We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The person at the front desk offered us a room on the back side of the hotel, which had no highway noise. The room was very clean, and comfortable. The bed felt like ours at home. Very friendly staff.

I enjoyed my stay at Econo Lodge. As a single female traveler I felt safe and really appreciated getting a first floor room. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean. The only complaint I had was whoever was upstairs from me were noisy with walking heavily on the floor. A bit annoying.. otherwise I plan to come back next year when I'm in town. Thank you!

I asked for a room that would be better for a person that was older. Was given a room that had good bathroom safety bars and flexible shower head which both worked well.

Male checking me in was rude and unprofessional. Was on phone apparently trying to resolve a refund issue for someone and never paused that call to check me in. Had me sign in, told me it was the same room as last time and gave me the key card. 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.
