Our third trip to CSR was a good one. Our room was in Casitas 4, 2nd floor.
The reviews, the Pros:
-room available early-1:30pm on our check-in day, we had a continuing reservation and didn't need to transfer to another room
-very close to Bus Stop 2
-quiet, except for noisy neighbors our first night (they arrived back from the parks after midnight with lots of running, door slamming and yelling to each other
)
-quick walk to El Centro (less than 5 minutes) and the Main pool (less than 10 minutes?)
-queen beds
-mousekeeping did a great job
-still amazed by the excellent bus service, especially when leaving the parks. The CSR bus stop is so close to the park exits. Rarely had to wait for a bus, and never rode a bus that was too crowded. On two occasions, we were the only people on the bus
!
-Pepper Market food was great!
-Swam in the Main pool our last night, around dinner time. Water was nice and warm, pool not too crowded, and friendly life guards on duty. (We knew there was snow waiting for us back home, so we really appreciated a nice warm swim).
-No problems with any convention people.
The Cons:
-the "Quiet Pool" was closed and being worked on our first couple days. On check-in day, the front desk made no mention of the closing -only that the pool closed at 9:00pm
. Thankfully, our first couple of days were cooler, so we weren't looking to swim.
-We don't really spend lots of time at the room, but the view was disappointing. We were looking at a courtyard, that somehow managed to be less attractive than the parking lot view we had last year.
Summary:
We still love
CSR and wish we were there right now!
