Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront

Location: Proximity to BMO Center and scenic river views; walking distance to attractions.

This hotel is a conversion from a factory which makes it a one-of-a-kind experience. Although it doesn't have rooms surrounding an atrium as traditional embassy suites have, this hotel offers Even larger rooms, has a lot of information on the history of the building, even has some of the line equipment still installed in the ceiling on the one floor has an interesting accent. The floor the hallways are the ends of boards that have been stained. The game room is good though. The air hockey was missing the puck. The pool was larger than most in the hot tub was excellent. The elevators are a bit unique as you pick the floor that you're going be traveling to before you enter them. On the first morning, the breakfast for the most part was made to order but the second day it was more of the traditional buffet with still having the omelets made to order. The reception of the three embassy suite properties we stayed at had the most variety and rotated what they had from day to day. The beds were okay. My relatives were fine with them but I had some slight issues due to my back problems. The pull sofa bed was noted as being the best of the three that we stayed in from the relative who stayed in that bed. Parking is a little bit confusing at this location as it is City parking. On the weekends. The parking was free but on the weekdays you have to pay for it. The guidance provided on the signs the city put up can be a little bit confusing but that's not the hotel's fault. Obviously. You can pay for the parking through the city which will save you money or you can pay the hotel for enough charge. I recommend this to anyone and drive put this at the top of my list should I come back to Rockford again.

Interesting historic building. The room was dirty with food on the floor and furniture, the maid removed our used towels and did not replace them, we were charged for parking on a free weekend day; the front desk staff seemed unconcerned about these issues.
