There are some serious scuffs on the wall that just make you think there are things not carefully considered or taken care of that you cannot see. The stairs on the outside that have to be taken to get to the room do not feel solid. Signs are all over to not smoke but when I walked past one room I smelled weed as the door opened and then three guys walked out with overloaded cooler bags. Sketchy. Beds was nice and the room felt fine but I won’t stay here again. Just didn’t feel at ease enough.

We reserved the room two weeks prior. We arrived at 10:00pm after a seven hour drive through a snow storm, looking forward to sleeping. When checking in, the woman showed us a picture of how to use the thermostat when we got to the room. When we got to the room, it was 50° and took forever to warm up. I definitely do not recommend staying there if the weather is cold, because they do not keep the rooms warm. They rely on guests to manage the thermostat.

Best hotel in Rockford. 5 star service at 2 star price. Felt like home (not a hotel). Hotel room clean well-stocked everything worked. Cosy small hotel. Handy location next to Hard Rock Casino buses to Downtown Rockford Chicago. Free hotel breakfast (waffles) tasted nice.

Very clean and nice unit, however it was quite cold outside as was I when I got inside only to find that the heat was turned down to 53°. Totally understand the cost saving measure by doing so, but I had made a reservation in advance and was surprised that the heat had not been turned up. I had to sit inside with my jacket on for 20 minutes until it warmed up enough which I was less than happy about after spending 11 hours driving.
