All Star Suites - JUst Back - LOVED IT!

[Partyof12]

We just had a grand gathering of 14 people in three suites and one regular room at the All Star Music. We all loved it. It was the first time any of us stayed on-site and we will definitely do it again. The buses were great for the most part. I just wish you had some idea when the bus was coming. I know they are every 20 minutes or so but we didn't know which 20 minutes and we seemed to keep missing them/ One time we had to wait 45 minutes leaving MK. With 5 children aged 4 years and younger and one pregnant mom, it was not fun on the bus stop that long.

But we did love the All Star Resort and the extra nightime hours in MK. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the hotel.

Where were your suites located?

We were in the Jazz 2 building facing the parking lot. Very quiet but still close to everything. We were all on the ground floor - so much easier with all the strollers.

Hi...glad you had a good time. My questions are....Did they assign you a building or not? We are going to be staying in a Suite at ASMu next August and I was wondering if they were close to the pool, parking, buses etc...Is the ground floor the best to have with kids? How was the Food Court? Were the rooms pretty good in size? Thanks for any info.

We were in the All Star Music Jazz 2 building rooms 2411 (standard room) 2414, 2416 and 2428 (suites) They were on the ground floor (much easier with strollers) on the parking lot side (much quieter than pool side) It was a very short walk to pool, food court and buses. The rooms were lovely and everyone was comfortable. The suites had plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children each. We would definitely stay there again.
