We enjoyed the retro style of the place. There are lots of nice touches such as the style of the rooms and the lobby/breakfast areas. The clubhouse is a nice touch as well as the tables and chairs in front of each room.

Rooms are appropriately retro themed. We stayed in “1981”. Although it smelled like 1981 and some of the features reminded us of 81 the room had Super cool design and was very comfortable and quiet. Will definitely recommend and stay if ever again in Cortez.

The room was super cool, very clean and the staff was awesome. I stayed in a room that was computer themed based on the room number. It was clever and groovy. I would recommend the RETRO hotel to anybody who wants to support a cool local business
