We're going to Disneyworld! (and universal)

We stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter last time.

That's very strange, NM. I've never had bad service like that at a WDW resort hotel. I hope you complained about that.

There are user-submitted reviews of some of the offsite hotels at MousePlanet here. I've never stayed offsite so I can't comment myself.

I enjoyed my stays at Port Orleans Riverside and Animal Kingdom Lodge.

I stayed at the Radisson on Palm Parkway once. It was...a hotel.

From what I've seen, Port Orleans Riverside is much nicer than French Quarter.

Of course, if you're willing to pay for it, go for one of the deluxe resorts. Animal Kingdom Lodge is fairly easy to access from offsite.

I probably should have, and normally I would, but I just didn't get around to it. I meant to write a letter but never had the time. I did mention it to the desk staff and they didn't seem particularly concerned and never did anything to rectify it. We always got back too late and too tired from the parks to bother too much at that point. The one time we did request something that late (I think it was clean glasses or towels as they were not provided - maid service was awful) it took them a full hour and a half to show up after telling us it would be 5 minutes. We were tired and ready for bed.

Overal, that was my only onsite experience and needless to say, it was not a great one.
