Swan & Dolphin in Nov.

[MELSMICE]

Just booked flights for Nov. Have an off-site place on hold. Looking into staying at the Swan or Dolphin. Has anyone stayed there with 5. How large are the rooms. Kids will be 13, 10 & 10. All girls. Could they fit in one bed or should we get the cot. Was told it was $25 a day extra.

Would get the FL Entertainment book for the 50% off. Worth staying there or not. Just thinking of trying something different. Love the Boardwalk area.

glo or dreamflight99. They seem to have the best info around. We stayed there in Nov (2001) with a family of 5 (15, 13, & 7 - three boys). We also had the rollaway bed (worth it). One little tip: I came bearing gifts - errr, I presented the front desk with a large gold tin of chocolate and cookies. "Magically" the $25 fee was waived....you would be surprised how far a gesture of appreciation goes.....;) !!!

Can't answer your question about 5 in a room. Just wanted to say you don't have to get the Florida ent. book to get the rate, unless you want it for some other reason. We booked the S/D the last 2 years using the hotel listings in the middle of our local Entertainment book, just have to show your card at check-in. Hope you have a great trip in November!

Thanks for the info. Just looked in the Entertainment book & saw the 50% off special. I'll use that one instead.
