Fantastic place to stay. We got a king bed room and it was very spacious. The host was super nice at check-in and also when we couldn’t get the tv on. She came immediately and fixed the problem for us. We have stayed at The Retro 3 times and will continue to choose it when we are in the area.

This nearly 100-year-old property fits the feel of Santa Fe perfectly — historic (true adobe construction), charming and relaxing. It is perfectly situated for walking to the must-see places in the broader Plaza area. Our king bed room featured an amazing antique quilt, topping a lovely white duvet on a super comfy king bed. Since it is not a “bed and breakfast,” having a full kitchen was terrific for making breakfast and packing lunches for the day’s adventures. At night, the adobe walls of the inn glow with the soft lights of faux luminaries. You will love it

A nice stay by Mesa Verde NP

I loved the environment of this motel. Fun decor, comfortable beds, laundry service and a lot of fun games around for entertainment. So many fun things to see around the grounds and beautiful fruit trees and plants. Would definitely stay again. Very conveniently located near Mesa Verde National Park. Breakfast options were enough for our family.
