The door didn’t open when k walked up so I manually pulled the door apart to enter and was yelled out by the person at the front desk for opening a locked door. The elevator smelled like weed and although there was hardly anyone at the hotel I was placed on the side of the highway where it was very loud all night.

Room was clean, spacious and adequately equipped. Coffee pot would not function, but the duty manager, clerk and maintenance person all 3 responded timely and replaced it wiithin 15 minutes after I reported it. I'm an 86 yr old veteran who served 22 yrs in the US Navy circa 1956-1978. I arrived at the hotel 1.5 hrs before the standard checkin time, tired and needing some rest. I asked the day clerk if it would be possible to do an early check in. She said "... yes, but there would be an additional fee..." I told her i would not pay any fee for a 1.5 hr early check in. Then I went back to my car in the parking lot and slept until 3:30pm, at which time I checked in. If that's Forest Park by MDR's attitude and policy I wont be lodging with you in the fiuture.

Unclean, filthy, damaged property. We had a reservation for two nights. The first night the bed had a LARGE indentation on one side. Literally was like a 500 pound human smashed their body into the bed. Checked out of this room the next day insisting we be given a new room. The new room smelled like dirty feet.It was impossible to ignore. There is broken glass in various locations in the parking lot. The lobby is literally locked from public access during the night. There are shot spotter detection cameras nearby. It’s easy to infer this isn’t a safe neighborhood. The
