The Retro Inn was a fun experience! We stayed in the Woodstock room with the waterbeds. While not all that comfortable for the adults (I don’t know why those things were ever popular), the kids LOVED the experience. The themed room was fun and authentic with lava lamps and black light la and glowing art. The room was very clean and spacious. If you are ever driving through Cortez, I would definitely recommend The Retro Inn. Also, eat at nearby La Casita de Cortez.

Staff was friendly. Atmosphere was . . . Interesting in a very very good way. It both feels like you are stepping into a hotel built in 70s but as soon as you feel the beds or the water pressure. Or click on the tv you realize it's all supposed to be that way.

This is an old restored property with a cute retro theme. Rooms are loud from traffic, adjoining guests, and dogs barking. Air conditioner was loud, TV was unwatchable, room was not particularly clean. Staff was nice but cannot make up for the issues listed above.
