Top Rio Grande Southern Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

Retro Inn at Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"We travel through Cortez, CO on our way to Albuquerque several times a year ( for the last several years). We always stay at The Retro Inn. It's always very clean, very quiet and very comfortable. The Wi-Fi is good and strong and connects quickly. We love the older style motels where you can park right outside your room. There's plenty of room between cars in the parking lot. We're big fans of The Retro Inn. Great motel in a great area if Colorado."
