Dolphin several hours before me ( the rooms were under my name ) and because I booked through Expedia they had to sit and wait for us with their 2 and 4 year old…. For several hours. I called the hotel directly to see if they could get into the room to rest but was told, “there was nothing they could do.” Again, thrilled to stay at a “resort” that understood a human issue. Unreal. And embarrassing to be honest. I was shocked at the bill checking out not to mention the outrageous fees on a room service order. I felt pretty taken to be honest and would love to know why exactly we received for the resort fee. Buses from our hotel to the MK? Nope. Pool? Nope. I’ve stayed at The Dolphin before and was very disappointed this time. The cleaning of our room was fair. I was surprised to see used glasses by the sink when we came back to our room in the evening after the room was cleaned. Will probably not stay there again.

Second room was great, but we had to switch because our door wouldn’t unlock. The room inside was great but so many issues with transportation to Disney parks. The boat to go back from Hollywood Studios told us that we wouldn’t be stopping at our hotel. We had to walk back from another boat stop and it was freezing. No guest were informed of this until the boat had pulled away from the dock. Then this morning our bus to Animal Kingdom never showed up for early morning entry. I was waiting for 15mins while another couple had been waiting for 40mins. Another guest walked back to the lobby to find out where the bus was but they didn’t know and said it was coming. Myself and other guests decided to split a Lyft to get there. We barely made it for early entry for guest.
