Room was clean and colorful. Loved the balcony to sit and read and enjoy the beautiful views. Food was only okay at the lodge. Appreciated the weigh room. Liked the proximity to tours, hikes and eating. Liked being inside the park.

Beautiful view. Great staff. The only issue was that the cleanliness was not up to par. The back terrace had mouse droppings all over it and the shower was mildewed.

We stayed a few days before Memorial Day weekend, and the end of their “off season.” Our room was fairly clean but the appliances (small fridge and coffee maker) did not work due to a bad outlet. Many of the sites were closed due to the off season and road repairs. The outside lights by the rooms were too bright for any sort of appreciation of their recognition as a Dark Sky Destination. Food in the Lodge was good but the bathrooms in the Lodge and Terrace needed some cleaning attention. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was fantastic with beautiful views and comfortable beds. That said the room could’ve used a little more attention, three towels for four people, coffee maker, but no cups and at best nine minutes of hot water. Only one of us got to take a hot shower each day while the others took cold survival showers. We are also disappointed to find the casual dining option closed despite it saying online and confirming with several phone calls that it would be open. Our party with young children felt somewhat forced into dining in the more upscale Metate room. Based on the beautiful location, I would still recommend it, but be prepared for some of the issues.

The rooms are small and could you upgrades. The bathroom was tiny and the toilet low and the seat barely large enough to accommodate one's derriere. I suspect someone of abundant corpulence would have great difficulty using the toilet. Likewise the shower was tiny barely allowing one person to fit inside. Because of the remoteness of the location there is no tv. The wifi worked ok. It took 3 trips back to the front desk to get the card key to work. If returning to Mesa Verde, I would probably stay there because of the convenience of close proximity to the cliff dwellings. However, I would stay only one night.

Property was not at all what we expected. Photo was very deceiving. Only two restaurants on the Property and neither one opened until 5. The other places listed to eat only had breakfast from 7 to 10 and then closed at 5. The toilets are so low that if you have knee issues at all good luck getting up. The toilets just barely flush. Bathroom is so small one person barely fits. Water was nice but the shower head was loose. There are no bo not disturb signs. Check out is not until 11 and housekeeping knocked on the door at 8. We took our look at Mesa Verde but when we got back our key didn't work. There was only one ice house for whole property and it was clear down by the office. Other than that the staff was pleasant. Very under staffed. We had dinner at the lounge and there was 1 waiter and one bar tender on a Friday night. The waiter was amazing for as over whelmed as he was. The bartender was great too. If I were asked would I stay there again my answer would be absolutely not
