Rabbit Ears Motel

Fine hotel, clean, great location but PLEASE do away with the styrofoam!!! You will save in the long run if you use real dishes and wash them and it gives a more upscale feel to your hotel. Styrofoam is the worst!!!

I travel a lot for work and have stayed in all types of hotels /​motels.
Clean, comfortable rooms
New updated bathrooms
Comfortable beds with clean linens
Amazing location to be downtown and walk the town. (Bus stop out front to go to mountain)
Continental breakfast –I would like some healthier options for breakfast; but it’s not a deal breaker for me.
Charm! Steamboat is a great town, this local establishment has been here for a long time for a reason.
I skip receiving my frequent stay points at the other places in town for a reason.
Rabbit ears is simply the only option for me.

Heres the rundown…
Front desk people are ok
Continental breakfast is a joke
They should just Have coffee
Rooms are decent and they have new looking bathrooms which is nice
Location is amazing
Views and walk to town

This hotel is great! The staff is super friendly, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfy. It’s in a great location on the edge of downtown Steamboat. I loved it here and I will definitely be back!

The sign is adorable, the Motel is not. Very outdated beds, appliances, bathroom, décor. It has been ages since anything at this motel has been replaced or freshened up. Both my husband and I were surprised at how dark, dingy and a bit smelly our room was given the price. Yes, it is near everything, walking distance to downtown– but that is the only redeeming thing about this place. Even the free continental breakfast was lacking and included a drink mix for Orange juice, very old and not very clean looking cereal dispensers, no real fruit, and not replenished once while we had our coffee there (two woman sat at the front desk gossiping, completely ignoring guests when we walked passed). Really wished we had booked somewhere else, very disappointed.

We stayed here over the presidents weekend and the room was priced fairly comparing to everything else in town. The room was small but renovated. The breakfast was good, and the shower was nice and hot. There is no hot tub onsite, although they sell discounted pass to the hot springs across the street.

I was super skeptical of staying here with the price offered but my experience couldn’t have been better. Lovely, helpful and friendly staff, clean and well kept rooms, awesome location (free ski bus stop literally out the front) and good laundry facilities. I’ll be back.

I think if you go for a regular room, the value for price ends up being better. Since it was my birthday weekend I went for the upgraded room with a balcony and river view. So not worth an extra $ 70/​night. The balcony railing was so high you couldn’t see over it if you sat in the chairs (which is really the whole reason for having a balcony — hanging out, relaxing, enjoying the view perhaps with some wine) and the view of the river was minimal through the weeds & trees. That said, our room was fine. The beds were comfortable and the room was mostly clean (exception was one pillow on my bed that I promptly removed). The location is great. It was so nice to be able to walk to everything in town. And, the sign is classic for taking drunk selfies. For the convenience I’d consider staying again, but would go for a regular room, off-​season, for around $ 99/​night. Definitely don’t come here thinking it will be a similar star level to some of the resort hotels on the ski hill. It’s still a motel at heart, but a decent option for staying in town.

We loved Rabbit Ears! The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The discounted hot springs passes were great and being able to walk across the street to the pools was even better.
The location is very convenient; we were within walking distance of downtown Steamboat and we appreciated avoiding the stress of parking.

The location is okay, but the room was cramped and right on a road that invited a lot of truck noise… Not cheap enough!

this pet — friendly motel on steamboat’s main drag is clean, comfortable and quiet with helpful and friendly staff. the Yampa river and trails/​parks run right behind the property. and, heck, they have a retro neon rabbit sign!
it’s a little old — school, so don’t expect luxury, but the room furnishings are modern and user-​friendly. many rooms overlook the river and the sound of the water drowns out the very minimal road noise. there is a fridge and a microwave in each room for late night warm up of your leftovers from dinner.
being here with the fur kid was great — they thoughtfully accommodated our need to be on ground level (turns out that Stella didn’t care for the grated snow stairs) with easy access to the open space behind the motel.
lastly, you are within walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Lincoln (the main street) and surrounding areas. there is a natural grocery store across the street, as well as the recreation center which houses hot spring pools. (note — the strawberry park hot springs about 15 minutes away via a partially steep 4-​wheel drive road are rustic, natural and well worth the trip)

For me, the most important item I look forward in a hotel while vacationing is location… and Rabbit Ears Motel has a fabulous location in downtown Steamboat Springs. With the ability to walk anywhere other than the ski mountain itself including the bus stop, there’s no need to have a car if you’re visiting Steamboat and staying here.
We stayed for my birthday on New Year’s Eve and despite all the chaos that comes with this day, the front desk staff was very helpful and knowledgeable when we needed them under stressful circumstances. As expected, Rabbit Ears Motel is far from a 5-​Star hotel but for the price and what it offers, I will certainly stay here for my next visit to Steamboat Springs again!

Love the location and service! I continue to stay in support of them. Looking forward to many more welcome, friendly visits! Thanks Rabbit Ears! :)

Thought I was doing them a favor by booking directly but they charged almost $ 100 more over our stay. Stick with booking on Expedia. Otherwise the room was small but well kept. No hot tub or anywhere to hang out outside the tiny room.

Ah yeahhhhh, if you wanna get busy then hit up the rabbit. Rooms are clean, big hot shower, ac that will freeze your nose, and the free breakfast ain’t bad if your into that kind of food. Me I need a little more, but it’ll do in a pinch.
Now if you need to score some dope or wanna haggle with weekly rates, go down the block to the aspen or some crap like that. If anyone touches my ride, it’s on so I steer clear of them no havin fools.
The rabbit is well priced, in town, and the lady at the desk was chill.

After 20 years of driving by, finally stayed here. Room was big, clean, right on the river and only $ 100. Call the hotel or just walk in, rates were cheaper than booking on the Internet. Location can’t be beat. Front desk help was brutally efficient. Loved it, will stay again.

Great location in downtown Steamboat! Hotel staff is friendly and helpful, rooms simple but clean and well kept. Can’t beat this place for the spend!

So this year me and my buddy decided on Steamboat for our ski trip. The Rabbit Ears is a staple of the town, so we decided our 5 days of ski bumming would be spent here. This place is awesome. The staff is great (and hilarious) and our rooms were clean from beginning to end. The continental breakfast was exactly what we needed before heading up to the slopes. We will definitely be back. The ONLY downside was the heater located directly below my headboard was blazing heat, and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. If this is user error (likely), disregard, and get your ass to Rabbit Ears!
–Breakfast
–Free in room Wi-​Fi
–RIGHT beside bus stop for free shuttle to mountain/​around town (THIS IS HUGE IN STEAMBOAT)

This was a great place and located in a perfect spot. When we arrived the staff was very friendly and our room was ready to go. The room was very clean, and they attended to it daily and we always came back to a fresh room after skiing. The shower was always hot even after 3 people taking showers before me. We had a room on the side of the train, but we hardly even noticed it going by. We did have a great view of the river running by, which was nice.
The breakfast had enough variety, and it was a great way to start the morning. Again, regardless of time of day, the staff was always pleasant. It snowed quite a bit while we were there, and the parking lot was always plowed in a timely fashion.
This place is in a great location, too. Not even a half of a block from the bus stop, and basically downtown. We could walk anywhere (except the mountain). It’s right across the street from the hot springs, and the motel offers discounted tickets to get in.
We were sad to leave, but we’ll be back! Also, they provide you with a wealth of information regarding activities, etc in Steamboat.

The demonic yet friendly sign out front leads you to what is perhaps the only affordable and dog friendly hotel in town.
