We did not stay for the second night we had already paid for. We set up a tent and used sleeping bags to keep the mice and bugs off.

The guy at the front desk informed me that my reservation didn't work, so I would have to pay at the desk. When I checked my credit card statement I have two charges. One from Expedia and one from the Rainbow. After I checked in I was assigned a room and told there was no key for the room, because house keeping took it with them. There also was no shower head in the room to take a shower, but the worst part was yet to come. I laid in the bed for approximately 20 minutes and recieved over one hundred BED BUG bites. Worst motel/hotel experience ever. I went to another hotel in Hastings to clean myself of the bed bugs. I tried to talk to the hotel staff the next day, but they wouldn't answer the door bell and the office doors were locked at 10:45 a.m..

Stay Away!!!
Got there and had to wait about 45 mins. before the clerk got back from wherever she was. Gotted checked in and went to our room and it was a single. Got us another room but said they need to clean it first but not only that it was full of somebody elses stufg then 20 mins. go by and still haven't started cleaning. Asked for a refund and she said only the owner can do that and have not seen a refund to my card and it's been 5 days. DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!

Don't stay here
This one was an experience. It is very old, toilets don't flush well, beds are antiquated and the room smelled like it had just been fumigated for who knows what. Desk person was friendly enough, couldn't find the payment through hotels.com and then said that I was overcharged by hotels..... I wouldn't recommend this place unless one is absolutely desperate.

BED BUGS, DO NOT STAY HERE! We got eaten alive within minutes of laying in bed (both beds had them of course). The room looks nothing like the pictures on the website. The bathroom door was damaged from what looked like it being kicked in and couldn't be closed properly. The microwave was on the bathroom counter. Normal size fridge, but it wasn't very clean inside. Bedding didn't match and needed serious updating. No continental breakfast as promised on the website. All in all, a horrible night stay, would not recommend at all!

First of all they didn't receive hotel.com info. PAID CASH FOR ROOM. Put me a room only to move me to another room. Had to wait while they cleaned room. People were nice enough but did a terrible job of cleaning. Floor rug terrible dirty condition.Did vacuum but really need to replace rug.Mini refer,micro not clean. Had to ask for toilet paper. I don't know why this hotel was even listed on your site. I would be embarrass.Plus that cost me a rewards night.Part of this is my fault for picking this low rated motel.

BAD hotel
there was bed bugs and roaches. looked like someone punched holes in the wall, hot water one day out of 4. there was moldy coffee bags left in the coffee pot. I told them I bought bleach and I bleached everything except the bedding. I slept on top of the bed and still received NUMEROUS bites all over my body. I couldn't get a refund and I was not going to lose my money.

Should have kept driving....this place was bad. Booked online,but it still took 15 minutes to check in and I was charged a different amount than through hotels.com. Room was gross, carpets were stained and I'm not sure the linens or pillows had been updated in years. Bathroom sink, toilet, tub and floor were stained and the sink leaked.

Blood!?!?!
Well it was just an all together horrible experience. The towels were circa 1970 avocado green and were shredded around the edges. There was toilet paper that could have doubled as wax paper, and the parking lot smelled like a urinal. The next day was a real treat, while getting dressed I noticed dried blood on the comforter NEVER STAY HERE NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE DEAL SEEMS.

Sure beats paying $$$ for a great bed & large TV
The hotel is dated but the bed was so much nicer the the cost of the room. Room is clean and if you wish for the good old days it's great decor. Bargain price makes it so very worth the money. Breakfast limited pastries even included.

For a cheap motel it was ok. The room was clean and everything in working condition. I could not connect to WiFi but I really didn't need it. For around $40.00 I was satisfied. The manager was friendly.

Don't Stay Here
I had a confirmed two night reservation using Expedia. The Hotel manager was absent when we arrived. The maintenance man called the manager who informed us that the hotel was full and he had no rooms available. I called Expedia to get a refund and spent 45 minutes on the phone with two different people. The had to call the hotel manager and confirm that no room was available; because, the didn't believe me. I went to the Super 8 motel 7 miles away and they had a room. It was a much nicer place to stay and included breakfast. I still need to check my credit car for a refund on this charge.

last minute overnighter.
Just an overnighter on the way to another city. Very low budget expectations but actually not too bad. Breakfast was included, front desk clerk was very nice and friendly, black silk sheets on the bed was a little weird. Door lock was sketchy.
