Hi, our family of 6 just returned from a 6 night stay in a 2br at SSR. this was our first stay at SSR, having stayed at BWV and OKW before. SSR is beautiful and very clean. They powerwashed the pool deck every morning we were there. The landscaping was gorgeous and our room 3412 and 3414 in the Springs was great. We ate at the Turf Club one night for dinner. The food was delicious but the service was okay, not great. I think they are trying. My only complaint was that the resort is poorly marked. We got lost the first night we were there. We got off at our busstop but it took a lot of walking to find our building. Also, we could never find the much advertised walkway to Downtown Disney. We never saw a single sign the whole week for the walkway. Even when we got on the walkway from DD, we had no idea when to get off the path to go to the Springs section. There were no signs. I found this very strange. Is it just me? We found ourselves cutting through bushes and walking on grass to get to our room. It was a bit disturbing. The main pool is beautiful. I wish we had spent more time by the pool. Also, the busses were on time, we didn't have to wait long, however sometimes we could not board due to overcrowding. I found that we had to wait an additional 20 minutes each time that happened. Give yourself an hour to get anywhere from this resort. Bus time took a big chunk of our trip. We tried to walk whenever we could, but as I stated, the walkway to DD was not marked. Even the internal bus stops around the resort were just too much bus time. Beautiful resort, I just would not want to stay here again if my primary reason was to visit the parks.
