Baymont by Wyndham Rockford

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel with nice rooms and friendly staff. There is a small amount of noise from truckers using air brakes on a newrby road, but not too bad. We were underwhelmed with breakfast selections. Generally a nice hotel and I would likely return."

Courtyard by Marriott Rockford

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Courtyard by Marriot in Rockford Illinois. The only disappointment was that the pool had to close inorder to recalibrate the chlorine levels and it was during the only block of time we had to let our 2 year grandson to practice swimming. Overall a great stay!"
