"The pillows(4) were terrible either lumpy or too soft. The TV was very poor for a quality hotel, only local channels with many of them buffering. I would have expected a Smart TV with streaming channels at least. Tried setting the A/C from 24deg to 26deg but after a couple of minutes it reverted to 24deg but other than that it was fine"

"I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the Rockford is. The rooms are a little dated but everything was lovely, the staff are some of the nicest, friendliest people I have ever encountered in a hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, easy parking and close walk to Rundle Mall. Will definitely stay again."
