Just sharing my two cents on this resort...
I stayed here for the first time in November 2017, it was an overall good experience. I had requested a renovated room for just two adults, but we did not get one. It was my mom and I, so we wanted two beds, not sure if that may have factored into the equation. The older room we had was ok, but the bathroom seemed very dated. Everything was clean. I'd definitely come back.
I stayed at All Star Sports in December 2017 for two nights, that place is as bad as people say on Yelp. It was out of control with the school groups, COMPLETELY different from Pop which was so quiet. I did have a room facing a wooded area, but the second night I had some rowdy adults outside my room. The room here had a funky odor. I'd try to avoid this hotel if possible.
I don't plan my trips here too far in advance, so I just take what I can get with the All Stars.
I am about a 3 hour drive from WDW, so when I come it's only for maybe 2-3 nights. If I was doing more than that I'd probably stay off property in a place with a W/D.
