This is a step back in time replicating the days of ultimate motel overnight stays. We had the 1975 room and were greeted with bright colored walls and pics of icons like Rod Stewart & Elton John! The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and we had a great shower. The property is fun with all of the little outdoor patio sets in front of each room, the giant lawn chess board, all of the sitting areas, swings and gazebo. The game room is a blast from the past offering a pool table and foosball table. The entry is decorated with a vintage camper, Elvis, & a darling Retro Inn motel sign. The property is a little dated and nothing fancy, but it's a great overnight stop! The continental breakfast was a light selection but enough to get us on the road. If you are looking for a fun place to stay - this is definitely it!

A few more selections for breakfast would be nice but wouldn't keep us from staying again.

We really enjoyed the unique character of this motel. Each room has its own individual style – we stayed in the 1985 Maverick Room, which was creatively designed and a lot of fun. The room was very clean, and we appreciated the outdoor seating area on the lawn with plenty of shade from the trees. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus. Perfect for visiting Mesa Verde NP.

On the downside, our room was located right across from the breakfast room, and the air conditioning unit there was quite loud. Also, Room 1985 has a connecting door to the next room, and we could clearly hear conversations and the TV from our neighbors.

I liked the value for $'s spent - The front desk was friendly and helpful, room was spotlessly clean, I had a microwave and small fridge! ! ! ! Huge help for us. The mattress was comfortable, though I maybe on it's way to being time to replace it. We stayed in the Flintstone room. Grounds were nice and we enjoyed sitting outside to eat our dinner. Game room looked awesome for families with kids! Breakfast offered many options and was all we needed.

It would be nice to have a small bedside stand on both sides of the beds - we both have water bottles, phones that are charging and need a place to put our eye glasses as we go to bed.

Breakfast was adequate but not great. However, the grassy grounds with tables for picnic meals, the retro decor, and the friendliness of the staff made this a great place to stay. We stopped on our way from Oregon to Albuquerque and liked it so much we booked a room on our return trip. Enjoyed a few games of pool and some NBA-game watching in the rec room. It was nice to stay in a place where we could open the windows and get some fresh air in. This is not a modern antiseptic hotel but was clean and had very comfortable beds.

The toilet in room 1985 was a bit too low to the ground to the liking of senior citizens but it reminded myself of my old pre-ADA toilet which I replaced last year!

This is a delightfully cute motel. We had a super-spacious room with a mini patio just outside the door. Our room was decorated with posters of old TV shoes—Welcome Back Kotter, Three’s Company, etc. The motel has a clubhouse with a foosball table, a pool table, a few board games, and a laundry room. Breakfast is laid out in the hotel lobby, adjacent to a retro-decor dining area with old-fashioned tables, chairs, and booths. The staff was friendly. A great choice for a stay in Cortez.

A very nice place to stay. Nice grassy area for our dogs to play in in the courtyard of the hotel and they also had a dedicated dog run area which was an added bonus. the property was spotless and had a very inviting atmosphere both outside for the giant chess board, the swing and outdoor patio tables and also inside the club house. Our room was spotless and had the perfect amenities. the staff were excellent and you could tell they take pride in what they do.

I would only change one thing about the stay...... Update the toilet in the room to ADA height

Late check-in was easy. Our immaculate room was very spacious with vibrant colors & unique decor. The bed was very comfortable & the temperature was easy to control. The fridge and microwave were both in great condition and worked very well. The iron also worked just fine and the soleplate was actually clean! I liked that the bathroom fan had a separate switch from the light, and the provided mini toiletries smelled amazing! So amazing that I meant to ask if we could buy some extras to take with us when I checked out, but I forgot.

It would have been nice if there were some hot food choices for breakfast, and it took me a few minutes to find the ice/vending machine late at night, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again.

What a find--we loved this motel with its retro-themed rooms. We stayed here for two nights, while exploring Mesa Verde. Perfect location for that! The room was very clean, had nice toiletries, comfy bedding. The decor was so fun! Breakfast is served in the main building on retro furniture, and there are all the usual, fresh and baked items, cereal, plus frozen burritos and hard-boiled eggs. The baked goods and fruit were fresh and nice. Great coffee!

The hotel is located right on the main road and some of the street noises are not drowned out by the AC. One of our beds was firm, and one was soft--once we figured this out, we switched beds so that everyone had the mattress they preferred. For breakfast, there was no non-dairy milk offered--we supplied our own. Also, one morning the hard-boiled eggs did not taste good. Overall, these were minor items compared to the ambience, friendliness of the staff, and overall great value of our stay.

Location, dog park

I made my reservations long ago. On our way to our stay in Seattle our room was great. On our way home we stayed two nights to go to Mesa they said they upgraded us to a larger room. I felt like I was put in time out. The room seemed smaller than our first room and it seemed like an after thought of a room. Everytime you mo ex on the bed it sounded like it was going to break. Then we kept finding these little buhs I'm our room. They were t bed bugs, don't know what they were we would do back again, but I think we'd a good the last room we stayed in

Each room has a unique set of photos with a particular theme. Room 1982 has photos of old computers from the 1950s and 1960s. In front of the hotel is a camper trailer exhibit from the same time period. Beds were modern and comfortable.

Situated on the main strip through Cortez, although the noise did not seem to reach our room at the back of the property.
