The facilities are dated. The room we had had no smoke detector. One of the balcony chairs fabric was torn and made the chair unusable. The folding luggage holder was broken on one side. This would be a great place with some care of the facilities.

Perfect spot to have access to multiple tours in one day. I did the Cliff Palace tour at 10:30 and drove back to the lodge for lunch and had plenty of time to do the Balcony House tour at 2:30.

Beautiful stars surrounded by nature

We we very satisfied with the room. There was a deck where we enjoyed a few sunsets and great star gazing after the moon set. The room reminded me of a Rorth woods cabin. Definitely not "fancy" but great for what it had. Deer outside of the restaurant some evenings. Convenient for hiking. Resonable restaurant and bar prices. Great fresh air. Families laughing in the evening and quiet hikers too. Staff was very friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a good time. If you need "fancy" this may not be a good fit. For a nice chill place to lay your head at night it was top notch.

My father and I stayed at the the Far View Lodge in Mesa Verde National Park. The location was fantastic from a convenience standpoint, as it saved us from the long, twisty drive up the road. ​However, the rest of our stay was disappointing. Upon entering our room, there was a strong, unpleasant odor from the bathroom. I called the front desk, but they said they were sold out and couldn't move us, despite me seeing empty rooms. I accepted meal vouchers instead of a refund, as finding a last-minute hotel 25 miles away was not an option. ​We also found a broken chair on our balcony. A replacement was delivered 30 minutes later. The room was basic—it had a small fridge and coffee maker, but no TV which was ok. More concerning, the advertised Wi-Fi didn't work in our building as we had no cell coverage. ​The next morning, there was no soap or shampoo. The manager blamed this on "supply chain issues" and said the bathroom odor was a known maintenance problem that was never communicated to staff. It seems like the hotel, run by Aramark, needs to have higher standards. ​While the location is great, I'm not sure I would stay again unless I knew improvements had been made.

It is great to stay within the National Park. The lodge was okay, a bit noisy, w lots of flashlight & car activity as it became dark, but it stopped & ultimately we could see the gorgeous full night sky. There was little to no shampoo, cream rinse, or soap in shower, pillows not fluffy, food a bit pricey, low on staff, the Espresso Cafe was out of eggs at breakfast, but hey...Check in was great. Park stunning though now one mostly has to pay $30. p/person on a guided tour to see gorgeous ruins up close. Different from 23 yrs. ago when we were there last...
