Great little gem!

AMAZING! I loved our stay here so much that I’m already planning a trip back to MVNP just so we can stay here again. Incredible value for the price and so much fun! Our kids loved seeing the rooms with the waterbeds and trying out the phone booth. Our room was comfy and spacious. The only con is that the walls were very thin, but as long as your neighbor is respectful, it shouldn’t be an issue. 20/10 would stay again.

Incredible experience. Every room # decor is of the time. Fantastic game room. Clean! We usually only stay in places with inside entrances to our room and ratings above 9.0. The rating exceeds our minimum standard. If you want the retro experience with exceptional standards, this is the place!

a little gem

Traveling East with my niece and my dog. She was in charge of the hotel for the night. Chose the known hotel across the street but we discovered before we clicked accept that she had forgotten the pet friendly filter. It wasn't! Looked across the street and saw the sign for Retro Inn Looked at the reviews it had received and decided to go for it. Every review giving accolades was correct! Would I stay again and talk about it to friends? ABSOLUTELY!!! The room was clean, bed comfortable, toughtfully painted, nice wall decor fittin with the retro theme, even down to the orange landline phone. The dog area was an actual chain link run rather than just some green space. Breakfast was basic, nothing hot served but the eating area was delightful. Would I stay again? Yep!

Great little inn

We loved our stay. The property is just as described. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good. We visited Mesa Verde National Park and Arches National Park while staying at the Retro Inn. Staff gave us good suggestions. Visit the CO Welcome Center if you can. Full of good suggestions and maps.

This is a very economical yet cozy inn. Diamond in a rough, i would call it. High value. It can use some improvement but, it has was consistently clean, quite and had a good breakfast selection l. My goto when traveling towards Texas from the northwest. Biggest complaint is that certain rooms has suboptimal parking spots. Not good if you have a large maintenance truck. However, if you talk with the receptionist they can advise to park in a better spot for larger vehicles.
