Top Forrest Hotel Reviews

Deco Hotel

8/10 Good

"A very comfortable and relaxing stay; Professional, friendly staff. The room was very well appointed, bed comfortable and quiet surrounds. The shower has areas which are beginning to look tired and my only negative comment is the shower is very dark due to dark glass on the wall and door. Would recommend and would stay again. Parking is one the expensive side"
