We just got back from POFQ last night and had a refurbished room in Building 2 on the third floor facing the main courtyard before the pool.
It was very, very nice!
I did put a request in for Building 2 and was so happy they accommodated it! It was a wonderful location as well.
The room was super clean/fresh and pristine and the changes are lovely. I love, love the floor instead of the ick carpet. Very subtle and perfectly fit into the charm and elegance of the resort.
It's definitely not in your face Disney but I feel they made it a very nice room for a moderate resort.
My DD and I were there for Princess Marathon Weekend and decorated the room with some Disney princess touches, so for people who say they want more Disney that's always an option. They got rid of the wood blinds and replaced them with a more sheer curtain so it makes window decorating more easy.
As far as an update on the refurb status, they were putting the final touches on the first floor of building 2 and it looks like they will open those rooms at any moment now. The first section of Building 3 closest to the main lobby is currently being worked on, and it looks like all three floors are being done at the same time... at least definitely floors 3 and 2.
Finally, I have to say this... I can't speak highly enough of the management and CMs at POFQ. To me, it is the lovliest of all resorts as far as them making you feel like a special guest instead of a number checking in. We have recently stayed at the Polynesian and Pop Century as well, so all levels of resorts, and POFQ rises head and shoulders about how they treat their guests. I love several resorts for different reasons, but here, they make me feel like a valued *person* and it THAT'S what made our trip magical.
