    The basic wifi is not good for work, at least in the East tower. Kept cutting out over 3 days of working.

    We booked 5 rooms for 3 days.... 17 people... At least one room was not cleaned per day... 1500 rooms are very complicated to deal with

    Stayed here for 2 days as an SPG Gold member. Payed a premium for an Epcot view with balcony and was given a room on the lowest floor, a very far walk, and very weak AC. I suggest you stay elsewhere.

    Take the free shuttle to Downtown Disney and try the Earl of Sandwich. Worth the trip!

    Go past the main entrance and past the self parking entrance and park in the "cast member" parking for free, noone monitors it

    The hotel complex has awful internet service for large conferences. When the masses began arriving the speed went from tolorable to waiting 20 minutes or more for an outbound email to upload.

    Be sure to order a pizza from Room service at the Dolphin. Best room service pizza I have ever had. Sure didn't taste like room service!

    So this is not a Disney property. It's SPG on Disney property.

    Noisy house keeping in the mornings, old towels, stained sheets, and... BUGS of all sorts. Not a happy stay.

    Billing si a total mess! Each room has a different deposit from 100 dollars to 900. Why ? If each room is the same?

    Not impressed at all. Room is dated, rough, and smells of stale old cigarette smoke. For the price, there are nicer, newer, and better maintained hotels in this area. Live and learn.

    Were given a noisy room with insane noise all night, couldn’t sleep, asked to move to a different room but no one seemed to care. Didn’t enjoy this hotel at all

    going to the park r not, our stays at the @SwanDolphin (Dolphin) have always been great. This trip, our 26th Wedding Anniversary was even better. The service is as great as the food & choice of pools

    Check in later in the evening, for a single night and ask for an upgrade. 10099 is a premium room next to the fountain running down the side of the hotel.

    Tough to say negative things about Disney, but this place sets a new [low] standard. Hidden fees, odors, and a cavernous and confusing layout diminish the experience. We don't love it here.

    Skip room service and they give you a five dollar, per day food and beverage credit voucher.

    showing your AAA card at the restaurants in the hotel gets you 20% off your check.

    The hotel shows its age, even in the premium rooms. And the gym was a definate after thought. Only good thing is the pool and Big Buck hunter.

    Old and run down rooms. Felt dirty. Mattress ripped. $16/night parking. $23/day resort fees. Stay somewhere else where paying resort fees and parking are worth it.
