Just got back from stay 12-28 to 1-3-13. Had a king room in Building 7 of Little Mermaid. Great room on 3rd floor in back facing Hourglass lake and Pop Century. Long walk to Animation Hall and bus stop and main pool.
Room has motion sensor thermostat so room got hot in middle of night. when I got up it turned air on. Food court was crowded at times but ok.
Will probably stay at Pop Century again next time.
If you stay in a suite up front, you will be ok.
Pros:
Nice decorations, Big pool, New roomsCons:

Even with an ADR, you can wait quite a while...however, it's worth it! The mushroom risotto is amazing - I dream about it. The wait staff is wonderful and will tell you all about their home towns and answer any questions. It's our favorite part of the meal. I notice that younger kids aren't as happy there - but with teens and adults - it's amazing! I was there on my birthday and there was no special treatment - so don't expect that for a special occasion!
Pros:

Ate here as part of Candle Light Dinner package on Dec 29, 2012. Did not have to wait long as was not that crowded. Our seating was in back row by kitchen door. Our waitress Flo was great. Salad and rolls were great. Food came out a little fast. First serving was very small and asked for more right of way. 2nd serving took a while to come out. A lot of characters walked by but did not stop. We did get a few pics though. Would request front seating if we do again. Only problem was when we paid bill, we did not get our passes for the Candle Light Processional. When I went back, I had to pay $30.00 more.
Pros:
Quality of food.Cons:

I ate here on 1/7/13 and thought it was fantastic! We had a reservation at 5:40, and we checked in just after 5 and were on our way up the elevator to the restaurant. We were seated around 5:40 by a very nice man who explained the restaurant to us since none of us had ever dined here before. Our waitress was VERY knowledgeable of the menu and was happy to explain some dishes to us. We ended up ordering three appetizers to share between the three of us. My favorite was definitely the Spicy Kazan Roll. We each had our own entree, but I sampled some of my parent's food. My dad's pork tenderloin was very well cooked and had amazing flavor. My mom had the scallops which were fantastic. I had the Dragon sushi Roll which I didn't care for. I'd rather have more of the Kazan Roll. Our waitress kept our glasses of water full and would check in on us after we received our food. The icing on the cake was the observation deck for Wishes. Our meal ended 45 minutes before Wishes started so we decided to just hang out on the deck and peacefully wait for Wishes. It was the best meal I've had on property!

We just stayed there during the holidays. Friendly, nice pool area, beds ok, I have had more comfortable. I just thought it was too far away from all the parks except AK. If I was doing resort only, then I would go back. The savana was awesome we loved the animals.
Pros:
pool, friendly CM's and Savana (loved the Zebras and GiraffesCons:

The corn dog nuggets are absolutely delicious. We usually get them as a snack to eat as we're leaving the park.
We've eaten here at least 10 times and we've only found a seat once. We usually have to walk a ways off before we can find a spot to sit down.
Pros:
quick linesCons:
very little seatingReview of Columbia Harbour House

Our first time staying at club level proved to be very rewarding. We saved a ton of money and time partaking of the club level offerings for breakfasts,beverages, evening appetizers and desserts. The food offerings were varied and very fresh. Everyone in our group found something they just adored when ever we would venture into the lounge for a bite to eat. The staff was extremely attentive to all requests and they seemed very happy to be of service.
My husband did a cost/benefit analysis of staying at club level and he was able to determine that we were saving a small amount of money paying for club level versus paying out of pocket for all the breakfasts, snacks, beverages and beer at Disney prices. We spent far less money in the parks for these items because we utilized the offerings in the club lounge. The convenience of just grabbing breakfast in the morning was a real time and energy saver and having food offerings at different times of the day meant that not everyone was nailed to the same eating schedule. I was also very happy to see the end of half eaten dinners in our family as those of us who were not hungry opted just to wait for the desserts that came out at 8pm and not order a big entree for dinner that sat mostly uneaten.
In addition to saving money we were also pleased with the effort put forth on our behalf from the club level staffers. The responded kindly and efficiently to every request and they made us feel very welcome. Our room was found to be very clean and in good working order. We only had a small problem with our TV service being knocked out after a storm. The maintenance staff responded quickly to our problem and tracked the dysfunction down to a burned out relay which was promptly replaced. Housekeeping was excellent as well. We requested an 11:00am cleaning which was honored every day and we had no trouble at all communicating with our housekeeper via written notes about the need for extra towels or bath products.
Staying Club Level at the Beach Club was money well spent and the added convenience made for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. I have no reservations in recommending others consider this wonderful resort club level for their next Disney vacation.
Pros:
Excellent service, room clean, convenient locationCons:

Best buffet for breakfast and lunch for the price! We love this place. Even if not staying at Coronado (my favorite moderate resort) we take a bus just to eat here.
