There has been a lot of thought and money put into restoring this 1950’s motel. The room was perfect and period correct. Super fast wifi and direct tv. We walked across the street for dinner then slept like babies. The walls are block. We didn’t hear the street noise.

This motel is throwback to the 50's. Chairs outside of every room, a game room and a couple of Elvis statues. Rooms were large and bed was very comfortable. All for a very fair price!

Excellent hotel in it's category. It's of course a basic old CMU block building but they've fixed the property up and it's very clean. To the point if I wonder if the bathroom tile is actually original or if they just bought retro style tile. Lots of nice ammenities. AC works very well.

The Retro Inn is an excellent place to stay. It has been renovated with nice amenities in the rooms, and each room has a retro theme. The staff was very good and their self-service breakfast is one of the best I've had, with a wide variety of items to choose. The Retro Inn is also conveniently located next to a variety of restaurants and shopping. I will definitely stay at the Retro Inn the next time I am in Cortez CO.

Cute place! Our double-queen room was spacious and very clean. Loved being able to park right outside the room door. We arrived late into the evening so were pleasantly surprised to see all the outdoor seating areas around the property once we walked to breakfast in the morning. Hope we will have a chance to stay here again in the future!

My second visit and I wasn't as wowed as the first, but this is a fun motel that needs a bit of a refresh. My sink backed up, the breakfast bar is small, but overall very quiet and convenient.
