Grammie, Nana, PopPop (plus other affectionate nicknames for grandparents) grew up knowing motels and summer vacay were synonymous. After a day on the road in America’s 1950s, families would unbundle from the car and switch into swimsuits (and flowery swim caps). They’d pop into the motel pool to cool off. AC was not a given anywhere, home or on the road.

The Rainbow Motel was perfect for a one-night trip my wife and I planned to visit her old college town of Greeley (University of Northern Colorado)!

Rave reviews are what every motel seeks. But when they show up by the baker’s dozen within a 2 week period, you know it’s a great place to stay. That’s what happened at the Rainbow during the Greeley Stampede.

Planing a birthday, reunion, graduation party, Quinceañera and more? Make it happen on our GREEN, the epicenter of the Rainbow Motel in Greeley, CO.

The Rainbow Motel was named to the Top 10 Best Hotels in Greeley list.
