Although the drive was pleasant there. Once we got to our motel it was a different story. We felt like we walked into the set of the movie "Deliverance," with the only thing missing being the banjos, with what looked like outlaw bikers, a car-repair clinic in the parking lot, a pink blow up swimming pool, a dog tied to a post, a toddler running around &3 extremely large guys with big beards & stained tshirts in the parking lot. Clearly there were people living in the motel lodge while using the parking lot as their recreation area. The 'manager" (also in a greasy stained tshirt) confirmed this when asked by replying "Of course people live here, it's a lodge!" Inspite of all of this, we thought we should 'view' the room as a courtesy which had the appearance of an hourly-type room rental, and an odd chemical like odor. Not for us. We found another motel room, fortunately in spite of it being Memorial Weekend.

The rooms at the Rainbow Lodge are undergoing a significant upgrade. As we arrived, they were just re-hanging the door to our bathroom. Charles, the manager, does a great job of managing the work, and we were very comfortable with the accommodations. Our room was freshly painted, with new linen on the bed and blackout curtains on the windows. It also looked like we had a new microwave and minifridge. The location is close to eating areas, and a restaurant is next door. This place is a good choice if you are looking for affordable accommodation across the street from some great fishing.

The room was small and the floor was dirty.
