My husband and I stayed at the Rockford Studio Plus while our home was being built. The staff was very friendly, but as for the price, I was not too terribly impressed. Very pricey IMO. The first studio we stayed in was infested with cockroaches. YUCK! After 2-3 visits from the exterminator(and a couple weeks later), we finally moved to opposite ends of the hall. My husband and I carefully inspected all of our belongings before moving to the next studio as to not bring any little 'hitchhikers' with us. I guess what really bothered me about that was, we were never even offered a credit or even a complimentary night after that very unpleasant and inconvenient experience. I was skeptical that the new studio would be 'pest' free, but we stayed there a good 2 months and I never found any sign of roaches so that was a huge relief. We also had to evacuate the building 3 different nights due to the smoke alarm(one was in the middle of winter around 3am). However, I should mention that the staff was very accomodating and understanding about our departure date being pushed back a couple times. I wish that I could give better marks because the staff really was very pleasant, but I just feel these were big issues we probably wouldn't want to bother with again.

I have stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn, Comfort Inn, ExtendedStay Hotel, and the Alpine Inn in Rockford so that is what I will be comparing this hotel to. This hotel only ranks above the Alpine Inn...this hotel is way better than the Alpine Inn. This place is very average. The dresser and living table had lots of scratches and scuff marks on them. There were some red stains on the carpet in my room. The sofa had some stains on it. The room was definitely clean though. I would probably not stay here again. The best place to stay for the money is the Comfort Inn. The nicest hotel is by far the Hilton Garden Inn though.

The Studio Plus in Rockford is just off E State St on Bell School Rd located next to a topless bar. (I'm not kidding.) However, the staff is very friendly and they work hard to insure you have a pleasant stay. The rooms are nothing spectacular, but they are clean and functional. Be sure to book the "Deluxe Studio" which feels more like a studio apartment with decent-sized living room, bedroom alcove with queen bed, full kitchen, dining table/work desk, large bureau and big closet. The "Standard Studio" feels a bit cramped so it's probably worth $10 a night more for the "Deluxe" accomodations. (Understand there is nothing "luxe" about their rooms; "Deluxe" is more of a marketing term.) There are plenty of restaurants nearby (national chains and local) or you can opt to cook in your kitchen. (Grocery stores are not far away.) There are good laundry facilities and an exercise room. Studio Plus provides basic, comfortable,clean accomodations for a reasonable price. The staff on my last visit was excellent, better than some of the other hotels in the area. I've never felt unsafe at Studio Plus.

I stayed at Studio Plus Hotel in Rockford and this hotel rocks! The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They were sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. The rooms are fabulous. Fully equipped kitchen, very nice, large queen bed, and lots of space. The exercise room was perfect for working out, and a laundry room right next to the exercise room with vending machines. There isn't a pool but there is a spa. I preferred the spa anyways because it's more relaxing. I really loved staying at the Studio Plus Hotel in Rockford. Their manager, Judy, was one of the nicest person I have ever met. She made sure my stay was the best possible and it was. I'd recommend this hotel to friends, family, and anyone who wants to go to a hotel with excellent service, and with lots of great eat out places and entertainment places close to the hotel.
