Top Downtown Rockford Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Rockford

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, clean with helpful staff."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Rockford

8/10 Good

"Clean room, comfortable bed. Layout was a bit strange, with closet in rear of room instead of by the entry door. Breakfast was good, though limited somewhat. It was convenient to the WW II Days which we were attending both days. We plan on returning next year for WW II Days (too much to see in 2 days) and will stay at the La Quinta again. Good value for that weekend."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast and rooftop bar both were great experiences. The room was spacious and nicely furnished/decorated. The front desk staff the day of our check in was not welcoming or friendly. The curtains in our room were ripped from the curtain rod/rail so they could not be closed completely, the key card switch for the lights did not work and the door to our room stuck making it hard to close and open. Overall, it was a nice stay and we would still return. These were just some things that it would be nice to see addressed."
