The property features an attached restaurant, Mr. Ed's, and an indoor heated pool on the 10th floor with great city views.

Score breakdown
How the 76/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
83- “I showered after my morning runs and noted no issues with the shower. I was happy to be in Disney World, where I can almost always count on a clothesline in the shower.” 6
- “the bathroom is a tub shower combination and is a little on the small side it was clean and everything functioned properly” 54:24
Location
93- “Location was, for us, perfect. All the poppin parts of the quarter were a short walk, and it's less than a block away from canal st. So all the conveniences that accompany canal st were available.” 11
- “Location was, for us, perfect. All the poppin parts of the quarter were a short walk, and it's less than a block away from canal st.” 11
Room
78- “But the best bit is the one bus stop and smaller footprint - just two minutes to refill drinks and hit up the bakery from your room I'd so valuable after busy days at the park!!!” 20
- “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.” 20
Service
81Bed & Sleep
83- “Large murals with tarot card details dominated the walls and the Starwood Signature bed was a welcome, cozy touch.” 1
Value
76- “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.” 20
- “It's a big favorite for adults doing Disney World for this reason-it's a decent price, in fun but not childish theming, without quite the chaos of some other resorts at and below this price range (and probably with less chaos than some deluxe resorts).” 6

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “What we loved about the location is that the RTA trolley stops right outside the hotel. We were able to take it over to the French Quarter each day during our visit.” 15
- “Stay at the Omni. It's in a perfect location for a first time visitor.” 8
- “Situated where the Central Business District meets the French Quarter, the mid-range Wyndham New Orleans French Quarter offers an outstanding location for business travelers and tourists alike.” 21
- “The size of the resort with minimal walking there is much appreciated after the marathon walking in park that we do, close to 15 miles a day.” 20
- “Location is right in the French Quarter, but still quiet.” 14
- “Respectfully disagree with this comment, while I absolutely loved the location of the Omni and the rooftop the rooms felt suuuuuper outdated and small, the door closed in a really funky way and it just all around was musty AF.” 8
- “Location was, for us, perfect. All the poppin parts of the quarter were a short walk, and it's less than a block away from canal st. So all the conveniences that accompany canal st were available.” 11
- “Homewood Suites by Hilton on North Rampart is good, my wife and I have stayed there a few times. Good location on the northern border of the FQ.” 8
- “the intercontinental was close to everything” 11
- “The hotel is in a prime spot in the French Quarter, making it super easy to explore. You're within walking distance of famous spots like Jackson Square and the French Market.” 18
- “Only good thing about this place: its right around the block from Bourbon st.” 11
- “Location was, for us, perfect. All the poppin parts of the quarter were a short walk, and it's less than a block away from canal st.” 11
- “Only good thing about this place: its right around the block from Bourbon st. Other than that, I will never return here.” 8
- “Rooms on the 12th floor have a great view of the Mississippi. The neighborhood feels very secure.” 9
- “Wyndham New Orleans French Quarter Hotel offers prime location in a shopping, merely a 10-minute walk from the immense Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.” 19
- “Location is excellent. No breakfast included but a $15 discount is available at a restaurant nearby.” 9
- “Stay at the Omni. It's in a perfect location for a first time visitor. In-house restaurant and bar, amenities for children, one block from Jackson Square, right on Royal St. for walking and shopping, 3 blocks from Cafe du Monde, a close walk to Canal and Bourbon St., but still away enough for quiet” 8
- “Rooms pick up some noise from the street -- especially those on the lower floors -- as well as some mild ambient noise from the hallways and other rooms.” 21
- “I used to live near New Orleans and have been back several times. We stay at the Hotel Mazarin. We love it as there are two super cool bars next to it and the rooms, alrhough next to Bourbon street, are very quiet.” 16
- “Location is right in the French Quarter, but still quiet.” 14
- “Yes there's the beignet traffic but it's a much quieter lobby and food court than others.” 20
- “The most curious thing about this hotel was the actual building itself. The elevator only went to the 18th floor, then you'll get off and you'll catch another elevator for the top floors above the 18th floor.” On camera100:49
- “So all the conveniences that accompany canal st were available. We also liked that the hotel was a huge contrast from the party atmosphere of the quarter. The hotel was super quiet, which made resting and sleeping nice.” 11
- “Note that being in the French Quarter also means there will be some street noise, especially at night. Consider requesting a room away from the street if you're a light sleeper.” On camera180:40
- “The look is simple and somewhat generic: Cream walls and bright-white linens are accented by dark-brown carpeting offset by a few aqua-blue accents -- a splash of color that's sorely needed.” 21
- “Hotel Galerie is great. Staff is awesome.” 11
- “Everyone was nice and helpful.” 15
- “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.” 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.” 20
- “This 374-guestroom hotel located in the French Quarter and one block from the CBD, hotel provides valet parking, beautiful views from our 20-story high-rise hotel, an indoor/heated swimming pool, and over-the-top, service-oriented staff.” 22
- “When asked the manager to please have someone clean the room, we were met with, "Oh well yall gonna be leaving tomorrow so we feel we dont need to clean." I've NEVER heard such lousy treatment at a regular Hoilday Inn!!!” 8
- “Everyone was nice, helpful, and useful.” 20
- “When asked the manager to please have someone clean the room, we were met with, "Oh well yall gonna be leaving tomorrow so we feel we dont need to clean."” 11
- “Besides relying on bus transportation, its only obvious "shortcoming" is the lack of a table service restaurant-you'll have to walk to Riverside for that.” 6
- “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!” 20
- “SoBou, the restaurant and bar named for the neighborhood-South of Bourbon-comes from good stock as part of the Brennan group. The menu celebrates Creole and Cajun influences in an innovative way-think whimsical, seasonal takes on beignets.” 1
- “The adjacent restaurant/sports bar is a different story. It invites lingering and has a more vintage New Orleans ambience, with stamped-tin ceilings, lots of black leather chairs, and weathered wood.” 21
- “Food not great either. Probably wi t use this resort again.” 20
- “Hotel has an attached restaurant called Mr Ed with good food. Bourbon Street is just one block over for walking every night.” 9
- “As the name suggests, the food court is themed to a float storage/manufacture building. This sounds weird, but it's actually really cool to be surrounded by oversized Mardi Gras items.” 6
- “Then there's the high quality Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory, which is one of the better food courts at Walt Disney World.” 20
- “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.” 20
- “Club Wyndham Avenue Plaza One Bedroom It was a very cute, nicely decorated room.” 15
- “The two chairs and table was nice for us based on our preferences. The room was lovely though.” 20
- “I was there for 3 nights and they cleaned the room only ONCE! Excuse me, half cleaned. The bed looked like my 16 daughter made it with an attitude.” 11
- “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.” 20
- “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.” 20
- “there's a large closet with a safe and bedding sealed in plastic for the pull out sofa so you don't have to call downstairs well done Windom” On camera55:19
- “the room had a very nice TV and a coffee maker stocked with lots of extra coffee supplies and plenty of plastic cups for drinking adult beverages when you're walking around the French Quarter” On camera54:01
- “But the best bit is the one bus stop and smaller footprint - just two minutes to refill drinks and hit up the bakery from your room I'd so valuable after busy days at the park!!!” 20
- “I was there for 3 nights and they cleaned the room only ONCE! Excuse me, half cleaned. The bed looked like my 16 daughter made it with an attitude. Very upset to return to the room after an all day outing to bed still un made.” 8
- “Is there a huge difference between a room being five and ten minutes from the main amenities? Probably not. But it's at least a small mark in favor of the hotel and, we'll see later, the small size greatly improves transportation at the hotel.” 6
- “Honestly, it took me a while to "see the light" on the compact layout at French Quarter. But not that we're parents and the end of the night often involves carrying a tired toddler, I definitely get it. That's a huge advantage for Port Orleans French Quarter over Riverside, or any other Moderate Resort, for that matter!” 20
- “Renovated in late 2014, guest rooms are well-maintained, although some of the wood furniture shows signs of wear.” 21
- “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.” 20
- “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.” 20
- “DO NOT stay at the Wyndham French Quarter. I was there for 3 nights and they cleaned the room only ONCE! Excuse me, half cleaned. The bed looked like my 16 daughter made it with an attitude. Very upset to return to the room after an all day outing to bed still un made.” 8
- “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.” 20
- “The bathroom is very tiny, but still functional for 1 person at a time.” 15
- “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.” 20
- “I showered after my morning runs and noted no issues with the shower. I was happy to be in Disney World, where I can almost always count on a clothesline in the shower.” 6
- “the bathroom is a tub shower combination and is a little on the small side it was clean and everything functioned properly” On camera54:24
- “Marriott Bonvoy members get free Wi-Fi; otherwise, there's a charge. It was perfectly fine.” 1
- “It's a big favorite for adults doing Disney World for this reason-it's a decent price, in fun but not childish theming, without quite the chaos of some other resorts at and below this price range (and probably with less chaos than some deluxe resorts).” 6
- “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.” 20
- “With an 8.3 rating for value, it seems the price is generally fair for the location and amenities.” 18
- “Rates are competitive, however many options are nearby, including the upper-middle-range Astor Crowne Plaza-New Orleans French Quarter; it has comparable rates and amenities, including the popular Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House restaurant.” 21
- “Large murals with tarot card details dominated the walls and the Starwood Signature bed was a welcome, cozy touch.” 1
- “The room had a panoramic view of the Mississippi from the upper floor.” 14
