This may be a silly question, but can you do the free meal option or this not one of the "Disney" resorts they were talking about?
Unfortunately, you can't do the dining plan at the Swan & Dolphin.

3xthejoy,
When we stayed at the Dolphin Christmas 2005, we had this exact room. It looked out over the rotunda below....no views, but we didn't mind. We had soooo much room, it was great! Do you remember what classification of suite this room was? We were upgraded to this room from a standard room as Starwood members.

With the Starwood program, depending on your level, you should be upgraded automatically if you're gold or platinum.
My family and I will be staying at the Dolphin for the first time starting July 1 for 6 nights as part of a dance group. We are Starwood members too. Do you think that our group status will eliminate any chances of an upgrade?
Also, is it true that there is not a refrigerator in any of the rooms? Not even if you pay for one?
The Dolphin has double beds,right? If so, is there a daybed or do you have to purchase a rollaway?
Glad to find this thread. I've been reading the boards for awhile now and just joined. We're staying at the Swan the first week of May for 7 nights on points. One of the perks of a traveling husband.

I'm hoping a suite is available for us when we check in. For those who have stayed in the past, I know the hotel was refurbished, but it still looks a bit outdated, is it the colors? Am I going to be happy there? I know I'm not paying for it, but I still expect a good room from a Starwood property.
Can't wait to go, 3 weeks from tomorrow!!
We have stayed at the Dolphin on several trips. We have NEVER asked to be upgraded, never thought to do so as I didn't think it was right. However, since being Starwood Preferred guests, we have always been given a balcony room at check-in , w/o paying for the upgrade. I believe they do it automatically. Wondering if anyone has ever been ugraded to something nicer...perhaps a suite?
I thought I read somewhere on the Starwood site that Starwood Preferred (basic) and Starwood Gold cannot be upgraded free to any suites, just better category rooms. Maybe it was just Preferred....and maybe I read it wrong, but I remember seeing that last year.
