I just made a switch to CSR. I was booked at PORFQ because I like the overall theming and that it is small and quiet BUT those new rooms just don't do it for me. The mint-ish green wall with so much empty space just didn't give me homey, comfy vibes. Looking online and at youtube videos I said it almost was like a hospital room now.
Then we watched CSR videos and I admit I'm a bit concerned about the size of the resort but when I saw the rooms, it just made me feel like it will be a nice place to relax after a long day at the parks. The warm lighting, Three Caballeros decor , coffee station area and sliding doors separating the washroom and sink area made me feel like it's so much more warm and inviting. I've stayed at POFQ 3 times, the most recent being 2017, call me shallow but the rooms made the place a no from me this time. I just hope I am not overwhelmed by the size and distance of CSR.
Oh, I forgot to mention changing to CSR for the same room category saved my $70 for our stay.
Can I put in a request that I would like a room in Casitas close to El Centro? I think that area looks the nicest to me and closest to El Centro (some parts anyways). I did not pay for a preferred room but I would like to ask for something as close as possible within my category.
