Just back from AoA stay in Cars suites. We had ground floor room in building 3 close to the main pool. Very glad we had ground floor, especially after long days at the parks. Couple of things we were unhappy with:
1. Air conditioner - default setting is 74. I tried the tips listed on this thread to override the thermostat, but they didn't work. We had to call maintenance to get the thermostat lowered to 65. It got quite chilly ( DH loved it ) overnight, but whenever we came back to the room, it was back at 74. Took about an hour to cool off.
2. Hot water wasn't HOT. We like hot showers, but the temp never got high enough for us. On an early morning ADR, I had to run the water for 15-20 minutes before it even got lukewarm. No chance of scalding the little ones!
3. As a family of 5, we typically have stayed at deluxe or DVC resorts. It was never explained to us that the maximum we could charge to the room was $500. Quite embarrassing when trying to make a purchase and having it denied. We found out later that the maximums are $500/$1000/$1500 for values/mods/deluxes, respectively. Since we have never reached our limit on previous trips, we were unaware that there was even a limit. I think we should have at least been informed at check-in.
4. Noticeable differences between the deluxes and values are no pool towels, small/thin bath towels, single ply toilet paper, and thinner sheets. Comforter was heavy and stiff too.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. I was glad we had 2 bathrooms and a separate master bedroom. DH was less impressed and vows to go back to a deluxe resort. We will see whether cost or preference wins out he next time...
Happy to answer any additional questions.
