Unique Features
Turning off the bustling Highway 79 or Cameron Ave. into Rainbow Court's Motel is like stumbling upon your secret oasis. The immediate calm of the central courtyard, where, enchanted amid the lush greenery with the comfortable Adirondack chairs, you are likely to forget you have a hotel room or suite waiting for you. One of the many things that makes Historic Rainbow Courts unique from other lodging facilities is several areas of landscaped lawns, gardens and cottages as opposed to hardscaped parking lots with one continuous two story building. A unique hospitality experience is offered at the oldest motel in Texas and likely the southwest. Enjoy complimentary high-speed wireless internet and cable television.
