I stayed at ASMu before Pop or Movies were available. This was the first time I actually felt a class difference in the Disney Service as an onsite guest. I have stayed at Carribbean Beach back when that was the budget hotel and had a better experience then ASMu.

The rooms at AllStar are small. There were 4 adults and we were on top of each other all the time. Fortunately, we were only there overnight. But with that in mind - we had very minimal luggage, just overnight bags and we were still crampped. I would not reccommend these rooms for 4 adults. Adults and kids may be fine.

The next comment is that this is really just a motel. Think of any Howard Johnson, Days Inn or Motel 6 you'd find traveling on 95 and this is what you get. Granted you are still on Disney property so that is a plus but the rooms are really nothing special and rather noisy. My other really BIG problem with the room was the smell. There was some sort of automatic airfreshner in the room that was just awful. I'm really sensetive to smells and got an instant headache walking into the room. Thankfully our stay was only one night. Honeslty I don't think I would have been able to stay longer than that.

In terms of the class difference I noted earlier, this was mostly in reference to the bus service. We were waiting at one of the theme parks and ALL THE OTHER resorts had shaded areas to wait. The ASMu resort had exposed benches just blazing in the summer sun. And the bus drop off/pickup locations were the furtherest distance from the park entrance. As we sat in the scorching sun waiting for our bus at least 3 buses for the Poly and Grand Fl came by. I suppose if I spent more money to stay in one of those resorts I'd expect a few perks. The funny thing is I never felt that way when I stayed in the CBR and I stayed there for 10 days compared to just 1 at AllStar.

My other problem with this resort is it's size. After a long day in the park you now have a HIKE to get to your room. If you can - get a preferred room!

I did stay there a long time ago and hopefully some of these comments have been corrected.

I don't think I'd stay here again. I'd upgrade to a Moderate or save money and do a budget off property.

All in all the room was clean. If you go into it with an open mind and just expecting a room and nothing more than it would be fine.
