This is an old motel that has been renovated. It is quirky & cute. The rooms are good size, clean and comfortable. It is easy to g et in and out on the highway. We had a room in the back and it was very quiet. There is a guest clubroom that is decked out with a pool table, weights & tables/chairs. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. I enjoyed it.

We loved staying at this cute, quirky and fun inn. Beds were really good and the front desk clerk was very friendly. As far as the grounds around the inn, they need some TLC. If we ever return to Cortez, we would stay again.

Loved staying here! So cool having each room with a year theme. We had 1977 so it was disco themed with a wonderful cushy orange chair. The breakfast included was excellent in a 50s diner. Awesome big sign out front with a super cute vintage travel trailer, pink flamingos and Elvis on a bench. Included a ping pong table and giant chess set. Great staff! Would stay here again!

Fantastic place to stay. We got a king bed room and it was very spacious. The host was super nice at check-in and also when we couldn’t get the tv on. She came immediately and fixed the problem for us. We have stayed at The Retro 3 times and will continue to choose it when we are in the area.
