  • Loved the breakfast, lunch & dinner buffets.
  • Could easily hear other doors opening and closing.

“This was in a beautiful setting although you would need a car to get anywhere. It had a buffet almost all day. We could easily hear doors opening and closing and talking in the hall near our room, but it stopped about 10 pm.”

  • Wonderful grounds, great lobby decor, very helpful staff.
  • No input: everything was great.

“Expansive two-story structure, beamed lobby, nicely appointed rooms, wooded grounds, an oasis of seeming solitude on a busy highway.”

  • This hotel is clean and well maintained.
  • The room stayed very cold even though I turned up the thermostat in the morning.

“I have stayed at this hotel a few times using and the service hasn't been the best considering the brand. I have had minor problems each trip. This trip wasn't too bad. The thermostat did not seem to regulate the heating very well, but I like it cold in th room at night so it didn't bother me. If you like it toasty when you are sleeping it would be a problem. Overall, very nice though.”

  • Beautiful hotel, lots to do, quick getaway from NYC.
  • Can't think of any.

“We love the Doral Forrestal. The hotel is really nice, the spa is great, the restaurants are all wonderful (make sure to treat yourself to the Sunday Brunch) and the staff is super helpful. They have a nice pool and hot tub area, the fitness center is also great with updated equipment. When the weather is nice, you can sit outside and it is very nice. They have nice indoor tennis courts. My husband and I go down every 3-4 months and spend the weekend there and never leave the hotel. They have a nice bar with a great atmosphere and have 2 pool tables and a shuffleboard table in the back. I highly recommend it for business and leisure travel. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going to go back soon.”

  • The atmosphere was relaxing, natural and welcoming.

“If you want a hotel that feels more like a resort, this is the place to stay. The lobby feels more like a lodge than a hotel. It's obvious care was taken to create the perfect atmosphere for guests, whether traveling for business or pleasure.”

  • Hotel had a very good quality feel to it.
  • Other guests were up early and there was hall way noise.

“This is a very impressive facility. Although I did not eat in or take advantage of the spa I have to think that it was all first rate. The room was very nice with lots of perks.”

  • Beautiful campus and excellent attention and service.
  • We could have used more information about local restaurants for delivery and the area in general.

  • Seems brand new, everything was clean, excellent landscaping, the indoor pool was the top.
  • The bar was not opened at early evening.

“The hotel was one of the top rated facilities that I have ever been. My family (9 and 16 year old daughter and my wife) enjoyed the hotel very much. All the beautiful garden, peace, quietness, very friendly staffs, excellent quality of room service foods, and the indoor pool.”

  • Nice grounds.
  • Funny smell in drawers.

“There was a strange smell coming from the night table and bureau drawers so I kept my clothes in my suitcase. I did not receive a newspaper either day of my stay. The hotel itself is a nice conference center with beautiful grounds.”

  • The woodsy atmosphere.
  • No inexpensive food.

“It is in a beautiful heavily wooded area with wooded views from the room. The lobby decorating carries off that lodge-like feeling.”

  • Beautiful facility which allowed me to be able to relax.
  • The area where my room is seems to be older and the ice machine still leaks since January 2008-4months ago! And no apples available in the lobby.

“I was preparing for a certification exam in January of this year and wanted to sequester myself away from work and family to focus on the material, so I sought after a 3star hotel and 'won' the Princeton Marriott at Forestall Village-LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Especially the pool and the gym. I was able to study and veggie-and I passed the exam on day 4! I loved it so much that Ive been back twice since then and look forward to going back again and again and again!”

  • The woodsy feeling.
  • Parking, handicapped and regular is too far from the hotel.

“The doorman should have refused tips for handicapped parkers, whose cars he parked. There is no way could have made it to that parking. Had a rich atmosphere, more than other three star hotels.”

  • Awesome.
  • Nothing.

“I loved this hotel. We are runners and the beautiful trails kept us entertained while we ran. This is definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed at.”
