• Ivy (10/5): The retro inn was cute, clean and close to great food. - Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The room was super clean. We especially loved the flooring. I hate carpet.

• Mejak (8/5): -
• Janet (8/5): Fun - The quirky decor Generous breakfast offerings Elvis
• Michael (8/5): solid affordable lodging in Cortez, near Mesa Verde. - Kiffany was super friendly and helpful at check-in. The room was clean and comfortable, and decorated in a Top Gun theme. WiFi was solid and the TV with DirecTV was nice. Shower was hot and strong. Restaurant across the street (Destination) was pretty good as well. Breakfast was pretty bad, with weak coffee and inedible microwave burrito, but some cereals, yogurt, toast, hardboiled egg were OK.
• nuria (10/5): - Un lloc molt ben cuidat . Els llits son .olt comodes ,es espaios i te tot el necesari per tenir un bona estada. L'esmorzar es bo
• Thomas (10/5): Great 1950’s stay - All of the rooms appear to themed. Ours was 1953, the Marilyn Monroe room. She was full wall sized, which gives you something to think about in bed! There was a beautiful grass tree covered court for relaxing in the fresh air. Game room with pool tables. Nice retro breakfast area with an adequate breakfast selection. Note: There is a Thai restaurant up the street that is excellent!
• Mary (10/5): This was our second time staying here in 2 years and we’ll continue to stay at the Retro Inn. We absolutely love it. - Everything! The staff is amazing. The free breakfast is great.
• Michael (10/5): Classic motel that takes you back to the 1950s and 60s - A very classic motel. Every time I stay there it gets a little better. This is probably my 10th or 12th stay. The breakfast is top-notch and well worth the cost of the room. Highly recommend. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
• julie (10/5): -
• John (9/5): -
• Simone Margarete Käthe (7/5): Für eine Nacht ging es - Retro stimmt hier im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Ist ganz nett. Wir hatten eine Suite gebucht- da wir aufgrund des Rollstuhls mehr Platz benötigen. Bad war ein Tanzsaal- sehr groß. Rollstuhl geeignet ist hier nicht richtig. 2 Stufen am Eingang, hohe Stufe zur Dusche- kein Sitz, keine Haltegriffe. Im Zimmer durch 2 Sessel und ein Ottomane sehr eng.

• Lisa (10/5): - It was very clean and comfortable. Would be a great place for a family reunion. We were only there for one night so we didn't have time to take advantage of all the activities available. No complaints!
• Jens (9/5): Kurzer Weg zum Mesa Verde NP - Das Hotel ist schön gestaltet und gut gepflegt. Es war sauber mit großen Zimmern und bequemen Betten. Wenn man, so wie wir in einem der hinteren Räume ist, hört man die Straße nicht sehr. Manche Ausstattung war ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Das Frühstück machte nicht viel her.
• Diane (9/5): Nice family motel - Mom and Pop type of motel. Room was gigantic with a kitchenette and living room area.. Great breakfast buffet too! Staff are friendly. Everything was great!
• David (4/5): Not good - Ok Tv didn't work
• Sherri (10/5): Great location family friendly - We felt safe and comfortable. The atmosphere is laid back and staff is extremely accommodating. The breakfast was good and if we are ever in Cortez again, we will stay at the Retro Inn again. My husband said the sheets were stiff for him. I thought they were extremely comfortable.
• Kathleen (9/5): -
• Bärbel (10/5): - Süßes Motel im Retro Style mit schönen Details . Im Zentrum und doch ruhig. Essen und Einkaufen fußläufig. Frühstück war liebevoll präsentiert und reichlich.
• dayna (9/5): Old school motel feel with modern convenience and comfort. - Location near Mesa Verde National Park and tasty restaurants in Cortez. Friendly staff and clean, comfortable room. Nice shower with good water pressure. Appreciated the water bottles but wish there were more breakfast options, including different coffee and tea selections and pastries.
• Rondi (8/5): Great location and fun place to stay! - I love the location and the Retro vibe. It’s always clean and well taken care of.
• Susan (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay - it met our needs very well! - Loved the location, the price, the vibe/ambiance, the amenities. The electrical outlets had trouble retaining the cord plugs and charging adapters.
• Matthias.l (10/5): -
• Paula (8/5): -
• Wernars (9/5): - Fantastisch personeel, locatie is leuk. Echt een klassiek motel. Leuke schone kamers. Ontbijt viel iets tegen, maar de koffie was goed. Vlak bij een denny's waar je goed kan ontbijten
• pcharpentier (8/5): - L'ambiance années 60/70's. .
• Lester (10/5): Un hotel sencillo, con su propia personalidad, ambiente y decoración retro. - Un hotel sencillo pero perfectamente ubicado, con su propia personalidad, ambiente y decoración retro, muy limpio. La habitación fue comoda y amplia. Sirven un buen desayuno. Base ideal para visitar el Parque Nacional Mesa Verde. Nada que señalar.
• John (9/5): Funky, well thought out and inexpensive. - Really funky fit out of an old school motel. Clean, comfortable modern rooms. Games room, guest laundry and outdoor space. Close to some good dining options Easy access to Mesa Verde National Park The breakfast was pleasant and adequate, but don’t expect a full buffet. A really well thought out property. Everything was excellent.

• Tobin (9/5): -

• Serghei (9/5): Great hotel, nice garden - All good No good coffee
• Kathleen (6/5): Would probably not stay again due to odor. - Good location. Good value breakfast. Unpleasant smell is n the room. Maybe a combination of cleaning products with old furnishings.

• Isabelle (10/5): -
• M (10/5): Prettig retro motel in een prachtige omgeving - Het motel is oud(erwets) de kamer was netjes onderhouden, geverfd, schone nieuwe vloerbedekking, een reis terug in de tijd zoals we verwacht hadden. Met leuke details. Ontbijt was prima en te nuttigen in een dinerachtige ruimte, heel leuk. En het was dichtbij Mesa Verde. Een goed restaurant en Danny op loopafstand. ‘s nachts veel geluiden , ijsmachine? die steeds aansloeg en de doorgaande weg.
• Beryl Tania (9/5): - Cute quirky hotel. Staff was super nice. Good location.
• Adreana (10/5): - Everything is old school. Lots of stuff to do at the property such as playing with a big cheese board, swinging chairs if you want to relax & an arcade room. Room was very spacious. It's a little old, but it blends in with old school.
• Tsinnijinnie (8/5): -
• David (10/5): -

• Christy (9/5): -
• Richard (9/5): -
• Anna (6/5): -
• Tammy (9/5): Love the retro vibe! - What a fun, unique place! From the moment I arrived, I loved the retro-style sign—it really set the tone. The woman at the front desk was warm and bubbly, making for a great first impression. One of my favorite touches was how each room is numbered and themed by a specific year, like 1969, with décor reflecting what was popular at the time. Our room featured nods to Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In and Volkswagen. That along with vibrant colors, made it feel especially nostalgic. The chairs in front of every room were painted in fun colors as well. Had it been warmer, I would've sat out there while having a beverage. There’s also a nice outdoor space for kids or just relaxing, and a comfortable indoor area if the weather isn’t ideal. The on-site laundry is convenient and very reasonably priced. Bed was pretty comfortable, nothing fancy, but clean. We missed breakfast, so I can't comment on that. I would definitely stay here again—I didn't take pictures, but the ones online are a good depiction. There honestly wasn't anything I didn't like. We stopped here after touring Mesa Verde.
• CATHERINE (9/5): - Super motel très propre Déco extra nous avons adoré, Je recommande vivement très bon rapport qualité prix
• SC (10/5): Great experience. Will definitely book again if in the area. - We loved everything here. The property and room were very clean and comfortable. The retro decor was awesome. You could tell housekeeping took great pride in leaving a clean, organized room. Breakfast had many choices. n/a
• Cindy (8/5): -
• Lisa (9/5): Cool place to stay - Room 1985 was cool with Top Gun features. The bed was super comfy & breakfast was good. Game room was super nice. Hardly any room between your knees and the floor when you're in the bathroom on the toilet :(
• Tanya (10/5): Cute and clean. - This space was cute and clean. We enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
• Moira (9/5): - Good location. Clean comfortable rooms with some quirky decorations. Great value
• Danièle (9/5): Très agréable - Son côté rétro justement, beau concept Nous avons très bien dormi, même mieux que dans un hôtel « plus élaboré «  De bonnes idées et nous avons pu même laver notre linge Le petit déjeuner à améliorer
• Colleen (10/5): -
• Melanie (9/5): Loved the concept of themed rooms and they were clean! I would stay here again! - Loved the themed rooms and they were very clean. It was great that there was laundry facility available. I staff could have been more friendly at check in. It was the end of the day, but the laundry area was not a very clean area, garbage was overflowing, dryer lint filter was very dirty with a thick layer of lint and little to no counter space. The breakfast could have had more of a selection available, no protein options.
• Michael (9/5): -
• Yaroslava (7/5): -
• Eric (8/5): -
• Kathy (8/5): Good value, great location. - Great location, staff was helpful and friendly. The room wasn’t totally clean. A sticky substance was all over a bedside stand and floor, there was dust and hair on lampshade and the corners of the bathroom floor. I informed the cleaning lady and she politely apologized.
• VanderZwaag (10/5): - Super clean, quiet room and fun decor both on and out. Great outside setting and activities for kids like giant chess set and chair swings. Good variety of food for breakfast. Pleasantly surprised to find boiled eggs and breakfast burritos for protein. Loved that we could use the toasters at night too toast our own bread for a late night snack. Fridge and freezer in room. Bath great for toddler. Just be aware games room is open 9-9. (We didn't check in until 8:50 and left at 8:30.so kids were disappointed.)
• Victoria (8/5): Whimsical - Breakfast was good. Fun atmosphere. Friendly and clean.
• Sharyn (10/5): - The ambiance was spot on! Rooms weren't "fussy". Clean and comfortable with just the right extras!! The shower head and the toaster waffles
• Andrew (7/5): -
• Lynn (8/5): Good value, clean room near Mesa Verde. - Liked the retro style, location, clean affordable room. Allows dogs. Fan for heat was very loud. Strong cleaning smell.
• Matthew (8/5): -
• Julie (10/5): Very comfortable with fun activities on the property, kind staff, great value - Super clean and lots of character N/A
• Simon (10/5): Excellent - Everything. Charming and helpful staff. An extremely comfortable stay Nothing
• Karen (8/5): -

• William (10/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): The best hotel in Cortez - A gem! Affordable, clean and comfortable. Great staff, great location, and good breakfast. Don't stay at the big chain hotels - this is the place to give your business. 5 stars.. This place is great. Once minor gripe: Feels wasteful to have much water pressure in the shower and sinks for the water available in this part of the country.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Janet (8/5): -
• Guillem (10/5): - És un motel molt agradable i de camí al parc nacional de Mesa Verde. Molt bé de preu i realment aconsellable. Res.
• wyomingtana (10/5): - We been coming here for the past 5 years None
• Scott (10/5): -
• Michele (10/5): Wonderful and cute! - So cute! The Retro theme was so cute and nostalgic, you get an actual key for your room and park right in front of your door. They had a game room with a pool table and foosball, swings outside and the view was beautiful. This room was also the cheapest price I paid for a room for my entire week out west and was one of the best! Cortez is a small town too, easy to get around and find stuff. Everything was great.
• Kathleen Cecelia (10/5): Cute Nostalgic Spot with Character - First time staying here. It was a unique motel experience with cute rooms. It felt quiet even though it's right off the highway. The Retro Inn had a lot of nice amenities for the price. I would stay here again! The curtains in my room did not perfectly block out the floodlights at night, so some light crept in.
