Went 8/13 to 8/20. Room 3416 in the 50's section facing the lake.
After staying at the Contemporary last year and going value this year, I did not have duluxe expectations. I was not disappointed!
Myth 1 - Too much noise/walls are paper thin and you hear everything. Didn't hear much noise above the typical noise level in a hotel room.
Myth 2 - Room is too small - we are a family of 4 and packed for 8 days. We had enough room for luggage and drawer space for clothes. Would I have preferred a queen sized bed for my wife and I? Sure! However, the double beds were satisfactory.
Myth 3 - The matresses are like sleeping on rocks, etc. The mattresses were fine. No problems sleeping.
Myth 4 - Hear constant toilet flushing from other rooms. Heard a few here and there, but were hardly noticable.
Check in was efficient. They did not have my room requests in my reservation which was a little disturbing, but we got exactly what we wanted in terms of room location.
Our location gave us decent access to the parking lot and Classic Hall. The pools were clean; lifeguards attentive. All three pools were pretty cool.
Mousekeeping was good. We got our first towel animals ever! We ended up with 3 for our 8 day stay.
Overall the grounds were clean and neat and landscaping manicured.
Classic Hall food offerings - we had breakfast most days at POP, a few lunches and 1 dinner. Food offerings were what I expected after reading threads on this board. The refillable mugs are a bargin! The floors around the refill stations in the evenings tended to get a little sticky, but given the volume of people refilling all the time that is to be expected. The quality was satisfactory. Most of our lunch and dinner dining was in the parks and other resorts.
The reason we selected POP was based on our touring plan. We did not plan on staying at the resort much. We tend to get to the parks when they open and stay until they close. We altered that strategy somewhat on this trip because of the heat.
I really don't have anything negative to say about POP.
Would I stay there again? I would say YES!
BTW it was hotter than hell!!!
Any specific questions or comments let me know.
