Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Some of the food at the cafes and restaurant was excellent, some was only good. All of the food is overpriced for the quality received (it Is in a national park, after all, so not unexpected). The wifi and internet are spotty at best; I could only connect on the second day, and the internet speed was slow. There's no TV or microwave in the king bed room. There are very distant views, but appears pretty flat and featureless from this site. Next time I'll stay in Cortez and make the 90 minute trip to the archaeological sites.

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.
