Holiday Inn Rockford(I-90&Rt 20/State St)

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 06 Dec 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

This Holiday Inn is one of the best - large with ample parking, great rooms/beds, nice shower, TV, a free business center/Internet and absolutely perfect location. Other than one very negative and grumpy older night clerk (who's been there forever, so I guess he's kind of an established Rockford character), the staff is simply amazing - attractive in both looks, knowledge and service.

Positives: Great location, staff, room, parking and amenities.

Negatives: Overly starched sheets maybe. I really liked this hotel.

My hot water did not work for almost 24 hours . Housekeeping with come into the room early in the morning to clean while my family and I were still in the bed.

Positives: Location and price.

Negatives: No hot water and strange housekeepers.

Very nice hotel, the Internet was free, and blazing fast, I had absolutely no issues trying to connect and was able to do work on my computer hassle-free. I would not consider this hotel as 'Upscale' I would give the hotel a 2.5 star rating.

Positives: The sports bar had very good beer and bar food prices.

Negatives: The television was old and small.

The hotel was very good and clean. The bed was comfortable and the staff very attentive. My only problems were with the large groups that were booked there for weekend activities, they were very noisy and rude at times. This is not the hotel's fault of course but made the overnight stay much less than optimal.

Positives: location was perfect

Negatives: too much noise at late night

Adequate stay. Rooms were fine. Pillows were horrible. Probably a little overpriced for hotel.

Positives: Rooms were clean.

Negatives: Whole building seemed damp.

Was met at the counter of hotel and waited 20 minutes to be waited on. Hotel staff were not helpful at all and were rude at times. I asked for a roll away bed for each room and was told they probably would not have any. A Holidome that large would not have 2 rollaway beds? They should have had 4 rollaway beds. Rooms were absolutely disgustingly dirty. Bathroom had dirty water spots all over each ceiling tile in each room. No deodorizing in rooms. I had to take these rooms because there were no other rooms available in the city and I paid full price for each room. I would not let a dog stay there. The carpet was wet in my room and the air conditioning worked only on low. When asked to speak with the General Manager was told that he was not available. Took down his name though. Mr. Siener will be hearing from me personally. I am an Employment Specialist in Chicago Illinois and work with all the major hotels in the downtown area. I send potential job seekers to all hotels. I have seen many hotels and met with their top human resource managers.

Positives: I did not like anything about this hotel.

Negatives: Where do you start?

Overall, the experience was very satisfactory.

Positives: The swimming area.

Negatives: It needs some updates like new carpet.

Very good for an overnight get away. The check in staff were slow and disorganized, but seemed to be doing their best to ensure everyone was happy. The hotel itself was very clean and well maintained. I would definitely consider staying here again if I were in the area.

Positives: Very clean, and very pleasant.

Negatives: The check in staff seemed very disorganized.

Good, clean, surprisingly well insulated for sound, always nice to have a restaurant and lounge on the premises, convenient location for food, shopping and the rest of the town and Interstates.

Positives: Room quiet and large.

Negatives: Kitchen closed in lounge at 10 p.m.
