My family and I planned this trip to the Dells with this motel in mind. We were not dissapointed! If you want to travel back in time when there were clean, quaint, and memorable places to bed down then this is the place. The staff is always helpful and will go the extra mile for their guests. We stayed in the "Cottage" which sleeps six very comfortably. All the ammenities are top notch, full kitchen with breakfast table a very large livingroom a full bathroom with modern fixtures and a large bedroom with two full size beds. We were visiting the Dells during the heat wave of July 2011 the cottage was airconditioned and was a "cool oasis" during those hot days. The staff was so accomodating that when we checked in there was a problem with a futon in the livingroom we called the desk and within an hour they had replaced the futon completely!
The pool was also a place we enjoyed very much. The kids had a ball on the slide and the adults enjoyed the quiet tranquil surroundings of the neighborhood. The pool was very clean and well taken care of. The icing on the cake is when it gets dark at night, The "neon" comes on! The buildings still have their neon from the 60's and they work! It looked like a scene out of "Radiator Springs" cozy cone! For those of you that want the noise and excitment of the commercial resorts I feel sad, I would suggest try to slow down and relax and experience a little bit of the past as these little "gold nuggets" are vanishing at a breakneck pace. I am so happy that my children have had the opportunity to experience what my parents and I did as I grew up.
So if you are a nastolgic person or wish to experience what a "motel" was like in it's heyday. I highly recommend the Rainbow Motel.

Took a family vacation with 5 children and 2 adults, so we were looking for affordability without sacrificing quality. Rainbow was awesome! We had two rooms, adjacent to each other, (but no interior connecting door.) Rooms are average, a bit dated, but clean, comfortable and with a fridge and microwave. Great family pool, swing/play set for the kids, and they rent BBQ grills if you want to grill (which we did.) Best part of the stay was free unlimited park passes to Chula Vista Waterpark for everyone in our family! That alone saved us over $250!! It's within walking distance to the "strip" and a five minute drive to the waterpark. Absolutely would stay again :)

We've stayed at this motel for several years in a row now. The rooms have always been clean and comfortable. The family that runs the place is very accomodating. The pool is heated and best of all, virtually empty. The location couldn't be better. It's in a quiet, residential part of town, and has no hallways, so you don't have to put up with much noise. It's also within walking distance of downtown and the park. Last year was the first disappointment. We stayed in a two-bedroom room instead of a single room, and our AC was leaking onto the floor, and the shower was boiling hot unless mgmt adjusted the water temp from the office. Overall though, it's a nice little motel and the price couldn't be better.

We love the location, the owners and the price.The rooms were clean, had tubs that worked and the beds were comfortable. We also like the fact that they provide grills and a tie-in with a water park (Chula Vista). We plan to return.
