Top pick for most travelers: Traditional Room
If you want the standard Swan guest experience, book a Traditional Room (1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds). These rooms provide the essential in-room amenities listed by the property and are the base category for most rates and availability.
Traditional Rooms are the versatile option for solo travelers, couples, and many families — the 2 Queen Beds layout is the straightforward family choice. Photos that illustrate the typical layout include a king-bed example and a two-bed example shown in the property photo set.
- Beds: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds
- Good for: solo travelers, couples, families who don’t need a sofa bed
- Closely located to lobby and dining outlets for quick access
| Room type | Beds |
|---|---|
| Traditional Room | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
| Traditional Room (Mobility/, Tub) | 1 King Bed |
| Traditional Room (Mobility/Hearing Access, Roll-In Shwr) | 1 King Bed |
Best if you want a balcony and a view: Deluxe Room, Resort View (Balcony) and Room, with Sofa bed, Balcony
If an outdoor seat matters, choose Deluxe Room, Resort View (Balcony) when available; it pairs a resort-facing outlook with a private balcony. The Room, with Sofa bed, Balcony is a near-equivalent option when you also need a daytime seating/sleeping area.
Balconies let you step outside for Crescent Lake or resort-site views and can make late evenings or early mornings more pleasant than a window-only room. Not all resort-view rooms have identical vistas — some face hotel buildings and gardens rather than the lake.
- Deluxe Room, Resort View (Balcony): Resort view with private balcony
- Room, with Sofa bed, Balcony: King bed plus double sofa bed and balcony — better for families needing daytime seating
- Best for: guests who want outdoor space without upgrading to a suite
| Room name | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Room, Resort View (Balcony) | Private balcony, resort views |
| Room, with Sofa bed, Balcony | Sofa bed plus balcony for families |
Best for families: Room, with Sofa bed and 2 Queen Bed Traditional Rooms
Families often prefer a Room, with Sofa bed (1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed) or the 2 Queen Bed version of the Traditional Room so sleeping arrangements are clear and comfortable. The sofa bed gives a daytime seating area that converts to extra sleeping space without booking a separate room.
The Swan amenities — Triplex Access to the shared Grotto Pool complex, kids’ pool, and Crescent Lake beach — pair well with family rooms, since pools and dining are all on-site and easy to reach from any room type.
- Room, with Sofa bed: 1 King Bed + 1 Double Sofa Bed — good for families who need an extra sleeping surface
- Traditional Room (2 Queen Beds): simple, lower-cost two-bed layout
- Families also get access to shared pool complex and on-site dining options
| Family option | Best when |
|---|---|
| Room, with Sofa bed | You want a sofa by day and extra bed at night |
| Traditional Room (2 Queen Beds) | You need two fixed beds without a sofa |
Best accessible rooms: Traditional Room (Mobility/, Tub) and Traditional Room (Mobility/Hearing Access, Roll-In Shwr)
If you need accessibility features, book one of the named accessible room types. Traditional Room (Mobility/, Tub) and Traditional Room (Mobility/Hearing Access, Roll-In Shwr) are offered with accessible fixtures and layouts.
The property provides other accessible services — accessible parking, pool lifts or sloped entry, and a wheelchair-accessible registration desk and spa — but make sure to request specific room features when you reserve to match mobility or hearing needs.
- Traditional Room (Mobility/, Tub): mobility features with tub
- Traditional Room (Mobility/Hearing Access, Roll-In Shwr): roll-in shower and hearing-access features
- Confirm specific accessibility details with the hotel before arrival
| Room name | Accessible feature |

| Traditional Room (Mobility/, Tub) | Mobility features; tub |
| Traditional Room (Mobility/Hearing Access, Roll-In Shwr) | Roll-in shower; hearing-access accommodations |
Best value and simple option: Room, Resort View and Traditional Room (2 Queen Beds)
Room, Resort View (1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds) and the standard Traditional Room with 2 Queen Beds are the straightforward value choices. These rooms keep you on the property’s typical floor plan while sometimes costing less than balcony or specialty rooms.
A resort view room gives more natural light and a window-facing outlook without the higher price of a balcony; pick the 2 Queen Beds layout if your party needs two full beds.
- Room, Resort View: 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds — window facing resort areas
- Traditional Room (2 Queen Beds): widely available and family-friendly
- Good for travelers who want a full room but don’t need outdoor space
| Room name | Beds |
|---|---|
| Room, Resort View | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
| Traditional Room (2 Queen Beds) | 2 Queen Beds |
Suites and space: when to contact the hotel
The Swan’s public materials emphasize the core guest-room categories listed on its site; if you need a true multi-room suite, contact the hotel or BookResorts agents to ask about suite options or connecting rooms. The property has larger meeting and event spaces, and some guests combine multiple rooms for extra space.
If you want a room with a living area or formal suite layout, discuss availability at booking and ask the front desk at check-in about possible upgrades — availability and exact layouts vary, so the hotel can confirm current options.
- Ask the hotel or your booking agent about connecting rooms or any available suites
- Specify needs (extra bed, crib, rollaway, room adjacency) when reserving to improve the chances of assignment
| When to call | What to request |
|---|---|
| Need more living space | Ask about suite inventory or connecting rooms |
| Traveling as a group | Request adjacent or connecting rooms |
