Bathroom
90- “the shower thing is right there so you have to like get in the shower and get blasted with freezing cold water first but at the end of the day it's a very nice good sized shower I mean I can't really complain” 75:51
- “Like all other Moderates, French Quarter rooms feature a split bath, with double sinks outside and the toilet and shower/tub in a separate room. This separated setup is nice, save for the size of the toilet/shower room, which puts the closet in water closet.” 1

90Room
91- “The Sheraton is probably my favorite of the big hotels in New Orleans. It is very large (and tall), but if you can get a room on the river side, has amazing views of the river (and the cruise ships!).” 3
- “As part of the 2025 hard goods refurbishment, the bathroom floor has been redone and now features a mosaic pattern in the color scheme of the entire room, tying the whole redesign together. This looks fantastic, and again helps the room counter the bland/boring/beige accusations.” 1
Service
87- “The swimming pools at French Quarter are a blast for kids! We just loved the dragon slide, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for families!” 10
- “The service has the laid-back formality that W does so well. The staff know what's happening all over town and can recommend dining beyond their own restaurant.” 5

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The bed is comfortable; the room is clean and quiet at night.” 12
- “Staff weren't great, the room had a terrible layout.” 12
- “While not relevant to us, it would've been nice if the table were a little larger, as there's not enough space for 3-4 people to use this at the same time. There's barely enough room for 2.” 1
- “The Sheraton is probably my favorite of the big hotels in New Orleans. It is very large (and tall), but if you can get a room on the river side, has amazing views of the river (and the cruise ships!).” 3
- “As always, French Quarters scores points for its convenience, compact layout, and single bus stop-as opposed to the internal loops at all other Moderate Resorts.” 1
- “The plain white bedding without a runner or any accentuation looks just as sterile as everywhere else (I really wish Disney would rethink this), but at least the room has other New Orleans flourishes.” 1
- “Our room was on the corner with a king bed, which was nice for the extra window and view of the grounds. Our only disappointment was the lack of a couch (two chairs and the tiny table instead) - thanks to the beveled corner and the connecting door, I guess there was no room for the couch.” 1
- “There are also new lighting sconces above each bed, as well as fold-out reading lights flanking each side of each headboard. For me, these are improvements over what was there before, giving more personality and pops of color to the rooms to counter the bland/boring/beige complaint, while also classing them up a bit.” 1
- “You get a little of the cruising the bayou feel, and see some stuff you don't usually see otherwise, like the treehouse rooms and a closeup of one of the golf courses. Our room was on the corner with a king bed, which was nice for the extra window and view of the grounds.” 1
- “The AC enclosure has also been repainted to match the dresser. We really like the sofa, which can easily seat 3 adults or maybe a family of 4. From a function perspective, it's an improvement.” 1
- “The two chairs and table was nice for us based on our preferences. The room was lovely though.” 1
- “even this is a super nice display for your AC and there's no window unit or anything it's like all built in up here” On camera73:38
- “As part of the 2025 hard goods refurbishment, the bathroom floor has been redone and now features a mosaic pattern in the color scheme of the entire room, tying the whole redesign together. This looks fantastic, and again helps the room counter the bland/boring/beige accusations.” 1
- “Easy walk to all the action if that is what you are looking for. We liked the Bourbon Orleans--a perfect location in the French Quarter.” 12
- “The hotel is on the edge of the French Quarter, but only a couple streets away from Bourbon st., so location is good for that but further from the river area, Downtown, and trolleys to the garden district.” 12
- “Great location. That Homewood is just past the outter edge of where I feel comfortable walking down there.” 3
- “literally Bourbon Street is about a half mile down this road right here so it's super close to all the action” On camera72:02
- “Both hotels are also only about a 4 or 5 min stroll to Bourbon Street. That having been said, I would choose the Sheraton, as it is more centrally located to attractions along the riverfront and into the warehouse and garden districts.” 3
- “100% Sheraton on Canal for me. Great hotel. Great location.” 3
- “The boat to Springs is always a nice change of pace. You get a little of the cruising the bayou feel, and see some stuff you don't usually see otherwise, like the treehouse rooms and a closeup of one of the golf courses.” 1
- “The swimming pools at French Quarter are a blast for kids! We just loved the dragon slide, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for families!” 10
- “there is a nice I'd say this is about a 40. no this is about a 50 inch TV my only complaint is my TV has not worked the whole time” On camera72:48
- “The service has the laid-back formality that W does so well. The staff know what's happening all over town and can recommend dining beyond their own restaurant.” 5
- “Everyone was nice, helpful, and useful.” 1
- “Very nice resort but customer service was terrible. Could not get anyone to clean our room. Employees just stood around talking to each other.” 1
- “I usually stayed at the Westin Canal Place. Right at the edge of the French Quarter. Very quiet at night. Great views of the river.” 12
- “If you will have a car, we enjoyed Rose Manor B&B for the quiet, the free parking ... and the cooked-to-order breakfasts!” 12
- “Yes there's the beignet traffic but it's a much quieter lobby and food court than others.” 1
- “I usually stayed at the Westin Canal Place. Right at the edge of the French Quarter. Very quiet at night.” 12
- “Traylaparks suggested the Frenchmen's Hotel on Frenchmen's Street. I love the street and would have loved our stay there, had it been a better hotel. I expected noise, but not loud pop music played all day and most of the night.” 12
- “Or right across the street from the casino if that is more your interest. Also stayed a few times at what is now called the Omni Royal Orleans. Antique building but well maintained and well fitted with modern conveniences in the hotel.” 12
- “other than the fact that the light was way too dumb in the bathroom and the TV didn't work I hated that the TV didn't work I can live without the light just leave the door open” On camera78:03
- “Like all other Moderates, French Quarter rooms feature a split bath, with double sinks outside and the toilet and shower/tub in a separate room. This separated setup is nice, save for the size of the toilet/shower room, which puts the closet in water closet.” 1

- “Marriott Bonvoy members get free Wi-Fi; otherwise, there's a charge. It was perfectly fine.” 5
- “I stayed at the Villa Convento a few years ago. At that price point, we were able to afford the most expensive room and it was great.” 12
- “I got the king room for 4 nights. I paid $529 so that is pro.” 12
- “The beds are also now elevated and on wood frames, with space for luggage storage underneath. In the cramped Moderate and Value Resorts, this is a huge gain.” 1
- “loved the breakfast it was different each day that was great” On camera79:33
- “The menu celebrates Creole and Cajun influences in an innovative way-think whimsical, seasonal takes on beignets.” 5
- “I was really expecting more from the dining options at French Quarter. For a place that prides itself on its New Orleans theme, the lack of authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine was disappointing.” 10
- “📌 Our Verdict: A great option for those who prioritize charm, ease of navigation, and Mickey beignets! Although the food court does offer mobile ordering, some of the best dishes are often only available if you order in person.” 10
- “now let's actually eat but I'd say a pretty nice included breakfast though yes and there's plenty of coffee options everything you need for coffee regular coffee decaf some hot water” On camera76:57
- “I usually stayed at the Westin Canal Place. Right at the edge of the French Quarter. Very quiet at night. Great views of the river. Excellent food.” 12
- “Then there's the high quality Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory, which is one of the better food courts at Walt Disney World.” 1
- “Employees just stood around talking to each other. Food not great either. Probably wi t use this resort again.” 1
- “Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory is the food court. It's small, but has better food than you'll find at many food courts, including Cajun dishes.” 10
- “We stayed at FQ this summer for the first time since '04, and liked the room and the ambiance of the grounds. We found the food options satisfactory, and were over the moon about the beignets!” 1
- “It's small, but has better food than you'll find at many food courts, including Cajun dishes. You'll find Mickey beignets at Scat Cat's Club Café which is 1 of our fave perks of staying here.” 10
- “Large murals with tarot card details dominated the walls and the Starwood Signature bed was a welcome, cozy touch.” 5
- “LaMothe House on Esplanade was great but a bit out of the way for the rest of the Quarter.” 12
- “other than that I mean the bed was comfy the silver full fridge that was pretty cool yeah full like kitchenette so this is the sweet stuff was nice too” On camera78:17
