They allowed early check in which is prett rare at other hotels, vrbo, and BG facilities. They were so extremely nice and helpful to all that walked thru the doors. The hotel was extremly clean and beautiful. Each time we have stayed here family has joined us for a dinner. We eat out on the back deck which was beautiful. Always our first choice when in town!

Finally a new hotel in this area! Very clean- nice exercise room and breakfast area. Bedding and room was comfortable. Add a nice restaurant and it will be the best in the area.

Mine was an unexpected stay in Rock Falls for one night, and it couldn't have been any nicer. From my first call to the hotel to check availability, to my departing cab ride arranged by the front desk, everything about my stay was great. The hotel is new, clean, with great amenities (pool and gym, which I didn't have time to use), and the lobby, where the free breakfast is served, has a great view of the river, whether you're inside our out on the patio. And the manager on duty, Mike, went out of his way to make my stay fantastic. If I ever find myself traveling to Rock Falls or Sterling again, I will absolutely be staying here.

Everything was not just great, but outstanding. Quiet, beautiful room with an oh-so comfortable bed and even a screened balcony. Love how you can take your breakfast out to the tables and chairs of the adjacent patio overlooking the water. My new favorite place to stay.

Business travelers take note: The US ports on the computers don't work, and they are so locked down and hamstrung that there is no apparent way to print a document from the printer sitting right next to them. The staff working the desk had no idea how to make them work. I had to go to Wal-Mart and BUY a printer in order to print a couple of simple documents. What a pain.

This is the nicest hotel in the area, and it’s the only one we will stay in when we visit family. It was very clean, centrally located, the staff is very nice, and the free breakfast is delicious (and it’s real food, not just muffins and juice- although they do have that, too). Our room had a screened in balcony overlooking the river and that was lovely.

The hotel is good the staff is nice. The only issue i have is they allow their property to be listed on hotels.com then they charge an additional 20 dollars at check in for using a 3rd party. Seems dishonest.

I had absolutely no complaints about the staff or property. I was a little disappointed that I was stranded due to weather and since I work at the hospital I couldn’t check out until 6 PM. They said if I left at 2, I wouldn’t have been charged, but since I needed to stay an extra 4 hours I was charged for a whole night. The lady at the front desk also told me the hotel was mostly empty 🙄
