A really fun place with rooms dating from 1950 to 1968 (we had 1971, with characters from Laugh-in decorating the walls)☺️. Very clean with a surprisingly wide choice of breakfast items.

Great retro feel; great front desk staff and breakfast decent; but…bed sheets didn’t fit; walls paper thin so heard the neighbouring room guests until 12:15 am; shower head excellent but no counter in bathroom. Air conditioner made noise of dripping water all night. I would not stay again.

The room was simple but spotlessly clean! I was in a Marilyn Monroe room that sparkled. Breakfast was plentiful but, as usual in hotels, sparse on items for a celiac (gluten-free). Even so, I got my fill on yogurt, fruit, and oatmeal and was on my way to more adventures. I'll be back!

The room was very clean and the entire staff was great. We loved it! So fun!! The decor was terrific in our room, the Marilyn Monroe room!! It was so quiet, we could not hear our neighbors at all. Sure appreciate these refurbished, older motels. No one over you tromping anround late at night or extremely early in the morning. No slamming doors in the hallway either! Score one for old style!! Excellent!!

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!

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.
