Great location with a great view. Every staff we run into were super nice and welcoming. The room was just perfect for the 3 nights. The bed was soft. This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Mesa Verde NP. It is right next to the two loops to visit the park.

Staff sould have warned us there would not be any housekeeping. We were told the econg night to get towels and coffee pods at the reception. Becuase we did take the car every time to go to the reception and/or dinner it was an inconvenience. All that needed to be done was tell us at checking that there would not be any housekeeping. All in all it really was not an inconvenience really. However, please alert your next customeres about the no housekeeping.

Location inside park was great. We truly enjoyed the balcony for star gazing. The Far View Cafe food was excellent. Really nice viewing terrace, also.

The ice machine was out of order and we had to walk to another building to get ice. No direction on broken machine on where to get ice. Right side ramp to second floor was blocked off and in need of repair, so everyone on the right side of the building had to walk to the left side to access their rooms. The faucets were not working properly. Hot valve squeaked when turned on. The cold valve was very loose. Hot water in shower did not get very hot.

Great view from the restaurant, nice selection of beers, though could definitely use a few more vegan food options. The best part is being able to stay in the park, relax at the end of the day, and catch an amazing sunset at the restaurant terrace. Oh, and there were wild horses!

Check in is very late, not until 4:00 which I can live with because there's plenty to do in the park. The real issue for me was the lack of food options. At the end of the long day, a salad is not what I'm after, I had to have the children's spaghetti with marinara sauce, which was not good. Please consider adding additional vegan friendly options

The view was wonderful. We saw many different types of birds as well as the Vista of the Mesas and mountains in the distance. The door to the balcony afforded a wonderful breeze through the room. Even with the porch lights, it was possible to see the Milky Way in the wee hours of the morning.

There wasn't anything I didn't like, but what I noticed was the age of the buildings and the need for updates for decor and function. Because this is a national park, I was made well aware that my tax dollars would be well spent to support national parks and the amenities that allow us to comfortably visit these wild and open spaces. I am grateful that Farview Lodge is available in the heart of the park for better access and viewing of historical landmarks.

Location was terrific - there are very few lodging options within the park - campgrounds or the Far View Lodge are it. It was wonderful to be inside the park already; we had a 9am Balcony House tour which meant we had to arrive at 8:45am. Having a room at Far View Lodge meant that we could get more sleep and spend less time in the morning navigating windy roads. The room was small but clean; the 2 Queen beds were comfortable, and my family enjoyed the little balcony too.

Nothing. It's not fancy but it beats staying outside the park.

good location for visiting Mesa Verde - you are right in the heart of the park. Spacious lodge room with nice look out onto trees and a bit of the distant horizon. Nice restaurant at lodge with great views and very tasty food (although it wasn't cheap! and no other food option in the evening)

A few housekeeping issues could have been better, we had no plug for the sink and the coffee machine didn't work properly. Also it was cold when we were there, and although the room heating warmed up the room, we could have done with an extra thick layer on the bed as it was quite cold in the night. But those things didn't really spoil our stay, on the whole it was good.

This is the only game in town if you want to stay in the park and not camp. The rooms are decent with great views, but are rather dated with paper think walls. I have come to expect this from all in-park lodging. Does not appear that any updates to the room have happened in many years, although the room was overall clean (except for the coffee maker, which looked like a biohazard).

Considering the cost for this very basic hotel, I would love to see them invest some money in updating the rooms. Always a step back in time with in-park hotel accommodations. Very much paying for location.

Staff at the upstairs restaurant/bar was obviously overwhelmed yet very kind and professional. Food in main restaurant was one of the best meals of our 4000 mile trip . A nice surprise. We were so glad we got a room inside the park so we didn’t have to make that long drive up each day

No microwave in the room and ours seemed to be the only room that didn’t have a little table to go with the chairs on the deck. The walls are paper thin so you can hear the neighbors talking. But the ambience of seeing the feral horses, deer, and being right there in the park makes up for it.

Practically a must stay if you are doing Mesa Verde NP, as the location in the park makes life so much easier. Quiet and clean little room, friendly staff and very friendly restaurant staff and waiters with good food and views.

We had noisy neighbors for two nights as the place is older with thinner walls. But I don't hold that against the lodge. Inconsiderate humans are becoming part of the travel experience and just a little bad luck they were next to us.

View, Location.

The Dinner service was very slow. Many others were served before us. One of the meals was cold and the other was warm. It appeared that the cold meal was waiting for the warm meal to be ready before both being brought to the table. Breakfast was atrocious. Too much throw away plates and crockery. Little to no healthy food items. Eggs hard, rubbery and not fresh. Both the sausage and bacon were way too salty. They ran out of crockery and the staff couldn't find any to restock. Hard to know how one is expected to eat an omelet without crockery.
