All of the staff was extremely outgoing and wanted to make sure we had the best stay possible. We loved the room - very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only thing I would say that could be improved is notifying people that they had an option to park without using the valet service and if they chose to use it there would be a daily fee.

From the moment we arrived, our experience at Kimpton The Forum Hotel was top-notch. Check-in was quick, easy, and handled with professionalism. The valet service was a great convenience, especially with parking, and made our arrival stress-free. Our room was spotless, including the bathroom, which we really appreciated. It was quiet and comfortable—perfect for our family stay. Everything about the hotel felt well-kept and thoughtfully run. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend Kimpton The Forum Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and family-friendly place to stay with top-tier service.
