This is the oldest hotel in Texas and it is so well maintained. The people are friendly and helpful. The beds are so comfortable and the air purifier lulls me to sleep with the white noise. I loved staying here! They have a beautiful courtyard and friendly cats, too! I will definitely be back there soon!

This hotel is so quaint. It's extremely clean. The room was amazing. Had a little kitchenette and dining area to sit in. The bed was extremely comfortable. Two nice chairs to sit and watch TV. I would come back here again and again. The owners Dan and his wife were so kind. They put out homemade blueberry muffins in the morning that you could have with your complementary coffee. The whole experience was wonderful.

I really enjoyed my stay at this charming historic property. The attention to detail in the rooms, the comfortable beds and the well kept grounds were unsurpassed. The location is also convenient to areas I regularly work. In future, this will be my first choice of a place to stay when working in the area.

I wish I stayed longer!

What a beautiful little spot just a few minutes from Austin. I didn’t know of the historic weight this motel had until I got there, and what a pleasant surprise to see this little oasis. I wish I had stayed longer, but I only needed a place to spend the night and continue my trip. I will come back for sure and stay for a weekend.

Rainbow Courts was a fantastic place to stay while exploring the area. I loved the historic Carraige House with its rich colors and comfort amenities like the jacuzzi tub, full kitchen, and king-size bed. In the morning and evening sitting on the balcony patio you can hear the train going by and if you have a good imagination you can almost picture the town and hotel as they were over a hundred years ago. We will be back!

The room to was clean and quaint. It has a beautiful property and wish I had stayed longer to enjoy the Gardens and firepits. Was in town for Sunkissed Music Fesitval which was awesome if you missed it. Rainbow Courts was close to the venue and easy access in and out. Thank you.

This was my 4th stay at the Rainbow courts and the 3rd in the last two years. This is our come to place when we are in the Rockdale, Texas area, which is often. We like that it is not only very clean and fashionably furnished but reflects a taste of history when “motor hotels” began in the decade1918 and the growing use of automobiles.

Great quiet spot just off of downtown Rockdale. It’s an actual historic location with it being the Texas oldest active motel. Room was clean & nostalgic with a comfy feeling of staying at your favorite aunties/grannies house. Owners/managers are very friendly & try everything to help you have a great stay. Definitely will return if working in Rockdale again.

A delightful find

Finding a unique property with excellent reviews in the little town of Rockdale Texas was delightful! This retreat spot is over 100 years old. A comfortable room with king size bed, tv, microwave and frig and coffee maker was all we needed. However, coffee and apple cider and homemade muffins were served in the office. Before dinner at a recommended restaurant, we relaxed on the beautiful lawn in Adirondack chairs. Our only thought was how soon can we get back here for a longer stay!
