 A Chat with Sarah: Why Forrest Hotel & Apartments is Her Go-To Stay
At Forrest Hotel and Apartments, we love hearing about our guests' experiences and how we can make their stay even better. Recently, we had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah and her family about why they chose to stay with us, what surprised them, and what they loved about their two-bedroom apartment. Here's what Sarah had to say!
Why did you choose Forrest Hotel and Apartments for your stay?
“We love the convenience of Forrest Hotel—it’s so close to Manuka Village, with its cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. Plus, attractions like the National Gallery, National Museum, and Old Parliament House are just around the corner. There’s so much to do, and the location couldn’t be better!”
What surprised you during your stay this time?
“I was really surprised to learn that you offer one- and two-bedroom apartments. It was a nice surprise! The BBQ area and the green grass were also a highlight—perfect for letting the girls run around after a long drive.”
What did you enjoy most about your two-bedroom apartment?
“We absolutely loved the full-sized kitchen, the comfortable living space, and the laundry facilities. The BBQ area and landscaped gardens were also a lovely bonus. It made our stay so relaxing and convenient.”
Is there anything else you'd like to mention?
“We didn’t realize you offer a discounted members rate at Forrest Hotel and Apartments. We’ve now joined as members and will definitely book directly on the website in the future!”
