SSR gets bashed here regularly and I'm not really sure why. We are DVC members and that's our home resort. We've stayed there several times and at other resorts as well. Negatives? It's a long bus ride to most places except DS. If you are not at one of the first bus stops you may be standing. I know a lot of people complain about the quality of the rooms, but we've never had a big issue. Positives? You're in Disney! It's a boat ride or nice walk to DS. Most of the unit clusters have a pool, so you can find a peaceful place to sit in the sun. QS is fine for a snack. Did I say you're in Disney?
Post almost any question looking for opinions here and you'll get positive and negative responses. That's OK, we're all different so we have different feelings on the same issues. My opinion is don't put too much stock in the opinions. I have a feeling if you go with an open mind you will enjoy it, no matter where you stay. After all, you're in Disney!
