Forest Park Hotel by MDR

Multiple reviews cite dirty rooms, dust, blood-stained mattress pad, urine on stairs, used needles on patio, smoke odor and reports of bugs — overall poor cleanliness.

Service is repeatedly praised by several guests (mentions of Alex, Ms. Riya, Ms. Alex, Mr. VJ, Mr. Jeff providing excellent, accommodating and attentive service); a minority reported staff brushing off complaints, but overall staff performance is a clear positive.

Frequently noted as convenient: near the highway, surrounded by food options and free/easy parking; location is a strong positive in multiple reviews.

Mixed but leaning negative: reports of full-size / sagging / caved-in beds, odd bathroom layouts, thin walls, smoke smell and pests; a few guests mentioned comfortable beds, so quality is inconsistent.

Amenities are inconsistent: some guests report broken or nonfunctional items (coffee machine, water fountain, slow/bumpy elevators, tiny fridge) but the property still offers basic on-site amenities (parking, staffed front desk).

Mixed perceptions: some guests felt overcharged for poor rooms (e.g., paid $160 for a small/full bed), while others called the price great and said they'd return for appointments — overall value skews positive for some travelers.

Several guests noted no breakfast offered and lack of hot coffee; limited F&B available and inconsistent functioning of machines, producing a below-average but not entirely absent F&B experience.

Overall impression is mixed: significant cleanliness/safety and room-quality issues reported, but outstanding, helpful staff and a very convenient location lead many guests to still recommend or return, producing a surprisingly positive overall experience for a portion of visitors.
