Awesome stay

Had a great 2 night stay here. Plenty of character, friendly staff, quite clean. It’s a converted old factory and they have managed to capture the industrial decor trend while also maintaining coziness - hard to do! I had a great and very boozy cocktail at the rooftop bar. I stay in hotels pretty often for work and this one stood out to me in a good way. Worth your time and money!

Great experience!

Reviewed By SmokeyBlueTulle

The sunny personality staff at Check-in and at the breakfast buffet were refreshing. The room was immaculate and large! The bed was firm and comfortable. The water pressure was hearty and the exhaust fan worked great! Despite a ton of travel ball teens, the hotel was silent. We were able to park across from the entrance. I’d stay again if given the chance!

Great room, pricey!

Great space - probably more amenties than we needed for a one-night stay, but would have been great for an extended visit - kitchenette, etc. Front desk staff pleasant, not terribly on point re. location of elevator, amenties, etc. Breatkfast very good, and good employee - on point! I'm accepting the fact that hotel prices are high this time of year.

Not Worth Price

Reviewed By samlam2022

The rooms were average but for the price they were very small and nothing special. The hallways are disgusting. There is no pool or hot tub. The workout room is big enough for one person possibly two but it’s tight. Deep breakfast closed before the time it listed on the website. There is no information given. Check in process takes a long time. Requires you to sign a bunch of paperwork. The location is not great. There is no view other than a highway and gas station. It is 30 minutes to an hour from the residential part of Rockford and at least 30 minutes to get to any stores like clothing stores or O’Reilly‘s.
