I've actually grown to love SSR. My first stay there was this past December and I was hesitant because I am always hearing bad reviews about it (too far, slow buses, etc) but had no choice because it was all that was available through DVC. Anyway, my daughter and I stayed there in the 1100 section which is near a walkway to Downtown Disney, and the bus stop was right there AND we had no issues with busses. Its a huge resort, but one time coming back from MK, I fell asleep and missed our stop so we had to walk back from the Paddock section and it was fine. Room was nice, comfy and the area was quiet. Granted it isn't close to anywhere except DTD, but we still had a fantastic time there. Im staying there again next month and totally looking forward to it. I hope you enjoy it!
