We had a great stay at Cliffbreakers resort. The rooms were large with a great view overlooking the Rock River. The staff was courteous and happy to meet the needs of our large group. We had sveral small children in our group. The food in the restaurant was fantastic and the Sunday brunch was great. Nice location with adjacent park and 5+ miles running/biking path.

Fantastic, Unique Hotel with Great Food and Excellent River Views

Our extended family spent a weekend at Cliffbreakers and came away very impressed. The hotel space is very cool and unique with priceless antiques, sculptures, antique furnishings and more. It's not at all your typical hotel, which made the stay even nicer. Our room was a two story room with two full bathrooms and was very large and comfortable, with a view of the river (see further below for more about the river/views). If you're a high roller, check out one of their great themed rooms, such as the Sultan room, decked out with antique furnishings fitting the theme.
The restaurants, bars and banquet spaces were equally as unique and have a wonderful ambiance. Each meal we had was fantastic, service was good and the food was reasonably priced. The Sunday brunch is a MUST!!! It was one of the best brunches I have ever had, endless selections of breakfast food, lunch food and deserts and each was better than the last. You have to try the Eggs Florentine and Eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise sauce.
The hotel sits on top of the bluff overlooking the river and has amazing views. There are nice decks that stretch along the backside of the hotel so you can enjoy the views while having a nice cocktail or dinner. In addition, if you cross the river there is a nice playground (for the kids) and a nice running/bike path that goes for miles along the river. You can even rent bikes at Cliffbreakers for a ride along the path.
I highly recommend Cliffbreakers!

We had a fantastic experience staying at Cliffbreakers this past weekend. This hotel trumps any chain hotel by a long shot with such great history and unique character that you just don't find at ordinary hotels...much less all in one place anywhere! We were lucky to be given a tour to learn the history behind all the interesting antiques and special one-of-a-kind pieces that were carefully selected from all over the World, and tastefully arranged in the hotel. We enjoyed having nice cocktails in the fancy Martini Lounge, and then casual beers in the Tap Room, before feasting on an amazing dinner in the restaurant. We met the new Chef, Philipe, who came out to speak with guests to be sure that everyone loved their meals. We certainly loved every bite of it...as well as the service and ambiance! It was nice to enjoy fine dining cuisine at very reasonable prices. Unlike most restaurants of this caliber, we did not leave hungry and have to go to get fast food to fill us up afterwards! Our room was large and decor tasteful, views were great, and bed was very comfy! We made the great decision to stay for the champagne brunch on Sunday. We were amazed at how much food there was...great selection of breakfast and lunch/dinner entrees, and not just your typical stuff! VERY GOOD...and very inexpensive for that kind of spread, including mimosas! We got a peek of a few wedding receptions taking place on Saturday night...and boy did I wish my wedding reception had been there...beautiful chandeliers and set-up from head-to-toe! Service and friendliness of the staff was impeccable the entire stay, and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. We would not hesitate to re-visit and recommend Cliffbreakers to our friends and family!

We stayed at Cliff Breakers and had a wonderful time! The rooms are huge - we even had an upstairs plus a fireplace. The room overlooked the Rock River which made for a spectacular view.
To top off the weekend, the hotel's restaurant offered a spectacular champagne brunch on Sunday!
If you plan to visit Rockford, you need to stay and eat at Cliff Breakers.

Though only a dozen years open, the antiques used throughout make this a very charming stay with a feel of European grandeur. The meals were well prepared and presented. We will be staying again.
