RUN. DO NOT BOOK. I would park my vehicle here but that's about it. My partner and I booked a room here, tried to stay here and couldn't. The room was filthy dirty from top to bottom. Glass surfaces dirty top and bottom, some type of red substance (likely blood) on the wall in the bathroom that I had to clean up, the tap in the sink was so loose it sprayed water all over the bathroom. There was a 1" gap under the door letting cold air in. The heat did not work. The bed linen was old and not the freshest. The hot water took at least 3 minutes to get luke warm. If you like throwing back to the 80's and being the remote control for the TV like you did as a kid, then you would love this room. But wait, there's more! The baseboards haven't been cleaned since 1987, the snap together vinyl floor was water damaged by the window, the couch was like you were surfing the biggest wave and the bed was the most uncomfortable thing you could ever lay your body on. The staff....Oh what a joy they were. The manager was extremely snarky, condescending and downright ignorant. He immediately got defensive and angry when I told him politely the problems we had with our stay. He asked questions like, "Have you ever stayed in a hotel before"? Yes, as a matter fact I have and this isn't one. The manager is so wound up in his delusions, thinking his beds and sheets are the same as the highest end hotels in the industry. This place should be condemned and bulldozed down

There was no warning of tye charge for parking at the motel so we were charged another 35.00 on top of the 220.00 for the 2 nights the motel was durty the tapa in the bathroomsink woukd flood the bathroom everytime you used ir . No toilet paper in the room we had to ask . When we left for the day we came back and had a hard time finding a parking spot . Its in our opinion they are just money greedy and don't care to support their customers at all. They did NOT clean our romm at all except empty the garbage can and an attempt to make our beds with the same sheets from the night before we will never go back there

Well. The owners tried to make us comfortable. Which is A Big Plus, in my opinion. The heat didnt work, the sink was plugged. The TV was sub par.(no streaming or bluetooth sharing.) Thetoilet had soil under the seat. All problems were fixed the next day, except the tv.

AVOID THIS MOTEL!!!!! We were in room 45, if you get that room, RUN!!!!! JUST AVOID THIS ENTIRE PLACE!! YOU WILL REGRET GOING HERE!!! Avoid this place so that you don’t spend your entire time in Niagara Falls hating yourself and regretting your trip. AVOID RAINBOW INN. it’s disgusting, dirty and loud. This is the type of place people go to so they can have sex with prostitues and do hard drugs. Management / owners could not care less to provide customers a decent stay. People were smoking in their rooms and the smell ended up entering our room. You hear people screaming in the parking lots at various different hours of the night EVERY night. No hot water, no heating and they only provide you with one role of toilet paper for your several night stay. There was blood on the bathroom walls. The bed was so god awful. They do not provide a comfortable and relaxing environment. I’m shocked and surprised there are not cockroaches and rats. Please do not go to this establishment because it doesn’t deserve to even exist.

There was fecal and blood stains in both beds in our room. The sink was clogged, there was hair everywhere and the tv had been burnt with a lighter. Would not recommend, not to mention the front desk area looks like a teenagers bedroom.

When I made the reservation online, it looked like a nice place for a reasonable rate. When I arrived, I discovered that it was not only dirty, but that on top of our hotel rate, my friend and I were each getting charged an additional charge for our cars to be there overnight. I went to the office on the morning I left to ask for change for American money to tip the housekeepers, and he shorted me on the conversion rate. The next time I come to that area, I will be choosing a slightly pricier Hotel, that I'm sure will be cheaper in the long run.

The rooms were old, out dated. Most of the tv channels didn't work, it was an antenna. The mattress cover had a blood stain on it. Mentioned it to the housekeeping and they don't do anything about it. The shower head a lot of calcium buildup, it was not very clean. They only left 1 roll of toilet paper. And it smelled really musty. We had to put our own air freshener in the AC.
