Howard Johnson Hotel Rockford, IL and politics

a hotel with great potential but poorly managed
a description of what happened below


the swimming pool parts were closed such as the children's mini pool the restaurant and conference rooms were closed till feather notice. the tennis court had weeds and no net .the landscaping had a little to be desired litter and wood chips unmaintained . slight litter around location, 20 foot wide puddle in the driveway . patio windows were dirty . my patio has someone else's socks hanging from them and it has a cigarette but on the ground . the patio area table has a foot and a half crack in it . the bathroom had two of three missing screws holding on the severely cracked light fixture it had missing patio chairs or you might or might not get a patio chair with your room. the maintenance rooms were open to the swimming pool. the ice machine gave out little ice the ice machine on the second floor is out of order . i wish they had someone in the pool area for hospitality reasons . this appears like a one or two man operation. they have the right stuff but put together wrong , such as the Sauna in the bathrooms . the pool with little lounging areas and no lobby area . if they hired a 2 extra people to take care of the place and payed people a dollar extra i guess things would be better . its a older hotel that needs a little love . the halls did have a smell like the other reviews i can't measure how bad it was . their are a few other things that make you say umm but i'll pass it was $50 getting what i pay for .
