We had a wonderful one night stay at the Retro Inn! I highly recommend this motel when staying in the area. It will be our new go to stop along this route. If you’re looking for a place with cools vibes, old school feelings, and friendly staff then this is the place for you!! There’s a guest lounge with games available and the breakfast had quite a few different options. We both looooved the muffins!! Wish we would have grabbed two each! Thanks for a nice stay!
