We stayed as a group for the Derby. The rooms were gross, my tub was dirty, the towels and wash rags were hard as rocks, mine did not have a working phone or alarm, and the sheets were stained. The pool lights were not all on, no chlorine, no towels (or extras at the front desk), the jets did not... more

There are two Howard Johnson Hotels in Rockford. The other one looks better. This one is located on the south side on 11th st. and was so bad that after 45minutes I decided to check out. The room was dirty, internet barely worked and I was in room 207 only a few feet from the lobby. The lights were very... more

This guests review is 100% accurate. We are sincerely apologetic that this was the true scenario, however this property has recently went through a major renovation. As a matter of fact, this guest had stayed with us during this renovation period. The guest was accidentaly placed in a room which was not ready. This is why you can see the...

Our soccer team was desperate for group accommodations for a tournament in Rockford. We were able to book 15 rooms at HJ -- no wonder with the list of complaints from my team! The parking lot was packed Friday night with guys guzzling 40 oz'ers. The manager was asleep and has to be awakened. One mom and teen drove through... more

I tellthe manager and he says... more

Never, under any circumstances, should anyone attempt to stay at this hotel. It is in a terrible location and very unsafe. You enter the "lobby" and are greeted by bullet proof glass enclosing a rude clerk. If this isn't enough to scare you then wait until you walk to your room. The rooms are not clean and although I did... more

We booked this property on line and saw they had a hot tub and indoor pool. Don't let the pictures fool you. The property is not clean, smelly, and the staff was very rude in letting us know that children cannot even touch the water in the hot tub. We found out later that you have a 15 minute inspection... more

Someone from our group booked this hotel. After reading the other review I did treat myself to another hotel before this one to brace myself for what was coming. A few of us woke up to spider bites the next day. When unpacking out came a spider. the arcade charged 75 cets per game. yikes ! This arcade room had... more

I recently stayed at this hotel after booking it through an on-line booking source. I went to the HJ website to view photos and after arriving at the hotel I found these photos very deceiving! After checking in I was greeted with a sign on the door explaining that all trespassers would be prosecuted, that made me feel real safe.... more
