Top Nelson Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Rock Falls by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Holiday Inn Express Dixon By Ihg

8/10 Good

"The hotel was being remodeled but even in spite of that it was clean and quiet and the hotel staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rock Falls, IL

8/10 Good

"I was a bit concerned on the way to the hotel since some of the reviews were less than good. I am happy to say the room and hotel were clean. Staff was pleasant. A few issues: 1) I was in room 127. Ground level. One of the windows to the outside could not be locked and there was no screen on that window. I had a metal item that I was able to use to keep it from being opened from the outside. This needs to be fixed. 2) the east door to the parking lot seemed to be unlocked at all times, even at night. It had a card reader for security, but it was either broken or just not activated. This is a relatively safe area, but security is always important. 3) Room only had one washcloth and I asked for another but they were all out. I was given a couple of smaller handtowels. Some attention to these things would elevate overall ratings, I am sure."

Tru By Hilton Dixon

10/10 Excellent

"This is where you want to stay if you're in the area. The property is brand new and even smells like a new building. Front staff couldn't have been nicer. Room is clean and entire property as well. Little details like the board with all the recommendations of restaurants and local services make the place feel like everyone cares. We'll be back again if we're coming to the area"

Super 8 by Wyndham Rock Falls Sterling Area

8/10 Good

"Shower was old and needs updating. Breakfast was poor and misleading"

Getaway Cabin on the Rock River, enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful home to relax and do some fishing. Had a great time, house was awesome right on the river and the town Oregon was a great place to visit from the parks and the restaurants just what we needed to get some peace and tranquility. Love to come back again."

Rockfalls Inn & Suite

8/10 Good

"Under remodeling. Long ways to go. Should be a great hotel when finished. Our room had been remodeled, it was great. Breakfast and Bar/restaurant are a work in progress. Great potential someday."

Cabin on private lake with beach area and dock

8/10 Good

"Great property."

Riverfront, swimming pool, hot tub, pickleball court, basketball, billiard

8/10 Good

"The location was just what I was looking for. We never saw a person while there. The check in was all virtual and was a little clunky but very quick response. If you like traveling and being introduced by a nice person, none of that at all. The house is older but updated and we liked it. There are very STEEP stairs getting to the bedrooms. I would NOT stay here at all unless you can do very thin and steep stairs The outdoors is wonderful. I would stay here again but personally feel the stairs are an issue and would not allow small kids or adults who are weak at all use them."
