I think they’re on all floors, I stayed in a top-floor family suite in January 2023.

Just finished a 5-night stay at ASM March 20th-25th. We booked a Preferred Room and were placed in Jazz building 2 ground floor on the end closest to the main pool. Location was far enough from the pool that noise and foot traffic was minimal but close enough that the lobby was only a 2-3 minute walk. No issues with the room except the shower water pressure wasn't great, and housekeeping was very delayed. They would not arrive to clean our room until around 4:30-5pm, and once woke us up during an afternoon nap even with the do not disturb tag outside the door.

We were worried about the bus-only transportation during the spring break crowds but had zero issues the entire stay! The All Star resorts each had their own busses all day and were efficient. The first bus of the day for each park arrived around 70-80 minutes before early entry. We would check the app for bus times when they first appeared, arrive a few minutes prior and never had too big of lines or missed the first bus. Never waited more than 15 minutes for a bus at any point in the trip. After park close, the lines were longer to get back to the resort but they would have busses nearly back-to-back which made it very smooth.

For anyone who believes the value resorts are nothing more than cheap sketchy motels, you could not be more wrong. The rooms are recently renovated and are far cleaner/well-maintained than the majority of hotels I've stayed at in recent years, and the entire property is well kept. If you are spending the majority of your trip in the parks, instead of booking Deluxe stay Value and use the savings on dining, souvenirs, Lightning Lane or another trip!

I have been telling people for years that once the "Values" finally got indoor plumbing,it made a world of difference.lol

I guess it will depend on the family, but I know for my family it would be a horrible vacation if we tried to squeeze 4 people in an all star regular room with 2 kids having to sleep in the same bed.

I haven't found it too bad. I've had my teenage boys share and while they didn't habe as much space as they were use to they were fine with it for 10 days. They would rather that then not go or go for a shorter period. We were even holed up for awhile because of a hurricane. When I was growing up it was normal for everyone I knew to share hotel beds with siblings on vacation. I think the only time it wouldn't work is if you had opposite gendered children after 10 or 11.
