Fun Motel With A Lot of Character

This place is in a great location and has a lot more to offer than your typical road-trip motel. The retro motif is a lot of fun and each room has a different theme (ours was Return of the Jedi). Theming aside, the rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with refrigerator & microwave. There is also a fun common area with various activities (billiards, ping pong, PlayStation, etc). The breakfast had some unique microwave items (pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick) but got the job done. Front desk staff was great- friendly & helpful. Would love to stay here again.
Sara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoyed my stay

Good stay - nice people. As you would imagine, less than current furnishings. However, quite clean, there is a Keurig coffee maker with 4 different pods to choose from in the room, and the breakfast was quite good, I thought. Good place to stay when visiting Mesa Verde.
Christie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a great stay. Loved the outdoor areas that we could all sit and visit. The game room was fun for the teenagers and adults. It was nice being close to Mesa Verde and Durango.

Cute and very clean. The staff is so nice and helpful. Easy parking, wonderful breakfast and close to all the attractions. Will stay anytime we come through town.

10/10 Exceptional

The Retro Inn is exactly that. The doors are painted bright neon colors. Our room was purple with pictures of 70's TV shows on the wall and a rotary phone between the beds. The windows actually slide open and there's 60's style chairs to relax in outside your door. Fun touches all around including a working phone booth!

A nice stay by Mesa Verde NP

I loved the environment of this motel. Fun decor, comfortable beds, laundry service and a lot of fun games around for entertainment. So many fun things to see around the grounds and beautiful fruit trees and plants. Would definitely stay again. Very conveniently located near Mesa Verde National Park. Breakfast options were enough for our family.
