Far View Lodge

Being right in the Park and 10 to 20 minutes from all the sites was the best part for me.

Lovely property and staff was very helpful.

Dana at the front desk made our stay so much better. It's a located in a scenic national Park and that gives it an A+. Unfortunately our national park facilities are not kept in tip top shape

Mesa Verde and the ancient Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings are amazing.

It was a great price and location for staying in the National Park.

The closeness to the park attractions is a huge benefit that saves you time when you're there for a short visit.

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.

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.

We were so happy we were able to stay inside the park. Great location and accommodations!

This was very convenient because it's in Mesa Verde National Park. The room was clean and comfortable, nice small patio with nice view, overall nice stay.
