Wonderful concept to update and retro theme older motel. Decor appears new with 50 era theme. Friendliest hotel check in I've had in years.

Cool, quirky, unique and fun! Our experience with the Retro Inn was super! We loved the room themes and was lucky to stay in the Elvis room. Rooms were very clean and had newer good quality mattresses and linens. Friendly and helpful staff with good dining out recommendations. Close to downtown and short drive to Mesa Verde park entrance.
