Excellent Stay at Express & Suites
Pros:

Friend and I stayed at this location for 3-day weekend while visiting the local Rock Falls/Sterling area. We chose this hotel because it had a larger suite room available as well as being near many of the places that we wanted to visit. Both of these qualities made it a convenient home base where we could relax and refresh.

Both our room and the entirety of the hotel were very clean and well-maintained. Room was spacious enough for our needs, and beds/couch were comfortable for resting. Nice view from the window, and minimal noise from the hallway and surrounding rooms. Plenty of amenities offered, such as fitness room and swimming pool. We were especially impressed with the breakfast selection in the mornings, which included a good variety of warm and cool options. Plenty to eat, which helped reduce our food budget for the weekend.

Prices are not cheap, but we probably got more value from our stay than what we were charged (i.e., well worth the cost). Service was also top notch throughout our stay. Everyone was polite and professional.

Pros:

Nice. Clean. Quiet. On river with sidewalk, sunset walk was nice. Had king bed-balcony room and bed was firm but not hard.

Cons:

Parking lot didn't have any room for trailer parking. Felt bad and took up 3 spots. Balcony had no light.

The best place in Rock Falls by far
Pros:

The best hotel in the Rock Falls /Sterling area. The facilities were very clean and the bed and pillows were excellent. Very nice to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room and 24 hour coffee and hot water in the breakfast area. Ample parking. Our room had a shower only, fine for us but if wanting a bathtub make sure to check the room description. Overall a great stay.

Cons:

It is unfortunate that a hotel of this standard did not put in better windows. We faced the "city" and motorcycles gunning up and down the road Saturday night was a bit of an issue. Go for the river side if you want a peaceful nights sleep.

Great place!
Pros:

We booked several rooms here for a family funeral in Rock Falls. We could not have been more pleased with everything about it. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the pool was warm and clean, and they even worked with us to give us the meeting room area to have a family dinner! The breakfast was plentiful and tasty... with something for everyone in our group... ages 2-87! The staff went above and beyond to make our entire family group welcome and comfortable! Highly recommend staying here!!
