The lady at the front counter was rude, they hold $100 for incidentals but then proceeded to take the incidentals out on top of the hundred dollars that they've taken. On top of that my meal was missing food that was listed on the menu, eg Potato and Feta. The lady in the restaurant was lovely

I love the atrium style layout of the property and the late check in. I know it's small, but I also love all the live plants on the balconies of the atrium! Much nicer than fake plants.The Lord Forrest is where I always like to stay in Bunbury. Highly recommended.

Hotel is close walking distance to the Bunbury CBD shops and restaurants. I purchased a city view room at extra expense to the standard room but was disappointed by the view from the room into the rooftops of adjoining buildings not much of a view at all so don't upgrade your room selection. When I raised the matter with the staff they seamed disinterested and simply said they would pass my comments on.

The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The entire hotel is outdated and decorated with odd decorative pieces everywhere. We had a very loud windy whistling noise, our remote to the tv didn't work nor did the internet to work the netflix. I had black marks on my bath towel. The food and restaurant area is nice. The staff were amazing, just really outdated.

Good location, clean and tidy but you couldn't control the air conditioning and even though is was supposed to be on heat the room was cold. Also charging $7.00 for a small tin of Pringles chips is a rip off.

There was no milk for a cup of coffee or tea. You had to order it. Getting worse not better. I’ll try somewhere new next trip and break a >15 year relationship; that started well.
