At one point, Rainbow Motel.may have been down, but the new owners are worki g to turn the experience around. What you get: a clean room with TV and a comfortable bed and shower. But, youre also RIGHT across from arguably one of the BEST bakeries in the country (Weber's Bakery -fresh morning sonuts and pastries), around the corner from Chicago's most popular beef sandwich (Portillo's), within a 2 minute walk of several other restaurants as well as an Aldi, Walgreens and Ace Hardware. BUT... the big perk is a stop on the Archer line out front 50' away. (also a late night bus if you do a late Chocago night) and 1.5 mins walk from the OHare (330) bus. These things made it an ideal cheap stay in a clean room for someone who flew in and out with no car for a music festival. It was SUPER easy to get around and time transit. And dont overlook that late night bus perk. That said, if this is a family vacation, do your homework, but it was an easy yes for a single or couple of adults travelling on a budget.

This property is just old and needs some repairs. Some effort has been put forward in this regard, but more would be nicer. There are wall defects and paint on the bathroom tiles.

Room was disgusting. There were cigarette burns on the bed and mold all over. I left 20 minutes after checking in to stay somewhere else and would like a refund.

Our room was so dirty, there were dead bugs on the walls. The drains in the bathroom did not drain, the table we had was sticky, there was old coffee grounds in the coffee maker, and we found underwear in one of the bathroom drawers. We didn’t even sleep under the covers because it felt so gross but the bed was hard and so they gave us was a couple sheets. The walls were dirty the door frames and the floor and stains all over them. There was dirt collecting on every inch of every baseboard. Terrible stay. Only did it for a music festival

Dirty and disgusting.

Came for concert at United Center. Saw priced at 177 night total 200 or so. Saw reviews stated cleanliness was 7.2 or higher on reviews. They lied. The bed sheets were inside out and dirty in underside. Pop splashed on wall next to the bed. Bathroom door didn’t latch, lock or shut tight; hairs and private hairs on bath towels. Bathroom sink and toilet hadn’t been cleaned. Everything was filthy. Seems they did vacuum maybe. The prices on the wall in motel office showers lower by a decent amount from what I paid hotels.com. Complained to hotels; complained to motel; no fixes.
