To get the most bang for your buck I think I’d choose the Riviera. Restaurants there look great, new rooms and the Skyliner as well.

I agree with this! Although I have always wondered about staying at GF.
Personally though I would pick Animal Kingdom Lodge in a Savanna view room. |

Goodness me that's awful! No wonder you ended up so highly comped, although very sorry you had to endure such a bad experience.
I was thinking, can you use the nights on a DVC room? Someone else mentioned Riviera which actually I would choose that over GF. Would love to stay there some day. Where would you be staying on the rest of your trip? We like to have part of our trip near MK, and park by Epcot / HS. So I would base it on where you are spending the rest of the time. |

Never thought about Riviera, isnt on the list of Resorts in the T&Cs, but the resort wasnt open at the time so you never know.

I'd consider Riviera too. It's on our bucket list (which, otherwise, includes Beach Club). If you've been to GF before then you could think of somewhere new.
With Riviera's link to the Skyliner you've got decent transport to two parks immediately, and then the Monorail to MK should you fancy! As mentioned, both Topolino's and Primo Piatto seem to be highly thought of too. What's not to love, eh? |

My top 2 are the Contemporary and the Yacht Club.
Theme park view in the main building. We did it over Christmas and it was amazing. The location is fabulous and the views are great. We went for this over an outer building room at GF. Yacht Club I much prefer to the Beach Club, like the theming, the rooms and public areas more. AKL is a lovely resort but the cheapest so I wouldn’t use your nights there. I’m not sure I’d stay at the Poly again, the public areas are mental and tbh I want somewhere where I don’t have to go outside to the food court etc. Not been to the Boardwalk but I’d happily have a stay there. WL I’d love to stay at but again it’s on the less pricey options of the resorts so I’d not go for that either. Can you pick room views? If so I’d go for contemporary, main building theme park or bay lake view, yacht club or Boardwalk lake views.

I have a soft spot for the Contemporary (childhood favourite) so that would be my choice out of the deluxes if you can book into the main building. Second choice Yacht Club. Love the rooms but I'm not an Epcot fan, so the location isn't a bonus for me.
But if I could choose anything around the same price as a basic GF room, I'd actually go with a tower deluxe suite at CSR. It's technically a moderate but because it's the convention resort, it has a much more upscale feel than other moderates. Upsides are lots more space in the room and club level access. Downside is it's a bus only resort but I stayed there shortly before the tower opened and had zero issues getting around. My next trip will either be a repeat CSR stay or might try Riviera.
