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!

Far View is a great location
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.

Enjoyed our stay
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.

The surroundings are wonderful but the property is poorly managed. Registration person was short tempered and not helpful in fixing a problem. Dining room concierge rude. No soap in bathroom. Smell of disinfectant in the cafe. Staff seem burnt out. Pillows smell. I think that covers it all. There was one person at the check in who was very helpful and was doing her best to be helpful. Want to acknowledge her.

We've stayed before and love the location and views. We were very late in the season so amenities are limited, but it is less crowded. The staff hustled to make sure all was well. Would recommend.

Rooms don’t have tvs and walls are paper thin. You can clearly hear every conversation next door as well as any sneeze,cough,burp or fart. Light is very visible under connecting doors not conducive to sleep at all. If you are in middle room you get it in stereo

You are in the middle of nowhere, and it is beautiful. The rooms are very dated and there is absolutely no internet or WiFi except minimally at the office area. I mean you are in the middle off a national park and it worth the inconvenience but kind of unexpected this day and age.

Slim Pickings
There is only one hotel at Mesa Verde, so what are you going to do? The room is old and very worn out. The staff is not very knowledgeable. The manager was great and helped us with our room switch, that was very good. Our dinner was excellent! Only one restaurant open for dinner. Slim pickings.

Mice at Mesa Verde
Twice I encountered an aggressive and abusive clerk at the registration desk. She put on a loud argumentative show on two separate occasions. I don’t know the reason for the first, but the second was prompted by a guest couple who complained about mice in the room , including dead ones. A second couple in the same building moved out because of mice in their room. By the third night the mice in our room had invaded our bed! It appeared that they simply rented the three rooms right away with little or no attention to the mice! Other than that, the room was pleasant. Rodents in a premium priced room is unacceptable, however.

In the park but not sure it is worth it.
Rude staff. Mouse in the wall. The service room beside ours was overflowing with dirty dishes so smelled. EV charger is broken and has been down for awhile. Restaurant on site is priced like a Steakhouse but quality and service is Pizza Hut.

This hotel was very convenient for our visit to Mesa Verde. The room was nice and the area around it was quiet. The dining options were a bit expensive so we bought some food to eat in the room and found that there was no microwave. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Nice for the only accommodations in the park
Stayed for one night while visiting Mesa Verde NP. Checkin was reasonably smooth, the room was small but very nice. The room phone didn’t work which was an issue since we were traveling with friends and cell service is non-existent in the area. It was explained to me that there was a recent lightning storm that caused some damage so not really their fault though we were not made aware of the potential issue. For some reason we thought there was no WiFi but WiFi is available and works well which, once we realized that it was available mitigated the communication problem. Was able to get a reservation at their restaurant and had a nice dinner. Our room had a beautiful sunset view which we were able to enjoy from the small balcony with a southwesterly view.

The location within the Mesa Verde National park is wonderful. The rooms are small, walls thin and the bathroom is very small. There were many mice that appeared at night and the food had to be thrown. Another guest two rooms over had the same problem and let staff know.

Accomodations were adequate for the area. The room was clean. The facility appeared to be short staffed with housekeeping and wait staff in the Metate restaurant. WiFi was only available in the check in area and coverage was spotty at best. Unable to use the room phone to call an outside line or front desk staff,
