What is the difference between the Swan Hotel and the Dolphin?

Compared with the Dolphin, the Swan has a more upscale, adult-oriented vibe. It's also smaller, with about half as many rooms, making it easier to navigate. For some families, this can be important. All Swan double-bed rooms come with two queen beds, while the Dolphin provides full mattresses.
