Friendly, quirky adorable. You have to stay here!
I loved the Retro Inn! I could only stay overnight, but I would love to return to Cortez and spend time exploring the area. I arrived at 1 a.m. The lobby closes at 10 p.m., but they sent me a passcode to open a lockbox where I found my door key. I did have a difficult time opening the door - original locks, perhaps, but once inside, I loved my room. The bed was so comfortable that I fell asleep fast and stayed asleep. It was quiet and had everything I wanted or expected for a budget stay. In the morning there was coffee and friendly people. The place is a 1950s (older?) motel and is cute as can be.

This is the best motel I've ever stayed in.
Clean, affordable, hot showers with an awesome showerhead, and the room didn't smell like fragrances and air fresheners. Zero complaints. I absolutely loved it and would stay again.
