This hotel was nice for the $. It was a little dated but super clean. We stayed in other hotels on our trip but none as clean as this. The people who own it were super nice too

Questions about Rainbow Motel

What time is check-in and check-out at Rainbow Motel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Rainbow Motel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Rainbow Motel?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Rainbow Motel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Rainbow Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Rainbow Motel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
