Rainbow Motor Inn - By the Falls

Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs! Smell of marijuana in first room on top of it being broken and EXTREMELY dirty. The mirror was just on the floor leaned against the stained wall, stains on the curtains and bedding, slimy bathtub, non working heat. Second room: stains, broken outlet, fixtures missing bulbs, water would sporadically come out scalding hot, cogarette butts, dog food behind the doors, towel Rack hanging out of the wall, spider / cob webs everywhere. The staff was EXTREMELY rude and said "what do you expect at a 2 star hotel", we paid our first night to just WALK OUT and NOT have to stay. Paid a little more to stay at the motel 6 down the road which was great. Please see attached pictures.

Relatively clean accommodation but the reception was smelly and piled up with junk. Very very outdated. Only a short walk to the falls but a steep uphill climb on the way back so not suitable for elderly it disabled. Not recommended

I am sorry as I don't like to write a bad review. I wish I had read some before we went. We checked in (office has a fousty smell), then went to our rooms. Ours wasn't as bad as the other room we rented. My husband refused to sleep there and the other couple said no way. Parts of the rooms are updated. Very nice Jacuzzi. But the room had a bad smell and everything is very outdated. Smell may be mold? We requested a refund and left. Staff was very polite about it.

This place needs a good cleaning and a visit from the health board as its not fit to have anyone stay at it unless you have no standards at all and your not planning on getting any sleep and partying. This motor inn is disgusting and not even worth paying $30 a night and the parking is a joke as they save no spots for paying guests so if you drive then advoid this place. If you stay here against reading the reviews then your taking your own risks because you would be an idiot to stay here and waste your money.

The location is great. We selected this property to stay at over the weekend of June 23 because they are one of the few hotels that accept pets. We cannot kennel our dog or have him stay with anyone due to major separation anxiety. First of all, a warning to anyone booking. If you plan to drive around during the day, don't expect to come back at 7 or 8 o'clock at night and expect to find a parking spot. They also offer all day parking to the general public and do not reserve enough parking spaces for those who are overnight guests. That's right! Your room is supposed to come with guaranteed parking but it doesn't. Now let's get to the rooms themselves. Basically clean, but watch out for those towels. One of ours was quite clearly used and hanging on the rack. I think if you use it and hang it back up on the rack, housekeeping assumes it is still clean. I almost puked once I realized I dried myself with a towel that someone else had used and had to reshower. The sheets were in rather ratty shape, too. They say they supply toiletries, what there version of toiletries means is hand soap and hand sanitizer, no shampoo, conditioner etc. which is fine by me because I always bring my own, but not everyone does. There is no access to Wifi and not even an ice machine onsite and it seems like a popular party place for young adults on the weekends. Overall, I'd give this place a 3 out of 10. I know we won't be staying there ever again. Overpriced and overall raunchy.

We unfortunately stayed at this motel September 18 2016. The first thing I noticed was the stale odour in the office. I thought to myself this is not a good sign. Sure enough the room was smelling. Carpets had several stains, chairs had holes in them, shower was unusable, and the worst issue was a sticky bathroom floor. Who nows what caused this. Yuck. Fortunately we are only 90 minutes from home so a clean shower was not far away. I spoke with several of my fellow getto dwellers and heard words like disgusting, dump, worst place I've stayed in. This place could be good basic accommodation with very little effort. Guys use some cleaning supplies and bring in a garbage dumpster and clean up the skids and clutter under the stairs and around the outside. There is a positive! You can walk to the falls and Tim Hortons is just next door. If you are desperate for a room. Sleep in your car!!!

This place sucks! Rooms filthy, run down. They gave us a room that reeked of smoke. We found a huge horse pill on the bedside table. Cigarette butts stuffed don the side of the bed. Obviously the room was not cleaned from last renter. They gAve us a different room. A bit better, but still crap. Bath tub was not working, light bulbs were blown, the place needs to be condemned

This place is a total dump. We got the queen room with whirlpool heart tub which I paid extra for. The tub did not work and the hot water handle was not even hooked on. There is no coffee maker or microwave and the tv was a worn out 19" model like most people have thrown away by now. No clock or phone in the room so on top of having no idea what time is was we couldn't even get a wake up call. The room smelled very bad when we arrived and there were lots of flies of some sort flying all around. The front desk didn't want to take my American Express that I used when I booked the room through Trivago and booking.com. Once I convinced the man that I didn't have anything else he did take it because he had no choice. Once we saw the room we set out to find someplace else close to the falls but everything was booked at that point so we had no other choice except to stay there or go back home to Ohio so we stayed two nights. This place is not good as well as being way over priced. It's a waste of money and pretty much ruined our whole trip. When I tried to complain all I got was "well that's all we have" and no offer at all for a partial refund. I am filing a dispute with my credit card because the tub did not work and I paid extra just to get it.

This is the first bad review I've written, so I'm not quite sure where to start. . I called in advance and left a message to see if we could get in a little early to change clothes as we would be arriving mid afternoon for a big event, after driving for 7 hours. There was never a response to my message. The motel charged for parking which was not part of the deal on reserving the room. The room was disgusting. The carpet, which was once orange, looked like it had been used as a coffee filter. The furniture was skeezy. The bathroom tiles were taped up with masking tape. There were cobwebs on the wall above the shower tiles. My husband refused to take a shower because the bathroom was so dirty. The heating unit in the bathroom was filthy, The air conditioning unit sounded like a small plane and didn't actually cool the room and burned itself out during the night. The towels in the bathroom were something my husband would use in the garage as rags. There was no phone. They advertised free wifi - totally useless - I could rarely get on and when it was partially successful, I timed out trying to get to my email, I was bounced off the net after a few seconds. It was so terrible I couldn't even read my email. The grounds of the motel were dirty. Just outside our door was a large coffee stain (I assume) on the concrete entrance. The "hot tub" was empty although the pool was operational (although in an awkward spot, right in the parking lot). I have travelled quite a lot and this is one of the worst motel's I have ever had the misfortune to patronize. Don't go if you care about value, cleanliness, customer service, etc. The location is it's only benefit. Close to the falls, although a significant walk downhill and then uphill - not suitable for anyone with limited mobility or limited fitness.
