“Best Western Forest Inn presents a mixed experience; while the staff's attentiveness is a plus, the property seems overdue for updates. I noted that while rooms are acceptably clean and comfortable, recurring issues like the pool's unavailability detract from the stay. Its location as Franklin's only hotel is a factor to consider, given reported inconsistencies in service and maintenance.”
