You get what you pay for. If you’re only in the room to sleep this hotel is worth every penny. The addition of the skylines really helps because the busses here IMO were very slow and very crowded. Pool was just that a pool, serving it’s purpose.
Pros:
Price. Skyliner.Cons:

Based on our April 2020 stay with 2 Adults, no kids
If you're on a budget this place will give you an updated and clean place to stay, Fer Shure.
I loved all the characters and theming all over the resort. Some of the music was funny to hear because it seemed out of place at Disney.
We had paid for a Preferred room, which means close to the lobby not the Skyliner FYI. Being close to the lobby was great for transportation via bus since it’s all in one place.
The room was smaller than a standard hotel room and there wasn’t much space to put your things accept for under the bed. I liked some of the storage to the side of the vanity but found the vanity itself awkward to use and get ready. Plus there’s only one sink. There’s also a gap under the camode/shower room door that allows you to hear everything happening in there…
The food court was generic but consistent, however I had multiple problems with mobile order. We decided to hop on the Skyliner one afternoon and picked up dinner at the Riviera QS instead.
We like to enjoy the pool during our stays and these were all busy and quite a walk from our room.
Pros:
Easy bus system, Skyliner AccessCons:

This is a great value resort. We stayed in August 2017. It has dedicated buses, and now the skyliner. Pools are big and theming is good for a value resort.
Pros:
Dedicated buses Low price Good counter service foodCons:

Hotel was fine your typical value resort. We stayed in the 80's section and enjoyed the theming. Cast members were great. Food court food was nothing special. Pizza might have been the worst pizza on property. Having the sky liner was a huge value to this resort. Would recommend for a family stay not for couples.
Pros:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this resort! Stayed here Nov. 2020 during the height of covid. Although the food options were minimal and there was no self-serve beverage stations, the location next to the skyliner and refurbished rooms made it completely worth every penny. Can’t wait for my next trip in April 2022!
Pros:
Location with Skyliner Access, Beautiful refurbished rooms (No Carpet!!!), Price for on-site Disney hotel.Cons:
Not really anythingReviewed by TeamMolly Review Date: 07/14/2021

We stayed here in June 2021. We end up staying in the 90's theme section. I couldn't believe how far away it was from the center hub. Although the rooms were a bit on the smaller size, it was very clean. It was nice to have the small refrigerator. The beds were comfortable and we had alot of pillows to choose from. Having the Skyliner at the resort was a plus! My only complaint was that the pool was filled with so many bugs.
Pros:
comfortable bed, so many charging ports in the rooms, and SkylinerCons:
too many bugs in the pool and a bit far from the center hubReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/03/2021

We did a 5-night stay in May and were very happy with the resort. The room was clean, and the front desk was helpful. They were able to help get a reservation at Chef Mickey.
Pros:
SkylinerCons:
No ice cream in the food court. Lines for the bus in the morning longReviewed by DisneyMama714 Review Date: 06/23/2021

Perfect if you plan on not staying at the resort a lot.
Pros:
SkylinerCons:
Pool view rooms are very noisy, walls are very thin, fridge in room isn't really a fridge but more like a cooler, rooms are tiny.Reviewed by ShannonMc Review Date: 06/09/2021

Great location and price. I love that it’s on the sky liner as well as close enough to mk, ak, and Disney springs to drive to or catch a bus. My family drove to these parks so that we could catch the monorail at magic kingdom and have the best use of all transportation offerings that Disney offers!
Pros:
Great location in proximity to all the parks. It’s on the sky liner. It’s refurbishment gives the rooms a little more space.Cons:
The pool area can be loud, you can hear the neighbors in surrounding rooms, and I hit my shin on the Murphy bed several times in the middle of the night during our stay..although the refurbs provide more room during the day, not so much at night. Also some of the charging ports didn’t work that great and the shower door wouldn’t close completely.Reviewed by AidanMcG Review Date: 06/05/2021

This is the most recent of our many stays at Pop Century and we loved our stay. There were so many good things to talk about and our room was extremely close to the main lobby as well as the bus station but the skyliner station was a bit of a hike. The one reason that I don’t give the resort a perfect review is the luggage assistance. Despite whether there were 2 guests or 10 guests in front of us we always waited at least 15 minutes to drop our bags off or pick them up no matter how many cast members were there. The food was your typical Disney resort food and everything was passable other than the spaghetti and meatballs which was awful. The room was spacious enough for what we paid and we got everything I expected from this resort.
