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!!!

Stayed 5 nights here with our two corgis. Room was very clean with all the amenities you would like (microwave, mini-fridge, lots of drawer space, ironing board, etc). The decor is basic but functional and I found the bed very comfortable. Our room had a small deck with a view overlooking the river, which was a pleasant surprise. The office staff was helpful and accommodating when we asked to extend a night. Location is perfect. Within easy walking of groceries, the hot springs, shopping, and dining. Great place to stay with pets as it is next to a park with lots of space to walk your pets. Will definitely make it a priority to stay here again.

Very affordable and clean motel.

This is a great motel to stay at. The room we had was spacious and very clean. The location of the motel is another plus. It's right across the street from the Old Town Hot Springs (which they have discounted rates) and right next to 3rd Street in case you are going to Strawberry Hot Springs. Besides easy access to the Hot Springs, it is in downtown Steamboat Springs, so everything is within walking distance. As I mentioned, the room and bathroom were clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The buildings and grounds are well maintained. We will definitely be staying there again next year when we visit Strawberry Hot Springs.

Pleasant

The front desk people were very friendly and helpful with a lot of information. They offered discount passes for the hot springs directly across the street which was greatly appreciated. The privately owned motel - albeit older - was clean and comfortable. Actually very quiet and so very convenient for walking to shopping and restaurants. Only negative comment to be made was the very minimal breakfast options the motel offers their guests. Perhaps a muffin or even better cold cereal choices. Coffee was good tho. Would definitely stay again.

This is a traditional old school motel. That said, what isn’t traditional is it is immaculately clean, and smells fresh. I love to park right out my door. Easy for luggage, very convenient. The service at the desk is prompt, kind. and helpful.
