Had to cancel reservation. Called Forest City Inn to cancel. Was informed that since reservation was made thru Expedia, I had to cancel thru them. Expedia representative told me I had to cancel thru Forest City. Again, I called Forest City and was told to cancel with Expedia and again Expedia told me to cancel with Forest City Inn. At that point I just said forget it!

obviously it has been updated and it was well done. Exceptionally clean and the staff was fun and plesant to deal with. The bathroom was clean but could use a safety bar in the tub/shower. Low toilet...kinda strange...seems like most hotels have the tall ones.. but not a big deal. I really appreciated the lighting in the room. It was bright and pleasant Comfortable bed too.

Never made it there. Online booked me and wrong state and I called right after I seen email saying wrong state and they refused to refund me I paid for the night wouldn’t even do it w a fee for cancellation. I will never trust site or the hotel again. Hotel refused didn’t care about customer . This will be put on my never stay at that hotel chain after treating me like that Expedia didn’t even back me. Money is all everyone cared about in both sides
