Embassy Suites by Hilton Rockford Riverfront
It was great, person who helped us at checkout had zero personality, but the nice lady who checked us in was great. The hotel was wonderful, very nice breakfast, the staff at the breakfast were very friendly. So was the bartender the night before. Will stay here again for sure.
