Forster Palms was a great place to stay - easy parking, clean pool & surrounds. The room itself was well-laid out, and although a little dated, was very clean & had everything we needed for a short stay! The vouchers & temp membership to the Club next door were much appreciated, & the dining options at the Club were good too. Recommend for short stays!
