Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

The parking lot at the Dolphin was being used for some kind of construction project. This forced us to park at the Swan (we had to check with the front desk to see what we should do) and walk to the Dolphin. Ordinarily this would not be a huge but when we are being charged $40 per night to park onsite I would like the process to be hassle free. It was not.
