I've stayed at both Pop & AoA Suites 3 times each. I always took the bath mat and shoe organizer to Pop but never really felt the need for them in the suites at AoA. YMMV. There is quite a bit of storage (in my opinion) in the suites. Both bathrooms have a large shelf under the sink. We each have a toiletry bag with our personal items as well as one large toiletry bag with extra things so we just store those on the shelf under the sink and use the items from there. As far as the bath mat (I'm assuming you mean the non-slip kind you put in the tub). I've always showered in the walk-in shower in the master bedroom in the suite which certainly didn't need a bath mat. I just asked my kids if they feel the bathtub in the other bathroom was slippery. They said "no" (and while I don't remember for sure, I probably checked this the first time we stayed in a suite and decided a bath mat was not necessary when we stay there so I took it off the packing list). I'll mention that my youngest child is 11 so if your kids are very young, it might not hurt to take one along just in case.
