The Retro Resort was everything we were hoping for and more for a little escape. The room was cute and clean, the pool was so nice and refreshing, and the property itself was absolutely beautiful and felt very secluded. Retro Rob very clearly cares about his resort and its guests. We will absolutely be back, and we will be telling all of our family and friends about it! 10/10 *chef’s kiss*

fun hotel with friendly staff. Pool is set in the middle of the property and is surrounded by mature trees. Could have done without the Frank Sinatra music playing all day long. Yes, I understand it is a 'retro motel' and that music could be appeopriate but it was a bit much for me. Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was ok, but would have liked some better pillows. No coffee until 9am - in the office. Affordable, and beautiful property. Overall a pretty nice motel.

This is as named a retro motel with modern convenience. Motels are all the rage now so we thought we would try one. I'm glad we chose this one

Just as advertised - clean, newly renovated, gorgeous surrounds, excellent host (Rob). Room was a typical old-school motel room, renovated in a cool, clean way. Immaculate!

My wife and I booked here last minute for one night as we were just winging it down the west side of the state. We pulled in and the property is simply charming. The pool is small but clean and the temperature was perfect. We really wanted to love this place...and we did...until we opened the door to the room. We were hit by a strong musty smell. The wall is warped by water damage. I should have turned around and checked out then...but we were both tired and my wife wanted to swim in the pool. While the room was clean (outside the strong musty smell), there were some other issues. 1. Only one bar of soap for the bathroom and shower? Only one shampoo? 2. There's about an 1/6 of an inch difference between the floor and the tile at the entryway and into the bath area. There are no transitions between them and this is a safety issue. My toe remembers. 3. The bed is high...if you are short, you're screwed. 4. The rooms are small. A chair would be helpful because again..if you're short and you want to sit somewhere to put on your shoes? You're screwed. I would have left this alone and written it off as a bad experience and tried this property again...until I read the reviews. Other people have complained about the same musty smell and the room is still being rented out. I'm sorry Rob, but that unconscionable. It's not healthy for anyone to sleep in that room. If you can tolerate the other issues I mentioned...enjoy. But if you get room 14? Check out!
