“Well worth the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

people found this review helpful

When all the other hotels in the area were charging 75.00 and up for a double queen room, the Rainbow Motel was an affordable 55.00 per night. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet as I never heard noise from inside our room. I always have stayed at the large chain hotels so I was pleasantly surprised at the condition and comfort of this little motel. I would highly recommend this motel if you don't need fancy amenities.

“Loved our stay.”

As I write this review the Rainbow Motel is ranked 26th out of 35 hotels in Bend--if true, Bend must be the hotel capital of the world. If you're looking for basic accommodations that are clean, cheap, with free wifi and good cable then this is your place. We paid $49 walk-up rate for a king-sized bed,

“Clean rooms at a cheap price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2008
2
people found this review helpful

When visiting Bend, I have been staying at the Rainbow Motel for well over eight years. The rooms (in the back, non-smoking building) are clean and have a fridge and microwave. The room rate has not gone up much (if at all) since I've been going ($40-$45, depending on number of people/beds). The continental breakfast is nothing to write home about (bad coffee and wrapped danishes) but there are plenty of coffee shops and cafes in town. If you're looking for a place with more amenities, this is NOT the place for you! But if you're just looking for a clean, cheap place to sleep, after spending your days outdoors, I would highly recommend the Rainbow Motel.

“Clean, Simple Motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2007

This is a clean, comfortable motel within walking distance of downtown Bend. They have a new building at the back of the property that has hotel-style rooms. Overall, it's a fine place to stay if you're using Bend as a stopover or as a base for excursions into the surrounding mountains.

“Good budget hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2007
4
people found this review helpful

If you want a clean, basic hotel room that is close to downtown this is a a good bet. If you are on a tight budget this is an even better bet.

The cost for the room was $40. Nothing fancy - just the basics - but the place is clean and well kept. There is high speed internet on site. You can also find coffee and a complimentary convenience store brand pastry (in the wrapper no less) in the lobby to get you going in the mornign.

The Rainbow is a short 1/3 mile walk or bike ride from the downtown core.
