Staff was lovely. We checked in and went to the room, it reaked of bleach. My wife is chemically sensitive. We couldn’t possibly stay there. No refund offered. Bummer. We stayed at the Hampton Inn across the street. :-(

Room was good. Linens clean. Bathroom clean. Deep cleaning needs help. Was not happy with w staff smoking right outside front door as we entered to eat breakfast. Not so sure about overall safety of key to enter room.rooms back off road isolated.

The Retro Inn is exactly that. The doors are painted bright neon colors. Our room was purple with pictures of 70's TV shows on the wall and a rotary phone between the beds. The windows actually slide open and there's 60's style chairs to relax in outside your door. Fun touches all around including a working phone booth!

Great location!!!!

ADORABLE! Great location! Friendly staff. Nice property with places to hang and relax, loved it. Only thing I could change would be to get rid of the PAY TO PLAY pool and fusball. We enjoyed the TV and games. Though you can't play Yahtzee without dice (please check the games for completeness). Breakfast was great, exactly what we needed. Location is fantastic. Everything was close by, good restaurants, grocery, Farmer's Market, national parks. WILL BE BACK!

What a great little spot. Fun themed rooms, very friendly staff (one even helped me check my oil in my car), and pretty nice continental breakfast. Very comfortable. I would revisit if in the area again.

Retro Inn promoted it's vintage vibe, and did not disappoint. What we weren't expecting was the size of the unit we were assigned -- more of a condo than a motel room, including a full kitchen, with access to a great back yard patio, BBQ area, and fire pit surrounded by porch swings. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Travelled with guests and we rented three rooms. All different. All comfortable and very spacious. Would definitely recommend this spot as the ladies loved it. They especially enjoyed their photo session with Elvis on the front lawn.

Not great

Cute motel. They put some thought into making the rooms with character, but overall it’s just not a nice place to stay. It’s an old motel and it didn’t smell very nice. It was clean enough, but they must use a very cheap cleaning product that made the room smell not very nice and I kept smelling it after we left :(
