Retro Inn is cute. The staff was friendly and the rooms are decorated for the year the room is numbered for. Ours was 1979. The yard needs some maintenance and love but Elvis in the front yard is fun.

Great value

Road trip to visit several national parks in the Southwest and stayed one night at the Retro Inn. This was as good or better than the other hotels we stayed in, for one-third the price. Staff was friendly, service was awesome, the room was very clean and comfortable, and while we did not use the game room or BBQ's, they looked very family-friendly. This property is not fancy, is a little quirky, but definitely fun. We would definitely stay here again if ever in the neighborhood.

Very unique and comfortable room. Property is set in a fifties theme and offers a dog park, plus a simple breakfast bar. For the money it's a value. We will stay again if in the area.
