We had a wonderful one night stay at the Retro Inn! I highly recommend this motel when staying in the area. It will be our new go to stop along this route. If you’re looking for a place with cools vibes, old school feelings, and friendly staff then this is the place for you!! There’s a guest lounge with games available and the breakfast had quite a few different options. We both looooved the muffins!! Wish we would have grabbed two each! Thanks for a nice stay!

The name says it. It's a retro style building with a retro theme (albeit modern furnishings), but it's clean, friendly, affordable, and conveniently located.

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.

Retro in Cortez

Retro inn is a dated older format motel with cinder black walls, renovated into a clitchy movie star and pop culture themed rooms. The bed was comfortable, and the hot water was plentiful. I did not care for the rainfall shower head that could not be adjusted. Plus, the tub drained slowly, so I'm standing in 4 inches of soapy water when done. The breakfast was plenty of carbs, and appealing if you want carbs. No fresh fruit or protiens. In the busy season, this hotel is outside my travel budget. I used points earned to bring down the cost, so gave them a try. It's a very cool property featuring themed rooms, lawn chess, yard chairs for the cool evenings, and pet area. You can even sit with Elvis! A nice stop for families wanting a change of pace.
