There are two Howard Johnson Hotels in Rockford. The other one looks better. This one is located on the south side on 11th st. and was so bad that after 45minutes I decided to check out. The room was dirty, internet barely worked and I was in room 207 only a few feet from the lobby. The lights were very... more

Our soccer team was desperate for group accommodations for a tournament in Rockford. We were able to book 15 rooms at HJ -- no wonder with the list of complaints from my team!

We found out later that you have a 15 minute inspection... more

I recently stayed at this hotel after booking it through an on-line booking source. I went to the HJ website to view photos and after arriving at the hotel I found these photos very deceiving!
