Amazing Inn

I love how quiet this place is. The common area between the rooms looks like a quaint neighborhood. The room reminded me of favorite hotels I stayed in as a kid. Easy to find right by the main road, with lots of amenities and things to do, this place is an excellent value. Do not pass this up!

Great place

We were heading to Durango and wanted to shorten our drive. Cortez has a great brewery and a great Mexican restaurant we love. First time we stayed at Retro and it was great. Very clean and staff was friendly.

Merlyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value

Road trip to visit several national parks in the Southwest and stayed one night at the Retro Inn. This was as good or better than the other hotels we stayed in, for one-third the price. Staff was friendly, service was awesome, the room was very clean and comfortable, and while we did not use the game room or BBQ's, they looked very family-friendly. This property is not fancy, is a little quirky, but definitely fun. We would definitely stay here again if ever in the neighborhood.

We enjoyed our short time at the Retro Inn. We have a picture with Elvis for our memories and had a quiet, restful night. Breakfast was a good mix of items, fueling us for a Mesa Verde NP tour.
