Rainbow Lodge & RV Park

TL;DR: Rainbow Lodge offers a convenient digital check-in and a large room, but cleanliness and maintenance issues make it a disappointing stay. Rainbow Lodge is a budget motel conveniently located on US 160 with the benefit of digital check-in, which was great for arriving late without needing to interact with staff. The room was large but sparsely furnished. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by several issues. The bed and pillows were just okay, but when I struggled to get comfortable, I discovered the sheets were not clean, with visible dirt and hair from a previous stay. The mattress had no cover, and the thin blanket provided was inadequate, with no additional bedding in the room. This left me sleeping fully clothed and poorly at that. Other maintenance issues included a broken toilet paper holder, no tissues, dresser drawers without knobs, and a dirty climate unit missing vents, which blew air directly onto the bed all night. While the location and digital check-in were convenient, the lack of cleanliness and poor upkeep overshadowed those positives. I wouldn’t recommend it unless significant improvements are made.

Electricity kept disconnected, not sure why. We weren't using much of the electricity. The room was very spacious and organized but didn't seem very clean. It had a strong smell of pets. It also self-service room entry. So you have to check your emails and messages and follow instructions. They're gonna send you instructions to enter the room. They assist you through phones if you have problems with the room.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in cabin 12. It was much larger than expected and could have slept 6 on beds and possibly another two in the foldout couch!! The office staff was super accommodating and the location was perfect for our first visit to Creede. We will likely stay here again and bring the kids!!

South fork is beautiful. The Rainbow Lodge is very decent for the price. Clean. Comfortable beds. Shall return.

My husband and I recently stayed at Rainbow Lodge for a night, and our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the room was incredibly spacious, providing ample room for us and our large dog to move around. Additionally, the affordability of the lodge was a definite plus. However, there were several notable downsides. The room's decor felt severely outdated, which clashed with the contemporary touch of the LED mirror in the bathroom. We were surprised to find there was no hand soap provided, which we consider to be a basic necessity. One of the most disappointing aspects was the size of the beds. They appeared to be full-size, making it a tight fit even for a slim couple. The water temperature was inconsistent, allowing for only one hot shower at night. In the morning, we were left with cold showers due to the water not heating up. Cleanliness was also a concern. The coffee pot, towels, and other essentials were not up to standard, prompting us to use our own supplies. The deadbolt on our door was non-functional, which raised security concerns. Moreover, the thin walls made it difficult to escape the noise of neighboring conversations, disrupting our sleep. Rainbow Lodge offers a spacious room and an attractive price point, but falls short in several crucial areas. With improvements in decor, maintenance, and amenities, this lodge has the potential to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable stay for guests.
