ROCKFORD, Mich. (via WOOD TV) — The City of Rockford is planning to break ground soon on a boutique style, suites-only hotel along Main Street.
The three story, 54-room Hotel Rose will be located at 12 South Main Street and include an indoor pool, fitness center, 170-seat banquet room, parlor, lobby bar and restaurant.
Project managers say the hotel will also have a turn of the century style porch with wooden tables, chain-hang chandeliers and rocking chairs. Officials say there will also be bike storage for guests and pedestrians.
While the plans also call for designated parking, some Rockford business owners are concerned the proposed hotel's location could eliminate valuable downtown parking spaces.
“I want it to fit in with the Rockford community and be part of the community. I think that’s the most important thing,” said Barb Stein, who’s owned The Great Northern Trading Company for the last 42 years.
