I love the Dolphin, but ....

... the beds are worrying me!

I have read on the boards a few comments about how bad the mattresses are at the Dolphin and as I suffer with my back and need a fairly firm mattress I'm a bit concerned about this for our trip in December, as it is 15 nights.

We have stayed at the Dolphin once before, in May '99 and I remember how saggy the mattress was, if they haven't changed them since then, they will be in a sorry state! We actually ended up asking for a roll-away and I slept on that, but really, spending 15 nights in a deluxe hotel I don't expect to have to sleep on the roll-away!

We have also stayed at DXL and found the mattress there absolutely fine - I don't need a rock hard one, just a reasonably averagely firm one. I don't usually have problems in most hotels so it's not as if I need to sleep on a board!

We do love the Dolphin, especially the views, but if I don't get much sleep I won't be a happy bunny!

So.... come on, be honest, all those who've stayed at the Dolphin, how was your mattress? Just trying to work out whether this is a problem throughout the hotel or just something you MAY enounter?

Thanks

We stayed at the Dolphin this past July. I also have a bad back. I didn't find the mattress to be so bad. I know a lot of people on these boards complain about them. I guess it depends on the luck of the draw. Of course, the week before, we had been at the Hard Rock Hotel and they have FANTASTIC mattresses. Yet, even after sleeping on the great HRH mattress, I wasn't upset with my mattress at the Dolphin.

We came over from the Royal Pacific (new hotel & mattresses) and we still slept perfectly fine on our Dolphin bed. At home our mattress is very firm and DH has back trouble. I specifically asked him if bed slept well for him and he said it was fine!
