8/10 Very good

Only game in the park. Excellent location and view. Not high end, but adequate. No wifi in our unit. Staff said we were foo far away from the lodge and it was spotty. This needs to improve.

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.

Staying here is a great way to see Mesa Verde. The hotel is nice, not luxurious but solid and convenient. The food was very good!

Good location

I understand that this was a remote hotel and most people might be OK. However, we couldn’t deal with the mice in the room

Absolutely zero cell phone service. Adequate lodging for the middle of a National Park.
Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the Far View Lodge! We had a room with a view and the sunset was amazing. Clean room that kept with the Mesa Verde theme. If you are going to Mesa Verde, I would definitely recommend staying here! Shaves about 40 mins off your drive time to the hikes and cliff dwelling tours.
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Semi rustic but beautiful views and a delicious restaurant.
Brooke, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is fantastic for location. It's an average national park room. Nothing fancy at all, but what they don't tell you is Mesa Verde has pack rats. They get into the room and nest in the cars. I paid for a double bed, but after seeing the rat run out of the room into the room next door, my daughter slept with me. It's not like we could go anywhere else at 2am. Be aware, you may have an extra companion with you that you didn't expect.

Very old property. Advertised for the view, but many rooms have the view blocked. Very small bathroom. Creaky, old style room heating and cooling. It was clean.
