Has anyone stayed at either of these with 5 people (2adults, 3 kids)? I was wondering about the bedding and which room would offer the most room.

I have stayed at the Swan and I know that they have rollaways, but we never ended up using it on the last trip.

Thanks!
 
Just answered my own question, sort of! Only the Dolphin allows 5 in a room as the room is bigger (360 sq ft as per the ressie agent) than at the Swan and fire code, etc.

So now my question is really, has anyone stayed with 5 at the Dolphin? They said I could have a rollaway with no charge.
 
We have and there was no problem. The rollaway stood on end during the day so we could get around in the room :) I did not feel cramped because of this...
 
Question to ask: How many nights, how old are your kids and what is your budget? You're legal with the hotel but only you can decide if you could use a second bathroom or the privacy of a second bedroom.
 

The kids are small so the bathroom really isn't an issue yet. I'll let you know when they're 13 and fighting for time by the mirror! LOL!
Privacy is not a big consideration, we usually end up crashing at night and the kids for the most part are sound sleepers.
But I am torn between HIFS and the Dolphin. The rate for govt. is 115 for HIFS and 129 Dolphin, HIFS has more room, free breakfast, zero entry pool. Dolphin has pool slide, more deluxe resort and better location. Decisions, Decisions!

We have stayed at the swanwhen we were a family of 4 and the kids really liked it there. I would not want to be dissapointed by staying at HIFS.

Thanks for any input!
