River View Room

This room faces the Sassagoula River, giving you a calm waterside outlook rather than a parking or courtyard view. The riverside setting suits slow mornings before a park day. The room is reached by exterior corridors, as in the resort's three-story buildings.

The room has 2 Queen Beds with pillowtop mattresses and premium hypoallergenic bedding, and it sleeps up to 4 guests. That makes it a natural fit for a family of four or two couples travelling together. A free crib is available for little ones.

The room has a private bathroom with a shower and tub combination, towels and a hair dryer. The tub is handy for bath time with young children.

Yes. Port Orleans French Quarter is a family-friendly moderate resort, and this room offers two queen beds, a free crib on request and connecting rooms for larger parties.

You'll find a TV with satellite channels, a phone, an in-room safe, a coffee/tea maker, a mini-fridge, an iron and ironing board, and free Wi-Fi. A microwave can be requested, and room service runs during limited hours. Climate control, a ceiling fan and blackout drapes help you set the room to suit your schedule.
