I was disappointed in the condition of the property There were several spaces the warning ralph and a toilet sitting out on a ramp. Our room and light bulbs out and the toilet paper holder was coming off the wall. the vanity and shelf were broken. the dinner dinning was very good and the service was very good. the cafe/lunch breakfast was not. the staff was annoyed we were there and the food was subpar

I love the National Parks, and so wish I could give this property a good rating. There were a couple of good things about our stay. One, we had a great dinner at the lodge restaurant. Two, it was very convenient to be able to stay in the park. However, our night’s stay was pretty awful—due to mice in our room. I spoke with another guest in the parking lot who also had a terrible night because of mice in their room. When I spoke to the front desk about it in the morning,, they weren’t apologetic at all—said yea, every National Park property has mice, squirrels or raccoons. What?? You should warn your guests to leave all food in their cars then, and work on getting rid ot the mice! It’s hard to beat the convenience ot staying in the park, but customers should know what they’re getting into!

The hotel was fine but the room is a little small with only a few hooks to hang clothes. We ended up staying only one of two nights. The staff was kind and helpful

This is a freat sight seeing place. Bare bones in that if you are looking for luxury do not go here. The accomidations could you some upfrading in the daycets and toilets leak, but all in all work fine. No tvs and wi fi spotty if you can get on. Looking forward to going back as the area is spectaculer.

Mice! Woke up at midnight to find one chewing its way into one of our bags. They were hiding out under the mini fridge. I can only imagine what it looks like under it… After we had turned on the lights, they continued to run around on the floor. Enough said. Also, room had two queen beds. Both had sagging-in-the middle, mattress’s. Horrible. Gentleman in the front office moved us to another room. Good enough room where we felt comfortable enough to finish the night as there isn’t any other place to stay up on the Mesa. Checked out the next morning and requested a full refund. Between the lodge & Expedia, it was promptly refunded, in full. Haunta Virus is a serious risk from deer mice. Interesting on how a national park and Aramark can get away with the lack of cleanliness, safety and health conditions of their accommodations, not only for the public but for the staff as well. From other reviews on this place, others had mice issues as well. Take the reviews seriously, we wished we had. What a disappointing way to ruin our retirement celebration, with our first road trip. Would not recommend staying at Far View Lodge. The rest of the sights on Mesa Verde, are amazing though! Must see!

Great location. The restaurant was good, but book ahead if you expect a table. Bus groups take up the majority of bookings so very little for those who drive there. Front desk reception was poor. The guy checkin us in was more interested in telling us how he was doing us a favour rather than helping out. Needs to learn to listen! Room comfortable and lovely view of the sunset for us. Floors need a clean.

The room was a nice size with comfortable bed. We had a small balcony with a couple of chairs which we sat on at night, which was a nice surprize. It was nice to not have to drive the 1/2hr. to park entrance and then to town after walking trails etc. in heat...but to just be able to relax in park. We had no choice but to eat in metate (their resturant) because that was the only place opened to eat for dinner. Luckily, we were able to get a reservation 15 min. after our arrival, otherwise we'd have to wait till 8p for next available opening. There were prepackaged wraps or salads in lobby fridge that some others that were not so lucky re: reservations could purchase for dinner. Though the food was good in restaurant...it was pricy & i could see that many people would not like the limited menu. I originally planned on eating at the far view lounge...but it was closed, although, according to website, it was still suppose to be a dining option when we were there. We had breakfast at spruce terrace first morning. It was terrible. And expensive. They rushed you through and everything was ice cold. The only choice was already cooked scrambled eggs...no other options. Staff kinda gruff. Luckily, we were there 2 nights and had a delicious breakfast in town (for half the cost) on our way to our next destination.

If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, this is the place. Room was a little worn but very clean and comfortable. The plumbing was a little odd. Hot water comes out of the cold tap for a bit before turning cold and the shower was a bit fickle maintaining a constant temp. Debra was very accommodating at the restaurant and the front desk staff were helpful and friendly.
