Perfect stay during a great holiday. Soured by the ridiculous Resort fee...

stayed while on a family holiday at Christmas time. Arrived & parking was slightly complicated but we worked it out in the end. Checked in a reasonable time & quickly up to our rooms. They also made the extra effort to make our rooms close together! The room we had (5057) was well kept & clean. Also included 4 bottles of water which were replaced everyday, great service. Transport is also easy to access for Hollywood studios & epcot or they are just a short walk away! Pool facilities are also superb but they did close the slide earlier then advertised every time we was down. Only two small things is to watch the floors, they seem very uneven & caused our party to trip a few times. Also the resort fee is a joke, paying for stuff you will never use! Overall, a perfect stay.
Not worth the cost

For this stay we were originally booked at the Swan and last minute decided to switch to the Dolphin as the price for the same amount of nights, similar rooms was about $2000 less. We had previously stayed at the Swan (6 years ago) and absolutely loved it and had at the time visited the Dolphin and thought it was nice. Although the hotel looks nice the rooms are average at best, service is just okay - they were very lacking in staff during such a busy season with only 2 people at any given time servicing the front desk. Housekeeping is virtually nonexistent which for the price we paid I had hoped would be a priority. For a Bonvoy property this does NOT hold up to what they normally offer their loyalty members. This was a very disappointing stay. Back to housekeeping - We requested that our rooms be cleaned daily (we had two rooms). Some days they were cleaned to the bare minimum - bed made only. Other days they weren’t touched when we got back to the room around 5pm. When they did service the rooms they were never vacuumed, there were hairs in the bathrooms that never moved over our 9 night stay (that were there from previous guests), multiple days towels were not replaced with fresh ones but just refolded, soap dispensers were never refilled and we actually ran out of soap by the end of our stay, coffee cups weren’t refilled and we had to ask for more. Overall this was extremely disappointing as even at budget hotels we’ve had better service.
