Forest Villas Hotel - Prescott

Very comfortable place to stay.

The hotel is much older than expected upon arrival. Many of the rooms, furniture, decoration, etc. are outdated. The staff is very kind, attentive and quick to please. I enjoyed how pleasant they all were. The breakfast is great and everything was hot. There was a dedicated employee to make sure all options stayed available. However, the room was pretty underwhelming.. we stayed in room 200 (luxury king suite). Pros: -Beautiful views of the “garden’” and a kiss of Prescott (it was raining with fog- very pretty) -The room is HUGE -The balcony is large with big windows -Fireplace is nice and warm Cons: -The room smells AWFUL. The entire room smells of body odor and meldew. It is nauseating and there was no relief from it. -The future was dirty. I would find stains, food crusted on it, crumbs from prior guests on the living room furniture. It was gross. I needed to lay down our baby planets on the couch, then use spare toss blankets before sitting on them. -When turning off the fireplace, a couple flames continued to stay lit which made me feel unsteady and scared. I am glad there was a carbon monoxide detector in the room. -Yellow/green dirty and stains in the walls of the bathroom. Looked like body fluids…gross. -The bathtub/spa sits 2ft away from the kitchen and leaving the tub, exists directly onto carpet. I’m not sure if this is where the mildew smell comes from but all I could imagine was how much water is trapped in the carpet (which was very old)

Beautiful inside and great view

We've stayed in many hotels and a few VRBO's over almost four decades, mostly near walking distance or in downtown to ditch the car and not worrying about driving after libations. While Forest Villas is not near downtown and was not on our radar previously, it is now. What it is near, it is a block west of Walker Rd that takes you to Lynx Lake and the Highlands Center for Natural History Center well worth visiting and strolling the forested paved trails. Located on a hilltop you'd never relaize while there that you are across the highway from a Costco and Trader Joe's plaza with other shopping. The way the property is wonderfully landscaped with mature shrubs, trees and plantings it is like a green flowered sanctuary with little indication of the surrounding hotels, apartments and edifices when in the room, lobby or beautify maintained pool and hot tub area. They call it Mediterranean charm and I agree. From booking and pre arrival communication to check-in and overall hospitality they seem to wear their independent ownership with friendliness and pride. That includes that the very good breakfast that is better than most, even the pricier commercial chains. Thank you. We shall return to stay another day!

Forest Villas Hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel has a European flavor. Great views from the balcony. Friendly and helpful staff. Better than usual complimentary breakfast. Very nice dining area. Can't wait to go back

The rooms are a little tired, but kept very clean. Breakfast has a nice selection. This is our go to hotel when we are in town. Staff is professional and welcoming.

Staff was friendly and attentive. The warm cookies upon check in was a nice touch. The lobby is beautiful. Although the bed could use and upgrade the rest of the room was nice. Clean and neat

Excellent location, quaint boutique hotel ... wonderful breakfast buffet. My only complaint is that the Jacuzzi was out of order

The front desk staff was very polite and helpful. We were surprised though that our room did not receive fresh towels or beds made. We had to call front desk for fresh towels after being gone all day and returning tired. That was disappointing. To see used towels on floor outside of rooms was not nice.

Customer service was top notch - very attentive staff - but grungy older rooms. Smelled old carpet.

Such a nice place and nice staff

staff (Bob) not very friendly or helpful. Hotel very nice, but dated. No gym. All together… not bad, but not great either

Nice

Pleasant

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very nice lobby; makes a traveler feel welcome and invited. Great first impression.

Staff was great, friendly..accommodations comfortable.

We always stay here when we come to Prescott. Very friendly staff and the breakfast is so good.

Nothing more

My husband I frequently make trips to Prescott and the surrounding areas. This was our first time staying at Forest Villas. The property is exquisite and when you walk into the foyer, it takes your breath away. Everyone we encountered as far as staff went, were kind and helpful. We never really lacked for service when it was needed. The continental breakfast was pretty tasty, and overall we enjoyed our stay. The rooms have had some updates, however, the bathroom stays frigid, even with the water turned on. The beds aren't very comfortable and seem to be outdated, and the unit for AC or heat, is really loud. At times the heater would also blow cold air even though we had it turned up to 78 degrees and on heat. Some modern updates are still needed, however, we really did love our stay enough to consider staying there again.

The staff was amazing. Check-in was great. It has a lot of character. I just love the whole set up of everything. Beautiful fireplace in the lobby area.
