Re: Which one

I've never been to Riverside or French Quarter but I've been to Coronado Springs. I love that hotel! It's really up to you and your tastes.

Re: Which one

Riverside seems to get the best reviews in the Moderate category.

Re: Which one

Have stayed several times at Riverside when it was Dixeylandings. Then it was a really nice place to stay at. The food court and restaurants had great food and good service. Rooms were nice and airy, and there were enough smaller pools within the resort that even during peak times at Easter we had a pool to ourselves.

I dont think it has changed a lot since the rebrand, in fact they made the restaurant better I heard.

So that would be my choice

Re: Which one

We just stayed at Riverside in November in the Alligator Bayou section and we really enjoyed it but I can't compare it to the others you mentioned because I haven't stayed at either of them. But I chose Riverside over French Quarter because it seemed to have more, like the food court, a restaurant, YeeHaw Bob (entertainment in lounge), carriage rides, boat transportation to DTD (but I think both areas have that)and pole fishing. They both have nice pool areas but the French Quarter has the colorful dragon slide (I think it's supposed to be a dragon). The only thing I can tell you that if you decide to stay at Riverside and in the Aligator Bayou section, it is a 2 story building and they do NOT have elevators, so if that is a problem just request a 1st floor. We requested a 1st floor and I'm glad we did because I would not have wanted to drag all the luggage up the stairs. The only other thing that may factor into your decision is I am pretty sure that the POR and POFQ have double beds and I think I heard recently that Coronado Springs has queen size beds, you should double check that info though.

Re: Which one

Riverside is a great place to stay. It is with out a doubt the best of the moderate hotels.

Re: Which one

CSR has the best pool by a mile....
POFQ, OVERALL though, get's my nod for the best moderate resort.
They are all nice but POFQ is soooo much smaller that the other two and to some, that makes a diference.

Re: Which one

We had a good stay at Coronado Springs. Loved the theming and the rooms . Was very comfy. Had queen beds in our room. Noticed alot wild life there also. Had a real big friendly raccoon outside our room. Gym for it size was awesome. Buses were running very well also. Daughter number 1 and I gonna sneak out Feb and stay there for a couple days.

Re: Which one

French quarter it was awesome! Loved it! It seems like its quieter, but with a cool pool all the same. But Unfortunately the French Quarters was closed the last so, I stayed at PO. It is also looked very nice. We stayed at the Carribean Beach Resort.

I love CSR! The queen beds and new room renovations have made it even better than before.

Re: Which one

I've never stayed at Coronado Springs. Based on exeprience withFrench Quarter and Riverside, I'd recommned River Side. The pool area at French Quarter is cooler, but Riverside has more at the resort (fishing, boating, table service restraunt).
