Best Hotel in Forest

Bathroom was dirty (hair on floor and tub was not clean) and the carpet looked dirty. Definitely needs to be updated to represent the Holiday Inn brand.

Needs Updating

The only nice hotel in Forest Mississippi has gone down drastically. Was once our favorite place to stay, but now we are considering staying in Meridian and driving back and forth to Forest. Everything in the hotel is outdated and needs an overall change. Not representing the Holiday brand!

The hotel when you walk in has a mildew smell, the decor is old and dated. Our room was dusty, the bathroom paint was peeling off, tub looked a mess, and one of the chairs had stains I can go on and on. This is one of the worst hotels I've stayed at and will never come back!
