I love the different room types and the room # is based on the year, a lot of effort was put into making this a retro type stay, rooms are spacious, bathrooms are a little smaller but I love the rain shower, it made up for the smaller bathroom. Overall I loved the whole concept of this property.

We stayed here a couple of years ago and found it was still excellent during our 2-night stay. The decor has a sense of playfulness. Our room was large and clean. The wifi was excellent. Breakfast was good with oatmeal, fresh fruit and other expected items. Our only complaint is that our room could use another light or two, particularly one on the desk. It's a large room that needs better illumination. But the Retro Inn will still be our choice the next time we pass through Cortez.

Great place to stay in Cortez
It's a motel in a the West, not a,Hilton Hotel in Dubai.... it has a special feeling. Location is great. Rooms are spacious and clean. They just finished a guest room, where people can get together and play. There were a few games, and there are tables inside the room, and outside if the weather is nice. They also have continental breakfast, with a very good selection. Boiled eggs, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, milk, corn dogs, burritos, and several types of bread, along with butter, cream cheese and jellys. Coffee, juice, and fruits. Really, one of the best continental breakfast you can get in a Motel like this.
