The French Quarter is my FAVORITE moderate resort!! I have stayed at both POFQ & POR and hands down it's the French Quarter.
It is small and compact, so it is easy to get everywhere here. There is only one bus stop (versus 5 at POR). At times, it shares it's buses with POR, but always picks up and drops off at POFQ first. The grounds are quaint and I love the architectural details around this resort. The beingets are made hot and fresh while you wait and are truly sinful. I have found the staff to be more than friendly and accomadating. The hot tub is tucked away from the pool amoungst high hedges, so you feel the privacy there. The greeter is always so friendly that you can't wait to go back, just to see his smiling face! This is the only moderate I will stay at.
I find POR spread way too far out for my taste. It felt like it was a hike to get anywhere, especially to the main building & foodcourt. As I don't rent cars while I am there, the multiple bus stops around the resort can get very annoying. Had some bad experiences with the staff (both at check-in and with housekeeping). Found the room had not been touched at 3pm in the afternoon multiple days and that the rug had not been vacuumed in quite some time.
