We really enjoyed our time here. What a great place to stay. A life sized chess board, game room and very affordable laundry facilities made it worth every penny! If we make it out this way again, this will be our first choice!

This place is is way cool. Very low key and local. If you are traveling with pets it is optimal for the price point. Staff excellent! Typical continental breakfast. Older, but CLEAN. Simply ask for a theme. We were in Marilyn Monroe room. Quirky and fun.

The Retro Inn was a fun experience! We stayed in the Woodstock room with the waterbeds. While not all that comfortable for the adults (I don’t know why those things were ever popular), the kids LOVED the experience. The themed room was fun and authentic with lava lamps and black light la and glowing art. The room was very clean and spacious. If you are ever driving through Cortez, I would definitely recommend The Retro Inn. Also, eat at nearby La Casita de Cortez.
