We rode all day on our motorcycles through the rain and cold and we're freezing when we arrived. The room was perfect and we turned up the heat and took a nice hot shower, which was amazing. Thank you Rabbit ears!

The property is very clean and the beds/pillows are great. If you just need a place to sleep, Rabbit Ears is perfect!! Nothing fancy, but super clean and excellent maintenance, so while it is an old "motel" it doesn't give you that creepy vibe. The staff is also really friendly.

Rabbit Ears Motel is a Steamboat Springs Icon. We have been going to Steamboat for decades and decided to try out the motel. We were not disappointed. The room was nicely appointed and very clean; the staff was friendly and helpful. It was quite nice to be able to walk to downtown. All in all, a very nice experience.

We stayed at The Rabbit Ears Motel only for one night for a tennis tournament on a Friday night into Saturday morning. The experience was wonderful! The staff that checked us in was very friendly and helpful as we needed directions to the tennis courts in town. There was a continental breakfast the next morning that was nice to have available to save time to get to the tournament! The room was very clean and had a hair dryer and ironing board and iron, as well as shampoo, conditioner and body cream. Checking out was fast and seamless. I would recommend this motel as it was a great experience! I wish we would have had a few more nights there but the tournament was only one day and we had to get back to the grindstone!! Thanks for everything!!!
