we decided to try different hotels in the rockford area since we haven't been very happy with the usual place we stay when in business in rockford. from the first moment we arrived at the fairmont inn, we knew we had made a good choice. ruben, the front desk clerk, was friendly and welcoming. when we found out that the room we reserved did not have a refrigerator and there were none to bring to our room, he offered to let us put our food in the hotel's fridge ans use the lobby microwave. we were happy with that offer, but even more so when he decided to upgrade our room to one with a fridge and microwave - a suite. the room was tastefully decorated and very clean. it is a midrange facility, so don't expect the ritz, but it is a great property for one in its price range. the breakfast selections are better than usual. fresh fruit, packaged fruit cups, breakfast bagel sandwiches,biscuit sandwiches,etc (besides the usual fare such as toast, cereal, etc)
unfortunately for us, beloit is a little too far from my workplace. but if you are driving up the highway, consider bypassing rockford and stop at the fairfield inn in beloit.

Thanks so much for picking us as you lodging choice. Rueben is a great member of our team and I will be sure he gets the postitve recongnition he deserves for being mentioned in your review. I'm sorry that we are a little to far for you to be a return guest when here for business, and hope you will stay with us again if you come back to the area for any other reason.
