Well both the Swan & Dolphin are sold out tonight thru Thursday. They really need to turn the rooms. That is why they could not offer your husband a late checkout at 2 PM.
As I just posted they are sold out thru Thursday. Both of these hotels are considered Resort Category, they are not like a random Marriott hotel on a random Monday in January.
Just curious if there is ever an additional charge added to guest's bill for doing this. It certainly affects the next guest who is trying to check-in when there room is not available. So not cool.
Your two sarcastic posts are duly noted.
Why would they charge me for leaving the room and letting it turn over at the checkout time? I have no obligation to physically check out or even tell them I am leaving. They have my credit card on file and will put the final charges on it.
It normally is a $50 charge for a 2 PM late checkout. And room your are in also impacts if will be granted regardless of your guest status.
For not telling the hotel you removed bags from your room before official check out time? You have to be kidding me, that’s beyond absurd. I’d wager a good chunk of guests don’t bother to tell the hotel they’ve cleared their bags out a couple hours earlier than official checkout time or go through the manual on app checkout process. There is a reason many us hotels do automatic checkouts now, and Swolphin is included in that. PP was just annoyed enough at the switcharoo on the late check out they didn’t take time out of their day to check out of the room early.
I can see our room from your room! We looked out over the round roof and the pool. We may have crossed paths during our time there.
That's the truth! I was super excited to stay at FW years ago, but it was a one and done for us. Internal transportation was a mess, and bussing to MK was too, we ended up renting a golf car to get us to the boat launch as we spent most of our time at MK and The Contemporary for a conference I was attending. But having to but to 3 of the parks got old, fast. I found S/D to be such an ideal location and wonderful hotel. I hope your stay at FW goes great, curious to hear your thoughts.
Ah, I see. I was wondering how you managed that.
No. We’ve been here for only 2 days and it’s been busy both days. Could only get 1 T1 attraction at Epcot today. Both Rat and Frozen were sold out by the time we got into the park and tapped into our first ride at 10:00.
Just to make your decision even harder, I’ll add Trattoria Al Forno on the Boardwalk to the mix. That was our favorite breakfast by far.
lol, that does make my decision harder
But thanks for the recommendation ! I’ll look into that one too.Yummy, we had it on our last visit 2yrs ago, do you recall the upgrade charge to include the hotfood?
Ah…my apologies! I misread your post to mean you stayed until 2pm anyway. Of course you shouldn’t be charged.
Yes, the Swan & Dolphin resorts (Marriott Bonvoy properties) support the Marriott Bonvoy Mobile Key, allowing you to use your smartphone as a room key after checking in via the app, providing a touchless way to open doors, and the fitness center, you'll need the Marriott Bonvoy app.
