It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.

The place was surprisingly good for a motel. I usually never do a motel but the reviews and the retro theme sucked me in. Bwd was comfortable and shower was great. Breakfast was the standard boring breakfast and nothing to write home about. I would stay there again if i go to Cortez again

Fantastic, adorable, great communication from the front desk, easy in and out. We only stayed for the night but the price was decent for one night. I love the circle of bench swings. I want one of those at my house for summer nights!!! Very cute place!

I love how quiet this place is. The common area between the rooms looks like a quaint neighborhood. The room reminded me of favorite hotels I stayed in as a kid. Easy to find right by the main road, with lots of amenities and things to do, this place is an excellent value. Do not pass this up!

This was such a cute place. Granted, things were outdated, but that's the whole idea of it. Our room number was 1980, and the pictures on the walls were kids playing PacMan and Nintendo. We had the "game room." Bed was comfy. Shower was good. Lots and lots of towels of good quality. All in all, we were impressed with our stay.

We were heading to Durango and wanted to shorten our drive. Cortez has a great brewery and a great Mexican restaurant we love. First time we stayed at Retro and it was great. Very clean and staff was friendly.
