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,

A very quiet place, natural, a bit other-worldly which is suitable for this ancient place. People here were all quiet and respectful. We would have liked to have a shower mat for the floor for stepping out of the shower. Our king bed unit is very small with little space for storing our 2 suitcases. Our king bed was super comfortable. We liked the environmental friendliness, even the waste baskets are metal, not plastic. Large windows looking out over the environment is nice and the deck outside our unit was very nice and relaxing to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the beautiful sunset. The lounge was a great place to eat dinner, the menu had good options and the food was very good; the bartender did a super job despite being short-staffed and the only person taking orders and making-serving drinks, and there was also a food server who helped clear the tables. Despite this, they kept things flowing well and were very friendly. The restaurant does require reservations and we weren't able to make those in time to eat there by dinner time. But the restaurant hostess was very friendly and as accommodating as possible. WIFI is very spotty, cell service is very poor, due to the remote location. Parking is ample in all areas. The Fairview Terrace cafe and Spruce House cafe don't offer a large variety of foods, but the servers are very friendly, food was good, the young woman making our omelets was very friendly, organized, and attentive to details.

I could not get a consistent warm shower. The water would be cold then scalding then immediately cold. The walls ere thin and we could hear the next room conversation We were so happy to leave and will not be back The one 5 star goes to our server at the Metate Room in the Far View Lodge. Debby our server gave us first class service

Not as advertised
Wonderful view but lights around the property were too bright for labeling themselves as a dark sky property. The internet did not work at all on any of our phones, even in the lobby. The lounge was the only place we could get food and they were severely understaffed. Our tub was so slick, I almost fell in the shower. The accommodations are not worth the pricey National park lodge price

Cold water tap broken. Poor, broken shower containers. Door let in wind. After calling the first morning and letting someone know, nothing was done to fix the problems. Expensive, understandable, but no one cared to do anything about it while we were there. Good dinner.

This was our first time staying in a National Park facility and it was disappointing. We expected it to be dated but it needs a total upgrade. There is no cell service and the phone in our room didn't work, which the staff was aware of. Wifi only in the registration office and that was spotty. One working ice machine on the property. Cobwebs in the bathroom. A/C finicky. Bed was comfortable and view amazing.
