Rainbow Motel

We had the best time staying here! Pool was great, pool was great, chatting with the owners over morning coffee was.... also great! Affordable, close to all the touristy stuff, def will go back!

While I feel there is deferred maintenance, and am disappointed about the broken window I am still giving this place 4 stars for the cleanliness and atmosphere.Cons:- none of my communications through Booking.com were awnsered so I had to call and confirm I could bring my dog.- the window in the bathroom was broken (frame was apart and glass was just sitting there). I spoke to the gentleman at the desk about this after checking in and he said they were aware and have been unable to get a person out to replace it. Room 140.- only one room key- one out of the two queen beds had a terrible sag and was very uncomfortable.- terrible finishing skills on tile and trim work. Definitely not done by a professional or even someone knowledgeable.- no alarm clock or radio- freezer door broken so it froze all of our fridge goods.- no extra towels given for 4 guestsNow all of the good stuff:- Clean!!!- comfortable pillows and 1/2 beds - good atmosphere - fridge/microwave - Wi-Fi and cable- huge tub- large pool, heated but still frigid.- plenty of outside seating- walking distance to shops and food

This is a review for a 2-night stay at the Rainbow Lodge Motel while visiting the Colorado Springs area.Check-in was a breeze and the guy working was super friendly and even let me pet his yorkie. What an adorable little thing!The parking lot is a little tight so be careful getting in and out so you don't get hit or hit someone accidentally.The room was satisfactory for the price tag and was clean enough. It had a small refrigerator and microwave, a full body mirror, a lamp on each side of the bed, an adorable desk with a lamp, a plastic bouquet and a chair. Bathroom was found clean and well-maintained.Continental breakfast is free and consisted of some mini muffins, danishes, fruits, cereal, tea, coffee and orange juice. There are plenty of brochures for activities in the area and other information if you haven't done your research ahead of time. Overall, the place is fine and is located very close to the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. So why the 3 stars? Well, read on...There are a few details during our stay that were a tad bit disturbing and the reasons why I can't give this place a 4 or a 5-star rating:1) The shower. The shower head was down way too low so if you're over 5'5 you might have an issue and will have to bend down to wash your hair. I don't have that problem but I can see it being an issue for someone taller than myself. The water did not stay at a constant temperature. It kept going from too hot to the temperature I set it to before getting into the tub. It was very annoying. Also, there was a bit of mold traces at the bottom of the shower curtain.2) The bed. It was a king and was fine until I poked my leg with something (did not draw blood, it was more like a small painful prick on the skin surface). Further investigation led to the finding of a bent sewing pin, the kind they use to mark the spot during alterations. How did that get in there?3) Toilet is way too low. Maybe I just have a taller toilet at home but this one is way down low so be careful.4) Water pressure is funky perhaps? The sink will shoot out water all over you. Whatever the case is, there's something odd with the plumbing.I think in the end, I am actually being very fair and nice rating this place a 3-star.

Stayed in the off-season. Room was clean and spacious. Staff were accommodating when we had to reschedule our stay due to weather. Perfect location for traveling with dogs-- near a nice path along Fountain Creek, near Garden of the Gods, tons of restaurants. Only challenge was owner was hard to get ahold of to make changes and to check out, but again-- it was off-season and the place is independently (family?) owned so it's something to know but clearly not a deal breaker.

Thank you Yelp for confirming that Rainbow Motel would be a winner before we arrived for our stay (which, I must add, is located only a mile up the road from Garden of the Gods!). Key "love" factors of this adorable Western roadside motel: updated rooms (impressive and cozy decor), kitchenettes, granite counter tops, friendly and helpful owners, complimentary breakfast (cereals, yogurt, fruit - try the buttery crescent rolls), outdoor pool in the front of the property, safe and peaceful vibe and AWESOME prices ($72 - $92). I enjoyed this place so much that I just booked it again for a trip later this summer!

I am giving 5 stars because I have no reason to deduct for anything. The room was cozy and recently remodeled. It was clean and quiet. And a great value for the money. They even have a free breakfast. It's all carbs, but hey - it's free!And the location?!! Can't be beat! Close to Garden of the Gods and DT Manatou springs.

We loooved our stay here! I don't often rave about about a motel (I mean how often is a motel more than just OK?) but the Rainbow Motel really surprised us. We stayed during the first week of September when the lovely pool was open and the weather was perfect. We had it so nice here that we actually stayed a second night. For $55 they gave us a queen room that was decorated so nicely, very clean, and has the most comfortable bed and linens I've ever experienced in a motel. Very high thread count linens, which made our sleep so soft and luxurious. Our room also had one of the coolest shower stalls I've ever seen at a motel/hotel - slick black tiles and an enclosed space that makes you feel so comfortable. It accommodates two people very well....The motel has benches and chairs scattered around everywhere, so you have plenty of areas to sit and lounge at. Try to get one of the rooms by the pool, which have little decks with chairs and a table. We had a great time sitting there in the evening sipping beer and reading our paperbacks. The one thing that they definitely need to work at is the "free high speed internet". We could hardly connect and when we did, it was too slow to use. They either need to fix this, install a couple more routers around the area, or remove the large "HIGH SPEED INTERNET" sign in the yard. Other than that, thank you Rainbow Motel for a wonderful stay!

Super clean rooms. Updated bathroomThe bed sheets smell like Gain laundry detergent. We stayed 2 night. Bed was so comfortable we slept past noon our first day. Drove up Pikes Peak and it was worth it. It's mighty cold up there, bring winter wear. Cute town but very touristy.

I was a bit skeptical at first, because the outside wasn't exactly what I was expecting. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the room! It was very clean, had comfortable beds, and was very reasonably priced. The fridge and microwave worked well, and there was plenty of hot water. (We have a family of 5). Would definitely stay here again!!

Vintage property with a lovely pool and great location! We stayed in the two bedroom cottage and had a nice deck with stairs that led to the pool. The owner/operators were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again...bargain!
