You Get What You Pay For

The facility in general can do with some renovation. Motel 6 is a cleaner better run motel. They promise breakfast but it is more of coffee and donuts. Internet service was always slow to a crawl. Room was quite clean - looked like the better cover had been used before. There was water shutoff while there due to a fire hydrant knock down on the street (I think). There was no water from the night when it happened to mid-afternoon. They never bothered to advise of the problem and when water can be expected back. I left the place 2 nights before my original plan and moved to La Quinta.

One night in Bozeman

We stayed one night here to explore Bozeman, with a specific interest in hanging out downtown. The motel was reasonably priced and about a mile from downtown. The room was a little dated but nicely appointed with a fridge and microwave. The bed wasn't terribly comfortable (moved too much when you roll over etc), but the room was very clean. We would recommend or stay here again

Old Motel - money out nothing into it.

Bear bones. No Kleenex, hair drier, shampoo, hand lotion. Couldn't get on the internet. When we tried to call the office the phone was dead. We had to change our initial reservation to a different date so we stayed there knowing it wasn't going to be great. The women at the desk was the owner and wasn't real pleasant.

The night clerk kept open for us until we got there from Yellowstone which impressed us and recommended a breakfast place the next day. They had no breakfast at the hotel. It was a welcome hotel to come to after traveling late at night and they had our reservation.

Good for one night stay while on the road.

I stayed Thursday night, August 4, 2016. I made the reservation at the Rainbow Inn on August 2, 2016. When I arrived from Colorado Springs, the hotel was completely full. They had my reservation through Expedia and gave me one of their most quiet rooms (#169), on the outer northeast corner of the building on the second floor. There are only 2 second floor rooms in the motel. The Rainbow Inn has been sold and the new owners plan on tearing it down on September 1, 2016.

Learn to use your phone

I thought this place was great. Better prices than everyone else and a better room provided by an owner who cares about the quality and condition of the place. Oh and by the way, I was in the room farthest from the office and the WiFi worked just fine in my room. I think the people complaining about it just shouldn't own smartphones they don't know how to use.
