From the moment we arrived we were comfortable. This property is beautiful and close enough to base and the city that it felt like a good “home base” for our trip. The restaurant was delicious. The food, coffee bar and cocktails were all exceptional.

Nice modern hotel, convenient for the office. Not much around for tourists. Nothing in walking distance, bars, restaurants etc.

Hotel and rooms lacked a little character, storage for clothes not great if you are staying for a long period. I had to switch rooms mid stay. They gave me a suite to compensate for 2 nights. I'd rather have stayed in my original room.

The room was extremely clean and modern. There was no password needed for the wi-fi, which was a HUGE plus (I always have trouble getting signed in at other hotels). The on-site restaurant actually had really good food. There weren't a lot of options on the menu, but what we ordered was very tasty. The bar in the lobby stayed open until midnight (kitchen closed at 10pm) and the drinks were strong and tasty!

There was no microwave in the room and the nearest one (outside of going to the lobby) was at the very end of the hallway and there was only one on each floor. The mini-fridge didn't have a freezer, which wasn't a huge problem but I didn't think to check before buying the ice cream from the 24 hour mini-mart in the lobby, so I had to eat it right away since there was no where to store it.

My sister and I stayed at The Forester for a friend's wedding. Great room and staff. The on-site restaurant has breakfast and dinner options and it's affordable. Lots of shopping and places to eat about 10 minutes away including a mall. The rooms are modern and clean and the staff is always willing to help. We had a great time.

We thought the hotel was closer to the shopping area so we would be able to walk around, but we were able to grab an uber when we needed one.

The hotel was perfectly fine, but the value of $400 per night was seriously lacking. It met my needs but for that price I expected A LOT more.

Cost. Lack of catered amenities.
