Motel is not luxury, but if you want inexpensive, great location and friendly staff, this is a great place!

While the motel is old, and shows signs of age, it was clean (there were stains on the carpet, but when you are that old...), was in a safe feeling area, with 2 restaurants right across the street. Check in was quick and painless, with a nice clerk. Acess to ice macinr is limited, as it depends on when office is open, but if you are not in a hurry, it is great! Will be staying there again!!

Our stay at the Rainbow
Old motel with lots of character. Staff was friendly and helpful.
We were just in town for an overnight on our way towards Yellowstone National Park. The room was clean and the heater was really cool. Vertical standing in corner of room with glass window so we could see the flames. Kind of like a mini fireplace that I didn't have to do anything to.

We could not check in due to a double booking. The staff was great! she was very helpful and us find a place to stay.
The lady at the front desk was awesome!! Very friendly and informative. There are also some guests that stay there long term and they were also very friendly and provided good conversation. Its an old building but in pretty good condition. The beds were comfy and the shower was nice. We went there expected a fairly run down place so we wouldn't have to pay $200 for a quick nights sleep and were pleasantly suprised to find it was a comfy clean place with friendly faces.
Great older hotel. Everyone is nice here. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It is old so some of the things in the room didn’t work as well as new things would but that wasn’t a big issue for me. It was also nice and quiet except for the occasional semi that drive by. I slept well. I will stay here again, if I need a place in Thermopolis.
The staff at the Rainbow Motel are wonderful , helpful, and kind! This is what draws us back.

The staff is so extremely friendly, it is very reasonable as far as price. Extremely clean. It is like a older western style motel, but it definitely beats the other one down the street is way more clean and way more comfortable.

Wonderful check-in! The clerk was very nice and gave me a list of things I could do, such as food places and museums, including recommendations. This is my second stay here. I would return.
This a cute little 1940's motel that the owner has maintained very well. Does it show its age? Yes, but thats also what makes it unique. The rooms are clean and Gina (office) is very helpful.
Wonderful location near the HotSprings, lovely park to walk your pets. The neon lights kept me from sleeping soundly. Needs some updating but has tons of potential.

It was an older motel, we like to park in front of our room door. It’s easier when you have to walk your dog. Real close to hot springs national park and the bath houses and dog park. We were there one night, but the room was very clean and comfortable. Would stay there again.
Cute little hotel. Second time ive stayed here and it was a great stay. It is outdated but its very comfortable and really close to most attractions. We didnt have to drive to anything since it was all within walking distance. Will definitely stay again.
