Lobby Refurbishment at Port Orleans French Quarter – What to Expect
We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter in late August and found that the lobby refresh was limited to the check-in area desks. One desk was partitioned with a curtain. At the time of our visit, that was the only work being completed near the lobby. You may remember that a complete room renovation wrapped up earlier this summer. Additionally, the resort’s pool area and Scat Cat’s Cafe also saw some refurbishment work within the last couple of months.
