This property does not provide a microwave in the unit. This is the first I have struck this in many stays in motels! In addition the “restaurant” was non existent, offering only limited takeaway

The staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Although old, FOREST HOTEL was very clean, no noise from other tenants, and parking was easy. It's not 'high class' but excellent value for money.
