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.
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.

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
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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The original room we were given was filthy, to the point that it looked like there was throw up on the wall. There was blood on the bedspread and pillows. One of the washcloths looked like it had been used as toilet paper and was there as though it was fresh for somebody to use. The front desk staff gave us the runaround to begin with until the manager was able to intercept a message from us. She was absolutely amazing. She apologized for all of the problems and gave us another room the same day. She was kind and very capable and had things taken care of quickly. We were refunded for one of the nights of our stay. Management is amazing but the support staff is not. They appear to be understaffed and the support staff seemed to not care. I believe they are seasonal workers and do not have a stake in the lodge. There's a monopoly on the food. There are only 2 places to eat at, and they are open at different times throughout the day, so you have to eat at one of the other. The rooms do provide a small refrigerator, and they have ice machines which were helpful. The rooms do not have televisions. Bring cards or games for when you are in the room. No access to the internet and no cell phone service. The walls are thin, and you can hear everything in the other rooms around you. We were not impressed. Hopefully they get their act together. Next time we will just stay in the city and drive to Mesa Verde if we decide to go back. Positive = location.
It was a beautiful property, with wild horses that were outside our patio when we woke up. The view was to die for. Our fan in our bathroom didn’t work, but other than that for the area I would hook it again.
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.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
Location was outstanding though very far from town... like 40 minutes. Hotel was very run down and stayed. It was basically a step up from camping but not much. The rooms were really tiny and liked like they were from the Brady bunch era. Our AC didn't even work. Lucky the windows opened and the area was safe enough to leave our windows open all night so we didn't bake. Restaurant was okay but we found out that a block down the road they sell the safe entres at the cafe for significantly less and you don't have to pay a server. But the price wasn't bad. Not sure I would stay there again unless morning ride in the area was available for close to the same price. It wasn't terrible... again the area and views were great.
