The place was surprisingly good for a motel. I usually never do a motel but the reviews and the retro theme sucked me in. Bwd was comfortable and shower was great. Breakfast was the standard boring breakfast and nothing to write home about. I would stay there again if i go to Cortez again

Funky little motel with thoughtfully quirky design touches. Great outdoor hangout space. A little worn out but clean and welcoming.

It's very cute!

Fantastic, adorable, great communication from the front desk, easy in and out. We only stayed for the night but the price was decent for one night. I love the circle of bench swings. I want one of those at my house for summer nights!!! Very cute place!

It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.

Bed was comfortable and climate control worked well. Room was clean and the rain shower head was very nice. Weatherstripping on door needed repair. Breakfast consisted of cereal, bagels, muffins, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and breakfast burritos.

This was such a cute place. Granted, things were outdated, but that's the whole idea of it. Our room number was 1980, and the pictures on the walls were kids playing PacMan and Nintendo. We had the "game room." Bed was comfy. Shower was good. Lots and lots of towels of good quality. All in all, we were impressed with our stay.

Second time staying at the Retro Inn. We’ll be back if we ever stay in Cortez, CO. Convenient distance from Mesa Verde. Cool vibe. Nice breakfast. Quiet and peaceful.

10/10 Exceptional

We recently spent a night at The Retro Inn in Cortez, CO, and it was a wonderful experience! We stayed in room 1984, which had a fun Miami Vice theme and two very comfortable queen beds. The room was massive—much bigger than we expected—and the bathroom was large and super clean, making our stay extra relaxing. The biggest surprise was the hidden pocket door in the room. When we slid it open, we couldn’t believe it: a full-size eat-in kitchen! It had everything you could possibly need—dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and even a dining area. At first, we thought we had accidentally wandered into someone else’s space! I went to the front desk to ask, and the friendly staff assured us it was all part of our room. It was such an amazing bonus! It truly felt like we were staying in a charming, retro home, and the whole experience had a cozy, lived-in vibe that we absolutely loved. It was such a great deal for what we got, and we only wished we had more time to enjoy it all, but we had other plans in the area. The staff we met were so friendly and helpful, and the grounds of the inn were adorable—full of retro charm and fun little touches. We left feeling like we’d discovered a hidden gem and can’t wait to go back. We’re already planning a return trip so we can stay even longer and really soak in everything The Retro Inn has to offer. If you’re in Cortez, I highly recommend staying here—it’s a unique, comfortable, and super cool spot!

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!
