The pictures don’t tell the whole story. Many of the units have one small window and the one we had was partially blocked. And the room was so small we could barely walk around the bed. I would not return to this property.

Comfortable, Functional, Fun

This spot just gave me everything I needed. I wanted a place that would be comfortable enough to recharge as necessary, with a location that could set me up well for bouncing back and forth between Manitou Springs and Downtown Colorado Springs. The Rainbow Lodge delivered the comfort I was looking for, with their furniture and bedding, and topped it off with daily cleaning services as well. I hadn't even realized until I got there that this inn was located right across the way from a bus stop, but this ended up being really beneficial for me getting around (though its location also set me up well to walk to both Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City as well). And as the cherry on top, this place was able to deliver on all of my desires while providing that classic motel aesthetic. The value that I got was quite immense for a rather small pricetag, and I would certainly strongly consider staying here again if I'm ever back in town.

You get what you pay for!

Lower price hotel. Owners of the property were very nice. Our room,1 king bed. The bathroom needed “Major” updating. Very small, no Counter space, door wouldn’t close. Bathtub fixtures loose, tub itself was chipped and starting to rust. Toilet paper holder mounted behind toilet hard to reach. Dirty/laminate floor and rug. Pictures on website of room were Misleading. Noisy rooms, paper thin walls, needed to run a/c unit to drowned out the noise. Location was good for the area.

Amazing place to stay

Our stay was amazing. The room was exceptionally clean. Parking was right at the door. The whole lodge was very "dog" friendly, and we had no problems traveling with our large dog.

While this is no 5 star resort, it is well worth the money. Location was great. Only a few miles from downtown Manitou Springs and roughly a mile from Garden of the Gods this hotel was a great jumping off point. The room was a bit dated with pink tile in the bathroom and a bathroom sink that didn’t work so good, I really liked the room over all. It almost had an L shape to it where the 2 queen beds weren’t side by side like they are in traditional hotel rooms but each had its own “space”. The shower had some of the best water pressure I have ever had in a hotel, which I really appreciated. Room was clean, and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice place, but strong odor

Just an overnight stay and overall was fine. Bed was comfortable, shower was clean, but the smell was very strong. I think it was a mix of bleach and something else...not quite sure, but potent. Woke up in the middle of the night and it was still there.

The motel was soooo cute around the office so I was very excited but then when I drove to my room the area looked like the getto- sooo disappointed ☹️. The exterior paint was pealing and the beach outside my room was broken. However I give the room an 8.
