What guests think

Rainbow Motel delivers a simple, old-school stay in a convenient spot near downtown and local events, with compact rooms and frequent road or train noise being the main trade-offs guests cited for the price.

Amenities are no frills and limited, though several reviews note a small courtyard or picnic seating. Service is widely praised for friendliness, responsiveness, and clear communication, including late arrivals. Cleanliness is often strong, but some guests reported odors, stained bedding, flies, and one detailed an AC problem, while a few felt the surrounding area or nearby construction detracted from comfort. Expect basic, good-value lodging prioritizing convenience over extras.

Such a cute little place, and so close to downtown breweries, restaurants, and shops. The hotel manager communicated very well with me about check in, stopped by to see if we needed anything, and was very kind. The property had a little fenced in area with a "lawn" of astroturf, leaving room to play safely with kids. There were also vintage glider benches, and we enjoyed the sunset. The only downside is that the motel is on the highway and the road noise is a little annoying.

Super easy check in. Room was small but had everything we needed. Great shower pressure and hot water never ran out. Room could use more light and more shelving to put things, especially in bathroom. Relatively quiet despite noise from highway outside. Easy parking. Great value.

The Rainbow Motel was such a treat! Not fancy, but clean, well-appointed, comfortable bed, good AC, TV, mini fridge, shower. Picnic table outside. Extremely good value! Super nice front desk guy! This retro motel really takes you back! Highly recommend!

The area was close to the Greeley Blues Jam. Within walking distance. The motel has been remodeled. Our room was small, but adequate. Beds were very comfortable. It’s a no frills kind of place. Sitting area in courtyard. Has a small refrigerator in room, the motel staff found us a microwave to use. It’s easy to find. Motel staff pleasant.

The property was within walking distance to the Greeley Stampede. This is a nice little motel. It is not a lavish hotel. If you are just staying the night for the Stampede or some other event than this will suit your needs.

This is an old school motel. Amenities are limited, which we expected. Staff was excellent and accommodating. We very much appreciated that. It was pretty noisy the first night. The walls are a bit thin. We kept the A/C fan running the second night and slept much better. This is just north of downtown, very convenient for what we were doing that weekend. The value was there for us.

Management is AWESOME and will bend over backwards to accommodate and help! I am a Home Hemo dialysis patient and travel with my dialysis machine and supplies. They were very helpful getting me the space and things i needed to be able to dialize while i was there. The property has been completely remodeled, is clean and new.

We come tto a motel to get away and relax. Not this time i come back from work to find my room is at 90 degrees and the A/C is blowing hot air I shut it down lifted the inspection door the filter was 1/2 thick with dust and dirt the A/C was frozen after cleaning the Filters in the shower and defrosted the unit it was 5:45 am and just finaly started the unit and no sleep. Owners offered a 25.00 refund the onsite manager was awesome worked with me and stuff but would have thought after putting 4.5 hours of maintenance in a room I paid for they would have comped a night. I know when I do A/C work at my shop i am paid $135.00 hour. The A/C still needs to be topped off with refrigerant before it will perform at peak performance. I guess the next time someone helps me i am going to charge themfor doing so. But like i said the onsite management was very helpful and very nice .if it wasn’t for them this review would have been a total bomb on the property

Adequate, but I won't stay here again. Too many flies in the room and the construction noise from outside was too much. Also, every time the AC kicked on it woke me up.

Check in was very straight forward and the beds were comfortable. The room was clean and it was walking distance to a brewery and gas station. My only complaint would be the size of the room - my husband and I were trying to get ready for the rodeo and space was extremely limited. A shelf in the bathroom and better rail for hanging clothes would help a lot.
