The room is simple, but has everything I want in a room. Comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, and enough room if you need to bring anything inside. It could use a bigger TV

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Place was great for the price! They had a huge TV, which was fun because we had just been tent camping. Nice amenities, including coffee in the room. Bed was comfortable, and enormous if you like that. It seemed large even for a king. Maybe it was because of that little tent the night before!

Room was fine, bed was comfortable, about average for an older motel. A clock on the nightstand would be nice (I set the clock on the microwave). Vinyl floor needed to be wet mopped; when I got a shower, my footprints in the tub left dirt from the floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rainbow Lodge is a great and convenient location for day-trips / back-country touring in Southfork area. Rooms are large, nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. The only reason I rated this Lodge as a 4 is because the rooms have no A/C....owner says it is because it is not needed.....temps dip to mid 50's overnight. The problem is the rooms heat up during the day and it was difficult to rest in a warm room while waiting for the cool down to occur. The windows had no screens, so I was not comfortable leaving windows open to assist with cool-down. The owner was very nice to provide a fan for us....which helped tremendously.

There are no staff at this location but self check in wasn’t a problem. The rooms smelled like stale cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. I reserved for a family of 5 and there weren’t enough bath towels. Would I stay here again - no.

My wife’s car broke down on the way out and when I tried to cancel I was told no refunds within 24 hours. I understand policy but it feels like adding insult to injury. Now I have to pay for another hotel near the car while we wait for roadside assistance towing to come.
