A really fun place with rooms dating from 1950 to 1968 (we had 1971, with characters from Laugh-in decorating the walls)☺️. Very clean with a surprisingly wide choice of breakfast items.

The hotel was amazing!! After a week of hard hiking, I had a quiet morning, so I took my coffee and went to the clubhouse, started a fire, in the electric fireplace, shot pool, and watched the sun rise through the giant glass doors. It was perfect!!

Retro Inn promoted it's vintage vibe, and did not disappoint. What we weren't expecting was the size of the unit we were assigned -- more of a condo than a motel room, including a full kitchen, with access to a great back yard patio, BBQ area, and fire pit surrounded by porch swings. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

The Retro Inn has seen better days. Years ago when first staying there, it was less run down and a lot more charming...grounds and rooms just didn't have the same appeal they used to have. Staff seemed less hospitable..thinking it's about time to change out a few things to create the look..maybe a place to start would be the long faded out fake flowers in the outdoor lattice dividers...

The property had a 60s feel to it. The break room had Old diner style chairs and tables. Elvis was sitting on a bench for a photo op next to an old style camper. The rooms had pastel colored doors with metal chairs and tables to match. The room was very large and was exceptionally clean.
