We had a great stay at the Residence Inn. Great space for all of us. Loved the pillows.

We stayed at this property last year, and we thought it had gone down hill since then. Our room was rough around the edges. The furniture had grease spots on the arms, and looked worn. There was construction on both entrances to the building we were in ( across the parking lot from reception) there were workmen blocking the entrance it was dirty, and loud and this was going on into the weekend. The also had the outside security door that you need your keycard to access taped, so the door could be opened without a key. That was a little unnerving. I like having a little feeling of security, when I am in a strange place. The breakfast area had a drawer front missing, and the cover for the socket where the toater plugged in was missing the cover. It just looked rough to me. We always stay at Residence Inns, but this one needs some refurbishment. They did have an ice machine in the hall which is a plus. The breakfast was good, but there was never enough seating for everyone trying to eat.

I have been through Rockford for business and personal trips many times over the last 8-10 years, and this is one of my favorite places to stay. I like the Residence Inns as a chain (especially traveling with my kids - 6 and 9) and this hotel didn't disappoint. We had a nice, clean comfortable room. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub, although it did get quite crowded with families on a Friday night. The staff was gracious and helpful, and the breakfast fare was typical Residence Inn - pretty good for a free buffet. (Just please, add a few more healthy options = )

The restaurant across the parking lot is great (I think it's call Thunder Bay Grille) - we had a great meal there - and I've had many other great meals there.

Overall, I would stay again and recommend to friends.

Well equipped room w/mini kitchen [Refridgerator / Microwave /Stove] Pots & Pans incl.
Free WiFi. Nice Desk area. Great Breakfast provided - Not just some donuts and coffee.
Price-Line the room if you can to get an even better value.
