If you get 2 rooms there is no guarantee the rooms would be adjoiniing or close to each other, in a suite you'd all be in the same rooms.

In rooms there are 2 double beds, 1 table & 2 chairs. In a suite there is 1 queen, a couch that folds out to a double bed, a chair and ottoman that fold out to twins, one table with 2 chairs.

In a suite you get a small kitchen area with fridge coffee pot and microwave.

I think the extra cost is about what a fridge for a room would cost.

Choose by what's more important to you.

In the suite, there are also 2 bathrooms, 2 safes and 2 TV's. I believe there is a chair and dresser in the bedroom.

2 rooms at the Values are approx $164/night during value season and the Suite is $184/night. The good thing with the suite, you do not pay the extra $10/night for extra adults in the room. Of course, you wouldn't pay that with 2 rooms, but as the PP said you are not guaranteed connecting rooms.

If I was traveling with another family, I would rather be guaranteed that we will be close together, especially if each family has 1 child each.

Here is a post from minnie61650 that has all the info you will ever need about the ASMu Suites

that you'll get connecting rooms-- but--- in 25 trips over the last 7 years (OMG i didnt realize it was that many till we sat down and really thought about it just now!!!)-- we've only just a few times not ended up with connecting rooms and even in those we were next door to each other. They're pretty good about getting you together!

In the Suites, most of your adults would be in pull-outs; in separate rooms, they would be in Full Sized beds.

I didn't see you mention when you are thinking of taking your trip, but just thought that I would add this...You can get a AAA discount for the ASMu suites. I have 14 nights reserved at ASMu suites for the first two weeks of October(we'll actually only stay for 7 nights, so I will cancel 7 of the nights once the kids' school schedule is approved). We used the AAA discount, so our average per night is $208, INCLUDING all the crazy taxes. I believe our actual rate is about $179 a night, but again, it ends up more when all of the resort taxes are added on. I don't think this is bad at all. We have stayed twice at POFQ with two connecting rooms, so we are actually used to paying a lot more than this. We are very excited about ASMu Suites! The included refrigerator and microwave are sort of a big deal to us because we eat all of our breakfasts in our room and keep water bottles, juice boxes, etc. in our fridge.
