Far View Lodge

Far View Lodge

8/10 Good
"If you want to experience Mesa Verde in the early morning or late afternoon or evening, the Far View Lodge is your best option for accommodations since it is the only facility within the park. The rooms are modest, but provide all the essentials including good and clean beds, excellent reading lights, a small desk, frig, coffee maker. a large picture window, and a small outdoor terrace. Staffing and training workers for seasonal work in remote National Park hotels must be a huge challenge, so it is understandable that quality control of getting every room super clean after heavy check-out mornings could slip, as several fellow reviewers have noted. So it is probably a good idea to check your room as soon as you arrive. It's also good to remember that, by comparison to the earlier residents living in the cliff dwellings, Far View Lodge is the lap of luxury! :-) If the weather is nice, I would highly recommend having dinner at the lodge's rooftop lounge for expansive views of the Mesa."
