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.

"What a HOOT, my wife exclaimed"
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.

Clean, friendly, perfect spot
This was a great overnight place for our family to stay. It was very clean and our room was larger than most comparable hotel rooms. Breakfast was better than the hotel we stayed at the night before, so that was nice. It is a motel, but it was quiet for us and we had no problem sleeping. We would stay there again.

Classic comfort
This motel is simply fun. Retro style of a historic motel with all the modern comforts. Rooms are spacious and clean. Free continental breakfast with choices for most diets. Popular with families so not a quiet get away, but an excellent value for the convenience of location.

Stay here!
I am a Marriott loyalist and was hesitant to stay here. It was super clean, had a nice sized TV (with Direct TV) and the continental breakfast was wonderful. Check in was super easy and staff was friendly. Stay here!!!

Retro-modern for fun, convenience, and comfort.
Step back to a 1960s motor court that is clean, comfortable, upgraded and fun.

Great little inn
We loved our stay. The property is just as described. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good. We visited Mesa Verde National Park and Arches National Park while staying at the Retro Inn. Staff gave us good suggestions. Visit the CO Welcome Center if you can. Full of good suggestions and maps.

Great little gem!
AMAZING! I loved our stay here so much that I’m already planning a trip back to MVNP just so we can stay here again. Incredible value for the price and so much fun! Our kids loved seeing the rooms with the waterbeds and trying out the phone booth. Our room was comfy and spacious. The only con is that the walls were very thin, but as long as your neighbor is respectful, it shouldn’t be an issue. 20/10 would stay again.
