What guests think

At Rainbow Lodge and Inn, travellers consistently highlight friendly, down-to-earth staff, clean and comfortable rooms with a no-frills feel, and good value, while noting the older property shows its age and maintenance in places.

Rooms lean vintage and comfortable, with layouts that vary from spacious to compact; several include kitchens or kitchenettes, and comfort can differ between quiet stays and occasional reports of thinner walls. Facilities center on an outdoor pool that is often praised but sometimes closed seasonally or less maintained, plus pet-friendly policies and at-door or covered parking that can be limited or awkward. The location offers easy access to Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, and Old Colorado City, with nearby dining and transit; a few guests thought the immediate area looked a bit tired. Expect a classic, budget-friendly stay with warm service and solid value.

Right near the Welcome to Manitou Springs arch and a few miles from Old Colorado City, Garden of the Gods, Cliff Dwellings, Wind Caves, The Incline and Cog Railway. Historic Motel in a so-so area, though we felt safe. Owned by an On-site family with free coffee, fruit and packaged danish each morning. Unfortunately, the in-ground pool was closed for the season during our early September stay, but I can see how it’d be lovely. Our room had a small kitchen, separate living room and patio. As expected with older buildings, our room was a little musty. Overall, this Motel made for a great little roadtrip with my daughter and our 2 dogs.

Stayed 4 nights on a holiday weekend. Convenience was the big plus, convenient to Manitou Springs-Hwy 24. Lots of eating choices in the immediate area, from local cafe's to fast-food chains, for all three meals. Encountered some minor problems, but staff & mangement was always friendly and responsive. Being a trip with my grandkids, the pool was a welcome feature for my group.

Lower price hotel. Owners of the property were very nice. Our room,1 king bed. The bathroom needed “Major” updating. Very small, no Counter space, door wouldn’t close. Bathtub fixtures loose, tub itself was chipped and starting to rust. Toilet paper holder mounted behind toilet hard to reach. Dirty/laminate floor and rug. Pictures on website of room were Misleading. Noisy rooms, paper thin walls, needed to run a/c unit to drowned out the noise. Location was good for the area.

Just an overnight stay and overall was fine. Bed was comfortable, shower was clean, but the smell was very strong. I think it was a mix of bleach and something else...not quite sure, but potent. Woke up in the middle of the night and it was still there.

This charming motel has a vintage vibe, but is updated just enough. The layout of the room was fantastic, as I'm traveling with a teenager, and with the beds on different walls, I could only see his feet. Two lovely wing chairs gave us a place to relax by the window. We will definitely return!

While this is no 5 star resort, it is well worth the money. Location was great. Only a few miles from downtown Manitou Springs and roughly a mile from Garden of the Gods this hotel was a great jumping off point. The room was a bit dated with pink tile in the bathroom and a bathroom sink that didn’t work so good, I really liked the room over all. It almost had an L shape to it where the 2 queen beds weren’t side by side like they are in traditional hotel rooms but each had its own “space”. The shower had some of the best water pressure I have ever had in a hotel, which I really appreciated. Room was clean, and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

This spot just gave me everything I needed. I wanted a place that would be comfortable enough to recharge as necessary, with a location that could set me up well for bouncing back and forth between Manitou Springs and Downtown Colorado Springs. The Rainbow Lodge delivered the comfort I was looking for, with their furniture and bedding, and topped it off with daily cleaning services as well. I hadn't even realized until I got there that this inn was located right across the way from a bus stop, but this ended up being really beneficial for me getting around (though its location also set me up well to walk to both Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City as well). And as the cherry on top, this place was able to deliver on all of my desires while providing that classic motel aesthetic. The value that I got was quite immense for a rather small pricetag, and I would certainly strongly consider staying here again if I'm ever back in town.
