At Residence Inn Rockford, travelers highlight friendly staff and generally clean accommodations, while noting the property feels dated and that occasional maintenance or technology outages—such as TVs, Wi‑Fi, or phones—have disrupted some stays and impressions.

Breakfast is often described as hot and tasty with solid variety, though a few guests found it disappointing or ran into equipment issues.

This place needs a refresh. I saw broken floor tiles, scratched and worn furniture, etc. Plus, phones weren’t working, so we couldn’t call the desk, TV’s weren’t showing any channels or streaming, and ice machine in the refrigerator didn’t work. The front desk staff were very nice, but this was the worst hotel experience I’ve had in a while.

I have stayed in several hotels in this area of Rockford and this hotel has the best pool. BUT, the mattress was horrible! I had nerve pain every day. I'd like to suggest [other than new mattresses] is 1) the lighting is very dim. Needs a couple of brighter lights. And 2) Needs a full length mirror. plus side, they have GREAT cookies every day! :)

I love how many hotels now have the shampoo, conditioner and body wash pumps in showers. Makes showering so simple. The mattresses were beyond heavenly, I always struggle to fall asleep while on vacation and seems like I need a vacation from my vacation, but these beds were phenomenal. Love the kitchen inclusion, it’s like a small home. It was great, and breakfast was enjoyable. Didn’t use the pool, but it’s there. Absolutely loved this place.

Rooms were dated but clean overall. Family friendly. Ice maker outside room but hotel doesn’t provide buckets. Told us to use ice maker in room freezer but sign said it takes 72 hrs to produce ice and our stay was only 2 nights.

My spouse and I (central Michigan) had a delayed Christmas here with our adult child (eastern Minnesota), and it was a lovely place to meet. Excellent restaurants nearby, and grand to have a kitchenette in our suite. I just wish they hadn't removed the whirlpool; still in the hotel pictures, but not actually there.

I thought the room was very dingy. It was a little depressing. There was no dish soap for the dishes. There was an extra roll of papertowels which was nice. We were only there for 2 nights and were not going to buy dish soap. The staff was very pleasant. The room had an odor of cat urine upon walking into the room.

My fiancé and I visit Rockford, IL quite frequently and this is the only hotel that we feel comfortable in. I work front desk at a hotel in Indiana and I know all the ins and outs. I can honestly say this hotel is 5 stars when it comes to cleanliness and customer service.

The WiFi didn’t work, two tvs did not work , when we arrived the phones were down for hours. I wasn’t expecting a $255 per night suite to not suit all the needs of traveling and being really comfortable. The staff at front desk was rude and had me and my family waiting because there phones was down so we had to call the third party who we booked through to update changes to our reservations and email the new update to them. All around very stressful check in process and the stay was not worth $255. A lot of amenities were not working and up to part.

I thought I was suppose to get two queen size beds. Instead I got a suite. It had a bedroom with a queen bed and the front room had a pull out bed. When you open it it came out all the way to the desk . It also was so close to the bedroom door that you could not open it all the way. The bathroom was in the bedroom. So the person sleeping in the front room had to walk into the bedroom . Was not able to give the people in the bedroom any privacy. The pull out bed was the worst thing I have ever slept on. I have slept in Japan on mats and the pull out bed was worst. The bars under the bed were sticking in my back all night. I went to the office to complain and get pain pills so I could deal with it in the middle of the night but no one was at the dask

We contacted the front desk about our television not working and she said she would call the company which is in Canada to reset it. I called back about 30 minutes later and she said a server was down and other tvs were out as well. Upon checkout we asked for a credit to our room because of the issue. She said contact the manager because she couldn’t do anything. Very disappointed with this hotel. I won’t be staying here anymore.
