Liked: Cleanliness
The Far View Lodge is the only hotel within the national park. The rooms are simple but clean with a picture window and small balcony looking out over the expanse of the high Mesa. The rooms are in five or six separate buildings and you can park right in front of your door. The lodge has a very nice restaurant and bar with spectacular sunset views. It is also 14 miles inside the park so very convenient for an early start for excursions.

Bed was not clean. Room was adequate but nothing special. Dining was excellent - highly recommended. Breakfast was expensive & not included in price. Park was closed during our stay which was unfortunate.

It was nice to be right in Mesa Verde. The room had spider webs and spiders that we killed. The bathroom had an odor that was disappointing. The deck out the back was nice for night sky viewing. I would suggest to stay on the top floor to avoid noise overhead.

Fantastic views

A fantastic view with great rooms and food. Having a private balcony is the way to go when staying here. It is so quiet and peaceful at night. I had dinner in the lounge outside and it made for the perfect night.

The lady I checked in with was very helpful, getting me creamer as there was no milk available for purchase. There could have been more food choices available in the lounge but the bartender and lounge staff were wonderful, friendly and very helpful as I was with my elderly mother who is picky. The room was nice especially the beds and pillows.

We loved this hotel, in spite of the fact that it is in need of renovations. They seem to need more employees. The linens were not completely clean and we could hear EVERY word the guests in next room spoke. It is a beautiful spot, and staff was friendly. I hope the needed renovations and repairs are done.

Inside the park!

If you go to National Parks frequently, you understand that staying inside the park cuts down so much time! From the entrance to the roads that lead to the dwellings, is a solid 30+ minute drive. The hotel had two dining options and a great little gaming area my kids enjoyed playing board games. We enjoyed our room, and loved looking at the stars in the evening. A great stay.

The staff @ the front desk were kind. This is close to Mesa Verde but it was DIRTY! Our pillow cases hadn't been cleaned & didn't have clean ones, the floors & towels were dirty. I asked the first night for them to clean but there was no staff who could. The next morning at 8am I asked and they wouldn't clean the rooms til later in the day. Found a larva by my Grandson's head & insisted they clean the rooms & they said not til hours later. Left after 1 night & they gave me a refund. There is a workout area & room with a pool table & games. In the future, I will stay in Cortez & drive the extra 50min to Mesa Verde.
