The Forum is a great place to stay. Very friendly, helpful, courteous.and hospitable. I loved that they gave Finding Nemo stuffed animals out along with Forum bags. I also thought a special touch was when they walked around with red, white and blue popsicles at the pool everyday. That was very refreshing as we were down the hottest week of July. So thank you Forum staff for a great experience on my vacation. I’ll definitely be back soon. :)
