Holiday Inn Forest

This is the only decent place to stay in Forest. Because it’s the only option close to a nice place to sleep a lot of people choose it to stay. For the cost of the room, they definitely need to upgrade it. It needs so many upgrades. The bathroom paint is chipping, the carpet was dirty, the tvs are old (remote). But the breakfast was nice.
