We had a wonderful one night stay at the Retro Inn! I highly recommend this motel when staying in the area. It will be our new go to stop along this route. If you’re looking for a place with cools vibes, old school feelings, and friendly staff then this is the place for you!! There’s a guest lounge with games available and the breakfast had quite a few different options. We both looooved the muffins!! Wish we would have grabbed two each! Thanks for a nice stay!

The name says it. It's a retro style building with a retro theme (albeit modern furnishings), but it's clean, friendly, affordable, and conveniently located.

Everything was very nice. We did have parking lot light coming into the room through the window as the black out curtains weren't wide enough. One more panel would have been nice.
