The place was surprisingly good for a motel. I usually never do a motel but the reviews and the retro theme sucked me in. Bwd was comfortable and shower was great. Breakfast was the standard boring breakfast and nothing to write home about. I would stay there again if i go to Cortez again

Super cute retro hotel. Cat friendly, thank you!!! Lots of fun to be had on the property. Games, swings, seating areas. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Was able to leave our totes on the back of the jeep. Safe area. Alittle street noise, but expected. Lots of food options in walking distance. Friendly staff. Would absolutely stay again if in the area.

It's very cute!

Fantastic, adorable, great communication from the front desk, easy in and out. We only stayed for the night but the price was decent for one night. I love the circle of bench swings. I want one of those at my house for summer nights!!! Very cute place!

The front staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was not. I found half-eaten food inside at the table, I had to ask for paper goods and towels from front office. Door locks were loose and I felt insecure leaving anything in the room.

Love it here! I’m so sad we’re only staying for one night. So charming and cute, everything is beautiful and fun, the rooms are huge, check in was a breeze, and our kids love the game room! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. This is such a great spot.

It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.

Loved the retro themed, the common outdoor area and breakfast options. The lock is the door was sticky. One lamp didn’t work-limited light inside. The bed was comfortable and the location from the highway was convenient. Shops and restaurants were close.
