The staff was very nice and helpful I appreciate the level of care and concern
Yes Balcony have a refreshing skyline. Air conditioning is quiet and keeps the rm cool and heated its offen not used because the rm holds good temperatures. Staff is very considerate and respects your space. Rm are well maintained, Very quiet safe establishment.
The room was clean, the location was great (our son had an appointment at Cardinal Glennon) and the staff was very kind and courteous. Our bed, which was a king, was very comfortable! The only problem was the smell of marijuana in the hallway, which wafted into our room. Also, our room had a sofa sleeper which was uncomfortable due to a very thin mattress.
Yes, All The Above, My Family And I Have Been Displaced Here At The Forest Park Hotel For 8months. Everyone Has Been A Blessing To Us. Corneice, Dolton, Erin, Daniel And Ana, Just Some Familiar Names To Mention.There Rates Are Reasonable With Amazing Housekeepers As Well. The Staff Is Filled With Hardworking People That Was Kind And Helpful The Entire Time. Although Its An Unfortunate Situation For Us, I Wouldnt Want To Be Any Where Else.Thanks Forest Park Hotel For Having A Great Hospitality. Taiwan And Lisa
N/A. Good weather so just left the sliding door open. Needed the conference room for a family dinner. They went out of their way to make it comfortable. Very good staff! Friendly and helpful. Location is excellent for exploring “The Hill.”
The staff is always great. Joanna is AWESOME!
Bed is comfy, great water pressure, easy and safe parking. Near dozens of places to eat, close to a major gas station. Everything I like during a business trip!
