Disappointing Stay – Feedback on Recent Visit

Dear Forrest Park Hotel by MDR Management, I am writing to express my deep disappointment with my recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations in several important areas. Upon arrival, we were immediately approached in the parking lot by a man asking for a condom, which was extremely unsettling. The following day, we witnessed what appeared to be prostitution taking place directly in front of the hotel. This made the environment feel unsafe and uncomfortable. The cleanliness of the room also left much to be desired. It was not as clean as expected, and when I attempted to request assistance from the cleaning staff, I was unable to communicate effectively as they only spoke Spanish. This made it difficult to point out specific needs or issues in the room. Additionally, the front desk was unattended at times, requiring us to wait until the staff returned. While the front desk staff were friendly when present, the lack of consistent availability was frustrating. Overall, I am very dissatisfied with my stay and would not recommend this hotel to others. I hope this feedback will be taken seriously to improve the experience for future guests. Sincerely, Shadonna

Whole building smelled like 20 packs of Newports and air freshener. Key card for the door was really weird, you have to play around with it to get it to turn green so you can open the door. Room only had one washcloth so I had to go downstairs and ask for more. Some kind of stain was on the telephone cord, not sure what it was. Location was convenient for me and hotel was affordable otherwise. I’d stay here again if I had to.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The room was dirty, and I woke up to a cockroach crawling on my arm. The pillow had yellow stains—I'm not sure from what, but thankfully I brought my own. The fridge didn’t work, and about half of the electrical outlets were non-functional. Very disappointing experience.

Needed a little staycation with my girlfriend and this hotel fit the bill for price and location. Convenient to good food. The hotel has been renovated. Still a couple items needing to be renewed like the patio doors, however, just having the patio was a huge plus.

The location was excellent, easy access to museums, dining, and parks. The hotel is old like me and shows its age like me. The website didn't mention they had a pool but it exists. It did mention a Keurig in the room that didn't exist. The staff claimed a discount (that doesn't exist) at the breakfast restaurant (that is excellent).

Love my stay here and it was clean. The staff were nice and polite and provided me with all I needed. The only thing I would say that could be better is the wifi. It didn’t reach far to room 509. If you guys can remove the free breakfast since you guys don’t offer this would help with booking. Otherwise then that, everything was great. Thank you for your service.

Overall the hotel is ok. The room and linen were clean. The hotel is older and could use some updating. The room service was non existent. I called down for face towels (because there was only 1 in our bathroom) and I was told that I could come down to get some. The next day, I called down for a plastic spoon and was told "they didn't have any". I have never been told that from a hotel staff before, to come get the items that you need and that should have been in the room to begin with. There is no breakfast, not even fruit or breakfast bars. We will not stay here again.
