I am just back from 14 lovely nights at French Quarter so I will try and address some of the comments I have seen in the posts I missed when away and give me thoughts!
Firstly, the beds were really comfortable. The pillows were fine - a bit soft for my preference but nothing wrong with them at all. I sent in a room request by fax 4 or 5 days in advance of my stay requesting a top floor room, away from the elevators, non-connecting room and ideally in buildings 4, 5 or 6 so I could be close to the main building, but also close to the path to be able to walk to Riverside. This was a slightly cheeky request as I had booked a standard view room (no garden views available) and I know there are no standard views on the top floor of buildings 5 or 6. On check in I was given a lovely room in building 5 - meeting all my requests, and it was a garden view too which was lovely. We could hear the movies on the lawn, but this wasn't really a problem as we were usually still out at the parks, it was only the first night when we were jet lagged and wanted to sleep earlier. The rooms did not seem tired at all. I did not have a clock in the room, but this did not bother me. I ordered from Amazon Prime and the box was waiting for me on check in (along with something else I ordered from Ebay).
Overall, I loved FQ. I stayed at Riverside previously and much preferred this resort - the only downside in my opinion was the limited selection of food in the food court at lunch time - we were only there for one lunch time and ended up walking to Riverside to get lunch as there was a bit more selection. I loved the size of the resort and the fact it only had one bus stop. We only went round the Riverside loop once and it reminded me how much I love the FQ buses! I wish I was back there right now!
How far ahead of your check in did you schedule the Amazon Prime delivery? When you checked in did the front desk proactively tell you it had been delivered or did you have to ask? Did you have Amazon Pantry items in your delivery (trying to figure out if this can be used to deliver non-perishable grocery items)?
