10/10 Exceptional

This was a very nice lodge with beautiful views. Check out the stars at night from the deck. They have an excellent place for diner at the lodge and a decent reasonably priced breakfast buffet next door. This is a great national park lodge stay for a reasonable price.
Jeffery, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The lodge is a little dated but it was quite comfortable.
Leslie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were right in the National Park which was great since it's such a big national park. The hotel is old but thatabto be expected considering it's on top of a mountain in. National park.

Hotel in the mountain

Amazing stay inside the park.
Susana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stay in the park. Definitely choose a view room. The balcony is a fantastic place to relax at the end of the day or start the day enjoying the view. The breakfast options at the cafeteria are just the hotel breakfast you get at most places with an omelet bar. The Metate restaurant is a better choice for other meals.
Christopher, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointing

It was very disappointing. I would never recommend staying there. The National Park was great. It’s embarrassing that they even allow this hotel in a national park.

Special place in the Pak.

This is our second time staying at the Far View Lodge, A unique experience inside Mesa Verde National Park. The staff is exceptional, from Reception to Restaurant staff. Views unlike virtually any other hotel anywhere.

Cynthia, 1-night trip

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.

4/10 Fair

Vote them Out of Office!

Hard to say. The administration forced parks to stay open in the shutdown without requiring access to attractions. So the Far View Lodge stayed open, but the Park did not give access to the ruins. Why drive for hours only to stay at the Hotel without being able to see Cliff Palace and Balcony House.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Tanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very good location in the park. It’s definitely more “cabin-like” and basic. It was nice to have the restaurant there with incredible views and good food. The room rate was very affordable.
Christopher T, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great option if you want to stay inside Mesa Verde NP. Basic rooms with fantastic views.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to stay.

Nice cabin feel at Mesa Verde National Park. Makes it much easier to get to the sites within the park. Ditto to all other comments about views.
Jim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Handicap accessible and parking was excellent.
Gary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Jay, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel and staff were very nice. Wonderful views from our balconies. Unfortunately, most of Mesa Verde park was closed due to the government shutdown.we had stayed at the Grand Canyon a few days earlier and everything was business as usual. I even got an email from the Grand Canyon before our arrival saying they were open, but some services might not be available due to the shutdown - we didn’t notice anything not available. It would’ve been nice if we had been notified of the closures at Mesa Verde in advance. We were able to drive to one area and see on of the Spruce Tree cliff dwelling in the near distance. But all the roads and trails were closed to everything else, including the museum and visitor center. The hotel and restaurants are run by private companies and were open and very nice!
Judy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The view were pretty good and the little balcony was nice to sit out on and relax.

Thank you for not having a tv in the room. Food was excellent. It was great not having the light pollution so that we could see the Milky Way at night.
