We spent one night at ASMovies last weekend, and I wanted to share our thoughts.
This is our second stay at ASMo (first was 10 nights during Hurricane Jeanne in 2004), and our 7th stay at a value resort. We were in Toy Story section, Woody building, I don't remember the room number, but it was on the back side of the building on the third floor.
We checked in on a Saturday morning, around 10:00. There was not a line to check in, we went right to a CM. She was very nice, activated our magic bands and said they would work at CSR when we checked in the next day as well (they did, and we had done online checkin there). The check-in process only took a few minutes. She couldn't give us our room number, as the room wasn't ready, but I asked if she could tell us what area to park our car in, and she did. I had requested Toy Story, and that's what we were given! We were only staying one night, and the room location really didn't matter, but it was nice because that is where we had stayed when our boys were little and just nice to remember that trip. They had been 3 and 18 months on that trip, and they are now 15 and 13.
Anyway, we found our room very easily from the parking lot, and it was pretty close to the parking lot; very convenient, as we used our own car. Our room was clean when we got there, no dirt, no mold in the bathroom, no funky smell, no issues at all. We would have been content to stay there the rest of the trip if the room was just a little bigger (to accommodate all the stuff we brought) or if our boys were a little smaller--they won't share a bed, so one had an air mattress.
We didn't use the pool or food court, but we did take a walk around the resort, and it looked great to me. We didn't use the buses either, but as we were leaving on Sunday morning, we passed several buses, and each one was marked for just one All Star resort; they weren't sharing that early in the morning for park opening, which has always been our experience.
