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.
Gregg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, friendly staff, great breakfast, reasonable price and a local business! Will stay again!
Katherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Trina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Don't let this one get away!
The Retro Inn checked all the boxes and more! From cool theme rooms to being super pet friendly! Clean, comfortable and unique. Great contential breakfast with hot choices and delicious coffee. Book your stay you won't be sorry and you can say hi to Elvis 😀

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.
Linda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was very nice. We did have parking lot light coming into the room through the window as the black out curtains weren't wide enough. One more panel would have been nice.
