So many key elements to dislike about this place: 1) Room…read moretemperature appears to be controlled by central system so in-room controls mean little. 2) For the price, this place sure needs a lot of maintenance. For instance, the elevator is a wreck and is almost spooky. 3) Noise. This place was cheaply built with little regard to sound deadening. For instance, windows allow lots of road noise. 4) Front desk staff and management are in constant game-playing mode with room assignments to the point of being ethically concerning, especially if rates are at all a negotiated rate. I will say that the breakfast and dinner staff was very considerate and I would have added another star just for them if the rest of the hotel had not been such a disappointment. Bottom line, simply no where close to the price point they are charging.

We then left the hotel for dinner and on our return to our room we found a ladder set up in front of our room's door. Upon further inspection we found that our room was flooded with over three inches of water from a broken pipe. The maintenance crew helped us get our possessions together. We were told to go to the front desk for room reassignment. Upon arriving at The desk we found out that the flooding affected a total of ten rooms and that they had no other rooms nor could they find anything in the area. Front desk staff did try to help while always maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor during a difficult time. They earned all available stars.

We live 45-60 minutes away, but the weather in Illinois in the winter is so unpredictable, I would rather book a night (or two) at a hotel than drive in the snow (I have been in Illinois for 53 of my 57 years... I hate snow/winter). This hotel is always clean and the breakfast is always very good. The staff is always polite and helpful. The rooms are a little run down but we are really only there to sleep, not hang out in our room. This review is about something that happened two weeks ago. We had tickets for a Hogs game for Saturday night. I booked two rooms at the Fairfield... on Friday morning, my doctor called me and told me I would be spending the weekend in the hospital. Ugh! I went to the hospital and after I was sure I was going to be admitted and was going to be stuck there for the entire weekend, I called the Fairfield to cancel our rooms knowing I was going to have to do it at a loss (I told my family they could go without me, but they wanted to be home just in case I needed them). The front desk was sooooo nice ... she canceled the reservation at no charge and was completely empathetic. I was so bummed and I am sure she could hear it in my voice. Thank you so much Fairfield for being so kind. We will be back next season!

This is a very old property that really should not be in the Marriott portfolio as it does not meet…read moretheir standards of service. We were placed on the first floor across from the fitness center and around the corner from the front desk. I am assuming this is because we used our Marriott points for our stay. We have redeemed points in the past and as a gold elite member, we have not experienced a penalty for redeeming our free night. Service was great but the room was dingy and lacked a blackout curtain. Fortunately. there was a tree and air conditioning unit that partially obscured the view into our room since anyone could see us that evening from the sidewalk and parking lot. We had to change and hide out in the darkened room to preserve our modesty. The television didn't give off much light as it was the size of a computer monitor. The bed was lumpy and the sheets smelled strongly of bleach. We could smell the complimentary breakfast the minute it was put out for guests as the walls were paper thin. Fortunately, our neighbors were considerate and observed curfew hours as we could actually hear the conversations of the group staying in the room next door. This room was offered on the Marriott site for $265 - definitely not worth it. While we are loyal Marriott members, if you need to stay in Rockford, the Hilton next door is much nicer and the rooms that our family reserved there were newer and much more comfortable. Again - service was good, no complaints there but this property did not meet Marriott standards.

It was midnight on a Tuesday night and they had rooms available. The receptionist at the front desk was very nice and friendly! We got what was available for two adults which was the king bed studio.

We were just there to sleep so we never checked out the pool. They had an excellent complimentary breakfast! The parking lot was lit up and I felt safe there. We paid $114 for a seven hour stay.

This hotel is pet friendly, thank God. I haven't been able to get ahold of my boarding facility, so I couldn't just leave my dog in a house with no heat as we dip into the 20s.

The rooms are adorably decorated with beautiful little touches; each one is different. They were impeccably clean. But the best part was the huge deck over-looking the Rock River. Tons of comfortable seating, beautiful flowers, a lovely bubbling water fountain, hummingbirds and a great variety of birds coming in to the bird feeders. SO lovely to kick back and relax while watching the river go by. The owners Dee and Becky could not have been more hospitable, and made us feel like old friends. And when we felt like a little more activity or going out to eat, Rockford was an easy 20 minute drive. We are already planning a return trip.

She was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond when we asked for a New Year's Eve party recommendation. She also gave us the printed Riverview Art Walk pamphlet (the outlined history of architectural pieces is not to be missed, although the Al Capone bar is not yet listed and no mention was made of the fabulous ships-in-bottles) and provided us with a tour of the Sultan room with it's magnificent antiques. Our suite was clean and well appointed. I did check the sheets and mattress and found none of the issues mentioned in previous reviews. Paint seemed fresh and Yvette mentioned that new carpets are to be installed in 2026. It seems that the current owners are attempting to revitalize the hotel and event center. We also enjoyed our river view room. Although we could see the train tracks, they did not appear to be in use and we were never bothered by noise. The view provided a good vantage for New Year's Eve fireworks - which may or may not have been publicly sanctioned. The adjacent mall is still under-occupied but we didn't sense any obvious criminal activity and our car was just fine in the parking lot. We had a good time here and would recommend.

We stayed for one night after seeing a show and going to the casino. We checked in at about 6pm and got back around 1am and checked out at about 9am. Really not long in the hotel. What we noticed... The place is sort of run down, but we didn't expect much. Our room was clean, but dated. The decor was pretty funny. I would describe it as eclectic, post modern, senior living center. Orange lamp, yellow lamp, royal blue table, etc. There is no closet. Just an area next to the window with pegs on the wall and a curtain. There were drawers, but check out the photos. You could either store your underwear and socks or some apples and onions. There was a full college dorm fridge that froze my soda and a microwave on the counter. Can't comment on the free breakfast as we opted to get breakfast elsewhere. Did notice that the pool was closed, so check before you decide to stay if you want to use the pool. For just a place to stay for the night. Not for a special occasion. It was okay. Except for the scratchy towels. Unless you need to exfoliate. Then, you are all good.

I am a Hilton fan, and I like my points, so I was staying in town and decided this Hampton looked…read morereasonable. The staff was friendly (enough) when I checked in. I was checked in to possibly the smallest hotel room known to man. The heat was off, the room was freezing. The thermostat wasn't connected to the wall unit so I don't know what good that did. I was given the bare bones of towels, asked for more, never brought up. The characters were a bit seedy in my opinion. It's not like the online location has an avoid not so good locations option... I did feel safe but just uncomfortable, my level of comfort as a solo female traveler. One thing I will say is that this hotel has a nice pool area and from 10pm-midnight is adults only. Long pool hours, and quiet. Too bad no one manages the chemical level because I had a chemical burn from the hot tub. I did not try the breakfast. The night shift worker told me to "try the breakfast. The sausage is good today, it's cooked all the way through." Uh... Not great for what I am used to with Hamptons. Not terrible. Lots of food options around. Convenient to highway... which you heard all night.

This is simply not an OK experience to be expected when you look at how expensive the room was. I missed my daughter's dance via stream because I was in this crap hole hotel for a soccer tournament with my son. Additionally the shower drain was broken in a down position so showers were half baths, that's the worst feeling. The hotel is also next to a casino that was blasting beats all night long which was very disruptive to my son and I's sleep. I'll always consider Holdiay Inn last going forward when deciding where to stay.

My Birthday started here…read more I've never stayed here at this location, so this was a new experience for me. Pulling up, I was skeptical only because, although, it's in a good area, it didn't feel welcoming, however, rather than to judge a book by it's cover I decided to still go in and follow thru with my plans. Side not: They could use big plants/flowers out front.... which could give a welcoming feel!!! The staff were awesome!!! The only thing that I noticed was that, they couldn't use a different credit card for incidentals which was flabbergasting ! The entire stay along with the deposit for incidentals has to be on one card. If you travel alot. You would want to know this! Yes, it matters for those of us who need our perks and points lol Honestly, for this to be a Radisson I expected better quality and an updated, newer decorated facility. Don't get me wrong, it looks newer on the outside but the inside screamed need updates. I'm sure that if they had an interior decorator to come in and update all of the furniture that this could be a 5 star hotel easily. It's the furniture and accessories that gives it an old and outdated feel! Having a indoor pool is awesome, as were the bar and restaurant area. Very nice! The staff were nice enough to allow my local guest to come visit with me while I was in town. Great facility for events to be held because they have a connecting side of the building which caters to events. There's plenty of parking onsite. The hotel also has a shuttle bus which, I'm not sure if it's airport shuttle from Chicago or somewhere else! I'd definitely stay here again because the location is worth it! The beds are comfy and the showers were amazing which is huge for me! The water pressure and temperature was perfect! (Yes, it's a thing) The prices are a bit steep for it being Rockford but, I'm sure that it has alot to do with the casino, shopping and restaurants are all less than a 5 min drive. Thankfully, I had Birthday steals, perks and reimbursements coming. The 2 ladies at the front deserve a raise and 7 months off with pay ( One was a Manager) Thanks Ladies and see ya again someday!
