Dolphin/swan room ?

[SamanthaL]

I was wondering what the differences are between the standard room, the deluxe room, and a club room at the Swan/Dolphin? Is one bigger than another? Are they decorated differently? Just wondering. I could get the nurse discount, but I just can't decide as usual. Right now we are at the BWI.

I do not have a answer for you, but I wouldlove to have an answer so I thought I would write a note for a bump.

 

[SamanthaL]

Can anyone out there help us?

 

[Teacher Girl]

COme on someone has to know the answer!

 

[SamanthaL]

I guess the teacher and the nurse stand alone! We will get great discounts, and the room/amenities will be a surprise. Teacher Girl- I did check out the FAQ on this site and it was very good, but didn't answer this question. Oh, well.

Room description

The guest rooms feature either two queens(Swan)or two doubles(Dolphin) or a king bed. Some have balconies with views of the other resort, the grpound, or Epcot. The rooms are decorated in the turquoise and coral colors. The furnishings are made of a light wood giving the room an airy feel. There was a wicker basket in the shape of a clam shell on our bathroom counter. In it was several plush towels and a variety of toiletries. The tub/shower combination also had a towel rack mounted in the back that contained towels and wash clothes. The Swan has two sinkd one located inside the bathroom and one outside the bathroom. The Dolphin has only one sink. Extra pillows are on top self of the closet.

View info/ Balcony info
Lake View rooms are mostly between the "fingers" of the building, with view of Crescent lake area, but a limited view due to the building. The Resort view rooms are more of a "wide open" view, with the possibility of view of the white sandy beach area, pools, or even Epcot. Standard rooms we describe as "non designated view", and most are on the wooded side or parking lot areas. The Swan "standard views" tend to have a bit better view (MGM ,TOT)than the Dolphin due to location. Front of either hotel is "Standard" views. Hope this helps people a little more!

Balcony rooms tend to be on the fingers or wings of each resort and in rooms facing the other resort. Balconies have two chairs and a small table. Balcony rooms 3rd floor and below tend to have balcony rooms right next to each other. Rooms over the 3rd floor alternate room with a balcony and room w/o.

At the Dolphin the 12th floor-Royal Beach Level and had club privileges. The prices for the honor bar was $2.00 for a beer or wine, and $3.50 for liquors-great deal compared to buying at a bar. No service charge is added. The $8 resort fee is waived at the concierge level.
The Concierge level(club rooms) at the Swan and Dolphin have Westin Heavenly Beds, extra nice with great padding and sheets. Thanks WonderMagik
