What guests think
At Rainbow Lodge, travelers often find clean, comfortable, and affordable rooms in a convenient South Fork location, while reporting mixed experiences with the self-service check-in, inconsistent maintenance, and varying climate control or noise from older heaters and air-conditioning units.
Many appreciate the spacious layouts and cabin-style units, plus quiet nights and easy walks to a nearby market and Mexican restaurant. Cleanliness is often praised, yet recurrent issues include unprepared rooms, dirty or stained linens, and strong deodorizer smells. Overall, expect simple, good-value lodging with variable upkeep and amenities.

Did not get one of the cabins with the beds that I was expecting from our reservation. Not sure why not. This was a bit small for our group. Called and asked about kitchen utensils so was surprised to find only 2 bowls, 3 plates, no spoons and 3 cups after I was told it was fully stocked. Stove/oven needed to be lit but no sparker, lighter or matches were provided. Cleanliness wasn't an issue but many items were "fixed" or improved by someone who didn't know what they were doing and didn't work well.

The lodge is great and a real value. I was SO-oooo tired that I had to pull over for sleep. Was glad I did - it was quiet, clean and convenient. Would stay there again. It is dog friendly and feels totally safe. It is not fancy - so, if you're the kind of person who needs ultra-modern and turn-down service, this is not the place for you.

We were looking for dog friendly hotel rooms. I wish Hotels.com put the price if applicable for pets in the hotel room. When we arrive at the hotel the fee was $25.00 a day per dog. This room was well worn and nothing fancy. To charge anything for pets is a joke. The place was overpriced to begin with. Will not stay there again.

Loved this vintage stay. Comfortable mattress, great heater, good water pressure in the showers. The room even came with a box fan and a portable heater. Only improvements I could recommend would be hook in the bathroom close to the shower to hold your towel. Room even came with a burner and pots and pans.

The reason I booked this place was for the kitchen to prepare meals. Kitchen was very poorly equipped and dated. Inside cabinets were dirty and dusty. Had miscellaneous items but not anything to prepare basic meals or to serve a meal. You could see some updates of wall’s, floor, and bathroom. Fine for a place to sleep.

I stayed here for the weekend (~3 days). After a fairly rough check-in, I walked into the room to find it had not been cleaned after the last occupant had left. I communicated with the staff, but the process was clunky and irritating. After figuring out that every message I sent had to have a corresponding e-mail response, I was finally able to convey the problem. The result? I was moved across the street for the night, and the room was cleaned the next day. The room was okay. The air conditioner / heater was noisy, but that is all I have to say that was really bad about it. No, my main gripe is the awkwardness of the check-in process and messaging the concierge-service/front-desk. Everything else was more or less fine.

Room was fine, bed was comfortable, about average for an older motel. A clock on the nightstand would be nice (I set the clock on the microwave). Vinyl floor needed to be wet mopped; when I got a shower, my footprints in the tub left dirt from the floor.

The check in process was difficult, waited around 30 minutes in the cold to get to our room. Once Inside my family wanted to rest but we couldnt because we found hairs on one of the beds. I then requested additional sheets to replace the dirty ones but they were still dirty. I requested the sheets again and the manager screamed at me through the phone, eventually after arguing I exchanged the sheets for a new pair eventhough they were still dirty. Despite being a pet friendly hotel, this doesnt mean I should expect the sheets to have hairs on them upon arrival!!!!

I had an… interesting experience with this place, which I may have already reviewed. First, the check-in and process and the communication with the concierge service is completely electronic. There is no actual attendant on the premises. This could be okay if it were done well and using the correct technology, but that very much not the case. The system is clumsy, awkward and disjointed. Good luck with that. Second, when I actually *did* manage to fumble my way through the process of getting into my room, I found that the room was in complete disarray. The cleaning staff had done absolutely *nothing* after the last guest. There was even about 2/3 of a pizza left next to the television. Personally, I lay the blame less on the cleaning staff than I do the communication, if getting into my room was evidence enough. After more fumbling with the communication, I eventually began a disjointed conversation with the concierge service on duty. He/they apologized and got me a room on the other side of the street. That was sufficient, because it was sort of an upgrade. The day after they moved me back to the room I was originally supposed to have. As to the room I was supposed to have, I really only have two complaints: there were not enough blankets for the season, (and this is coming from someone who has been consistently described as being hot-blooded,) and the heater/A/C was so noisy that I was having difficulty hearing phone conversations. Other than that, it was fine.

This place is an older motel that has been redone on the inside. From the pictures on Expedia, I expected it would be a small, newer cabin-type room (also given that it's connected to an RV park). But once we got inside, it was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It's right on highway 160, which can be loud. But with the room ventilation fan provided the white noise we needed to keep road noise out. There is no front desk, just direct access to the room. For the price, I think it's a good value and I would stay there again.

Rainbow Lodge is a great and convenient location for day-trips / back-country touring in Southfork area. Rooms are large, nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. The only reason I rated this Lodge as a 4 is because the rooms have no A/C....owner says it is because it is not needed.....temps dip to mid 50's overnight. The problem is the rooms heat up during the day and it was difficult to rest in a warm room while waiting for the cool down to occur. The windows had no screens, so I was not comfortable leaving windows open to assist with cool-down. The owner was very nice to provide a fan for us....which helped tremendously.

There aren’t a lot of choices in South Fork, CO, but this rundown old motel has seen better days. We never saw an employee. We arrived after their limited office hours (we were there before 5) and never saw anyone when we checked out the next morning. Although everything was very dated, it was reasonably clean and comfortable. Our bedroom had vinyl horizontal blinds (which were broken) and there is no air conditioning. So we had the window open all night and were woken up by the bright sun in our eyes just after dawn.

But once we got inside, it was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. It's right on highway 160, which can be loud. But with the room ventilation fan provided the white noise we needed to keep road noise out. There is no front desk, just direct access to the room. For the price, I think it's a good value and I would stay there again.

The lodge is great and a real value. I was SO-oooo tired that I had to pull over for sleep. Was glad I did - it was quiet, clean and convenient. Would stay there again. It is dog friendly and feels totally safe. It is not fancy - so, if you're the kind of person who needs ultra-modern and turn-down service, this is not the place for you.

Rainbow Lodge is a great and convenient location for day-trips / back-country touring in Southfork area. Rooms are large, nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. The only reason I rated this Lodge as a 4 is because the rooms have no A/C....owner says it is because it is not needed.....temps dip to mid 50's overnight. The problem is the rooms heat up during the day and it was difficult to rest in a warm room while waiting for the cool down to occur. The windows had no screens, so I was not comfortable leaving windows open to assist with cool-down. The owner was very nice to provide a fan for us....which helped tremendously.

Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. The room did get a little warm as I couldn't seem to locate an A/C. Check in was easy. The town does not have many food options.

Love the electronic check in process, it was super easy and convenient! The property is an old school style motel that is clean and safe and next door to a great Mexican restaurant. Can't beat the value!

Want a room with NO USB ports? How about a room with no clock? Well, how about a room with difficult access to an electric outlet wall plug? Not enough? How about a room with no climate control? Well then, you've come to the right place. But be prepared and bring your own USB brick to charge your devices, and also get ready to physically move furniture to get your brick into a plug. Nice place, nice people. Hello, 21st century calling... please CATCH UP.

Room was right on highway. AC fan was really loud. The shower saw was incredibly dangerously slippery.
