The hotel is generally well-maintained and clean, with friendly staff and a convenient location. However, some guests have reported issues with noise from the highway and limited food options. Additionally, some guests have experienced problems with the water pressure and temperature in the showers.

    Close to highway so noisy. Clean but needs rehabbed badly. Needs new mattresses and for sure pillows. Would not stay again.

    Everyone was very kind at the hotel. Everything was clean. It's obvious that the hotel has seen better days and are in the midst of a facelift so to speak. But even so our stay was perfect.

    That being said it is an Econolodge. You are getting a place to sleep while enjoying all the activites of every room near yours. If someone sets their keys on an end table two doors down you WILL hear it. It also is near a main road and will be listening to sirens throughout the night. Nothing is perfect in life its okay for the money when traveling with pets.

    Checked in late evening (roughly 11pm) and departed before 7am. Turned in the keys at the front desk. About 7:15, a friendly worker called to see if we meant to return the keys, as we had a second night booked. We hadn't realized, but did mean to turn them in. She said she would leave a message for a manager to follow up with us about cancelling the second night. No one did, so I reached back out. I received a message saying the manager declined a refund. I sent further inquiry and received no response. Disappointing customer service, especially considering the very short stay. The property was clean, somewhat rundown, and under construction in parts. Given the managerial service, I would not recommend, as they seem unlikely to respond kindly to any issues that may arise during your stay.

    Guess you get what you pay for. Bed wasn’t comfortable at all with 3 flat pillows. Shower would only get lukewarm. Had no towels in the room. When we called to get towels and rags, staff only brought 2 small towels. My advice is to pay the little bit extra to have a good nights sleep and hot shower.

    This hotel is located right by a busy, raised highway. We stayed on the third floor and the noise level was ridiculously bad, even inside the room. It was hard to sleep at night because of the amount of noise. The hallways of the hotel are bright and clean, but the room itself, not so much. Repairs were needed and just done very sloppily and unprofessionally. The breakfast was pretty lame - a couple of types of cereal and a semi-working waffle maker was about the extent (with watered down juices). The beds were very uncomfortable.

    My room was absolutely filthy. Everything in the room was grossly dirty except the beds. There was dried vomit on the bathroom door & wall. There was dried urine around the bottom of the toilet. There was hair in the sink, sticky stains on the night stands, crumbs and debri all over the floor from the door to the bathroom. I was beyond disappointed and disgusted. The bedsheet was very clean but had several holes in it. The staff was extremely professional and helpful upon check in but unfortunately I would never stay here again.

    The bed was dirty with hair on it, there were ants in the bathroom, and it was obvious the room had not been properly cleaned. On top of that, some of the outlets didn’t work. The entire room felt unsanitary and uncomfortable. I went to the front desk right away to cancel, and they told me they couldn’t switch my room and that I would need to dispute the charge with my bank. I ended up leaving that same night and booking somewhere else. I did not stay here at all. The staff was absolutely horrible. Very disappointing experience.

They offer a free continental breakfast, but I have yet to check it out. I stay because they are almost half the cost of Holiday Inn and for me just as comfy.

    We booked a last minute stay here for a tournament in the area. I wasn’t sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of our room (seems to have been remodeled recently) and the rest of the inside of the Econo Lodge. The continental breakfast was very clean, but there wasn’t a ton of choices. It was mostly yogurt, toasts, cereal, and make your own waffles. All in all, it was a clean and easy stay and worked perfect for our needs.

    We were in town for a volleyball tournament. Kids and bags and every hotel sold out. The staff was extremely kind. They were above and beyong helpful. They let the teens come down late at night and use the hot water in the breakfast area to make ramen. We casually mentioned the microwave wasn't working, they were in the room to fix it in less than 5 minutes and had everything working. I stay at much higher rated hotels but have bever had such friendly service. I would absolutely stay here again.

    The temperature in the room, no matter what you set it at, always went back to 61'. By itself. Pillows were hard. I asked for late checkout, instead of 11 checkout at 12N. I am an IHG member and was immediately told no with no reason given. I wanted to explain i worked nights as a nurse and wanted to nap before my 2 hour drive home. And hotel wasnt even busy. Room was decent...paint peeling...chipped doors and furniture. Cable went out, so no tv for 2 hours. Only hot part of breakfast was the make your own waffles. Just not worth the low price to stay...i guess you get what you pay for.

    My overall stay at the Econo Lodge was satisfactory. The room featured a decently sized television; however, the remote did not allow for input selection, which required me to purchase a universal remote. While there were visible cracks in the sink and shower, the room itself was fairly clean and maintained to a reasonable standard. Considering the price point, the accommodations met expectations — you get what you pay for. The complimentary breakfast was typical for this type of property: simple, but adequate.

    The room was in decent overall condition, and it looked like both the interior and exterior had been freshly painted, which was a nice touch. The continental breakfast was standard fare but adequately stocked—nothing fancy, but it did the job. Parking was ample and well-lit, which made us feel secure coming and going. Overall, the property delivered exactly what we expected for the price point. And most importantly—no bugs! That’s always a win in my book.

    Room had dead roaches on floor. Guess it’s good they were dead? Bathtub was not clean. Tile in bath was cracked. Toilet paper was the lowest quality money could buy. Two tiny gray bath towels; I can’t imagine the ones they give you in jail are much smaller. Check in is yelling through a bullet-proof glass window and passing your id through a slot like a transaction at the currency exchange. In the bright side, it wasn’t $200/night

    The parking was fine we had a clean room and a room with basic cable TV. Yeah everything about the hotel was just very basic nothing special at all . The free continental breakfast was just ok not a lot choices no eggs, no sausage or bagels or anything good just cereal and a toaster for toast and a waffle iron. They also had juice yogurt and coffee of course but that was it. Not much to choose from.

    Me an my feance booked a king room here and the first issue was when we went to check in i rang the bell and the front person left me waiting for 5 minutes, then when he finally came up he charged me $50 for a check in fee. Then when we made it to our room the lock on the door was broken and they gave us a different room. The night before we left a junkie walked up to my feance and was aking him if he was with someone else and a bunch of really inappropriate questions when we left the cleaning lady stopped us with a nasty look and asked if we were leaving i think the best part about this place is your able to huck up your gaming system to the tv

    When I tried to access the second room, the key didn’t work. I had to go back to the office again, where the manager issued a new key and walked over to make sure it worked. However, when I asked for the new key, the manager responded with, “Do you know the difference between a red light and a green light on a door?” His tone came across as very condescending, which left a negative impression despite his effort to resolve the issue. Once inside the room, I noticed old candy wrappers in the garbage, and the interior looked like it had received the typical “landlord special” — a sloppy paint job with little attention to detail. Outside the room, there seemed to be a large amount of marijuana usage in the surrounding area, which made me feel uncomfortable for much of my stay. The breakfast was also disappointing. It consisted of only cereal, pastries, milk, and water. The juice dispenser was completely empty, and there was no batter available for the waffle maker. Overall, it felt like very little effort was put into providing a decent breakfast.

    Older hotel, next to the highway, though noise was not an issue. Lose proximity to drive to Hard Rock Casino. Rooms on 1st and 2nd enter from outside, 3rd floor has indoor access. Check in was through a service window and lobby was closed (7pm) which was uncomfortable and made conversation with desk clerk difficult. Rooms older and could use remodel. Bed comfy. Complimentary breakfast very basic with yogurt, toast, cereal, milk, juice and 1 waffle maker.

    A/C wasn't on in room and temp was 84. I could not figure out the wall thermostat. I hadn't needed to do anything previous stay as it was on when I got there. Several calls to desk gave me busy signal so I went back down. I use a walker. He was sitting on the chair with his feet up and immediately said "I told you you could call!" No he did not give me any of the usual instructions when I checked in. Apparently, since I had stayed there once before, a few weeks prior, it wasn't worth his time since the phone call was more important, I guess. When I told him what the issue was, he responded" You were here before!" I explained I hadn't had to deal with it last time as it was already on. He then grabbed a sheet showing the wall thermostat and showed which buttons to use. Perhaps that info would be of more use in the room. As I followed along and repeated the instructions, he became disgusted and angrily said he'd come up to the room. He stormed in, hastily stabbed at the buttons, setting the temp to 61 and then said, "There now you won't be too warm!". Absolutely unacceptable behavior. I am returning to Rockford in a couple months and will definitely not be staying there again.

No hellos, no smiles, no reception, no eye contact. Just asked if we had reservations. The woman was training the teenager and took a long time processing our payment and room. They did not look up at us. I don't need big fanfare at all but good customer service goes a long way. I am not going back.

    While the room and front desk staff were fine, I absentmindedly left my watch in the bathroom. (Secured around the shower curtain rod). After check out, I realized this and called later that evening. No one had checked in, so Front desk checked the room. She didn’t find the watch, and said the maintenance staff had not found it. She said she could not accuse the staff — that nothing like this has ever happened. But, I can blame them. And, I do.
