Forest Park Hotel
"Property is it under construction and the access to the room was terrible, take lift, long walk through the buildings, then climb stairs, with kids it was a hilarious experience. They did not had any amenities inside the property, recommended to get swim, jim & food in other properties."

"Appears the hotel Is under renovations but it doesn’t appear like they are. Room was tidy and clean but very aged. Wallpaper peeling back, blinds partially broken, evidence of leak in the closet. Overall a good stay as none of these issues impacted our stay."
