The beds were comfortable, my daughters had space to run around and the location can't be beat. We will definitely be coming back! The room we stayed in looked like it had some updates being done, but some of the paint in the main bathroom sick counter and the shower floor were peeling off. Also! It was so cool to see the gondola up above!

This is our third time staying at the Forest Suites Resort, the location can not be beat as it is right in Heavenly village. This resort is so convenient to the Heavenly gondola that makes the stay here just perfect. This resort is steps away from anything we wanted to do or go to. This time we stayed in the Presidential and it was so perfect to have our own private jacuzzi to enjoy after a day of skiing. The resort staff was very kind and accommodating. I would totally recommend this resort to anyone and we will definitely stay there again!!!

Overall we liked this hotel. We only stayed one night while passing through but I would consider staying here again. They have large 1 and 2 bedroom suits with full kitchens and living rooms. Also had a hot breakfast buffet in the morning with lots of options. My only issue was we booked through trip advisor plus and we arrived around 10 or 10:30 at night and they said they didn’t have our reservation, took them about 40 minutes to decide what to do which was rough on my tired young children. I had prepaid already for the room & just needed to pay the resort fee. Not sure if they ever sorted it out as I didn’t hear from management ever the next day. May be good to just check in a guest and figure it out later if they are able to show you their email confirmation.

I reserved a week here using timeshare points exchange, plus a fee for this being “not a traditional timeshare,” on top of the daily resort fee. I have not reserved any similar places in the Heavenly Village area, but it seemed a bit on the steep side. I am trying to understand what the “resort fee” covers on top of the exchange fees paid. At first I was disappointed. The entire place needs some TLC, more so than the wonderful staff is able to provide. But, for the most part this is a cosmetic issue. The rooms are spotless and provide the basic amenities (toiletries, cooking utensils, dining utensils, linens & towels), so if there is a favorite kitchen item you like to have on hand, bring it because chances are they won’t have it. It was very nice to have a breakfast buffet, but I do wish they could figure out how to add some vegetable options, because are just so many plain scrambled eggs and instant oatmeal one can consume. However, when you take a look, they do indeed have a large number of options to choose from. There are always cold cereals, a bread bar, yogurt & cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, instant oatmeal, fruit, and a hot egg-meat-hash brown bar, sometimes with pancakes or waffles. The staff is what won me over. Every staff member that I interacted with here was very friendly and accommodating. They are what turned me from a skeptic to a fan. …

The room was exceptionally wonderful. The placement and location of the hotel was also exceptional. Right by the village no place better than that. Just slight complain about the elevator size and that it's relatively small.

Dear 467julieannej, We LOVE that you use the word exceptional to describe our rooms and location! Our elevators are a bit small indeed (some could say retro), but as an older property with a fully renovated elevator cab we are a bit nostalgic about them and have smaller bellcarts for those cabs. Thank you so much for staying and hope to see you again soon.

The one bedroom suite is really nice. It’s like a one bedroom apartment with a fully furnished kitchen, including a range, full sized refrigerator/freezer, and microwave. The location is perfectly located right next to Heavenly Village and walking distance to plenty of things to do.
