It was nice to be right in Mesa Verde. The room had spider webs and spiders that we killed. The bathroom had an odor that was disappointing. The deck out the back was nice for night sky viewing. I would suggest to stay on the top floor to avoid noise overhead.

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.

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.

The Far View Lodge is the only hotel within the national park. The rooms are simple but clean with a picture window and small balcony looking out over the expanse of the high Mesa. The rooms are in five or six separate buildings and you can park right in front of your door. The lodge has a very nice restaurant and bar with spectacular sunset views. It is also 14 miles inside the park so very convenient for an early start for excursions.

This was not a good experience. Upon checking in we were told that we hadn't paid when we had so I had to dig up the receipt. When I went to my room for the first time the key didn't work and its a good thing - someone else was in the room. I didn't get seated for my dinner reservation until 30 minutes after the reserved time. The ice machines didn't work so I had to take my ice bucket to the restaurant.

Aweful way to treat customers

I booked a 5 day stay 8 months in advance. I called a few days before to confirm my reservation. The day I checked in they told me, they could only let me stay 3 nights as THEY had over booked. I had 2 more parties with me as we had plans to do tours in the park. One party was told the same as I. This was a terrible way to start off our vacation, as we traveled over 800 miles. Why wasn't I called in February? So I could book somewhere else. The pictures are deceiving. The room looks very nice through the lens of the professional photographer. That is not what you get. Total space of the bathroom, is about 5 1/2 feet x 4 1/2 ft. It's hard getting out of the shower and I am a smaller lady about 5 ft tall. Not an average person. Good luck if you a larger size person. I put in for a king size bed. We got 2 doubles. Hotel staff was rude when we went to ask about our reservations. Told me I shouldn't have booked through a third party. Also, told me if I didn't vacate on the day they told me to leave, they would call the park police and have me forcefully removed. I spent at least 4 hours and 3 days of our vacation time to resolve this issue. Yes, we all (6 total) had to find another hotel.

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.
