Perfect spot to have access to multiple tours in one day. I did the Cliff Palace tour at 10:30 and drove back to the lodge for lunch and had plenty of time to do the Balcony House tour at 2:30.

Dana at the front desk made our stay so much better. It's a located in a scenic national Park and that gives it an A+. Unfortunately our national park facilities are not kept in tip top shape

Liked: Cleanliness
The Far View Lodge is the only hotel within the national park. The rooms are simple but clean with a picture window and small balcony looking out over the expanse of the high Mesa. The rooms are in five or six separate buildings and you can park right in front of your door. The lodge has a very nice restaurant and bar with spectacular sunset views. It is also 14 miles inside the park so very convenient for an early start for excursions.

Bed was not clean. Room was adequate but nothing special. Dining was excellent - highly recommended. Breakfast was expensive & not included in price. Park was closed during our stay which was unfortunate.

Very good location in the park. It’s definitely more “cabin-like” and basic. It was nice to have the restaurant there with incredible views and good food. The room rate was very affordable.

Disappointing

It was very disappointing. I would never recommend staying there. The National Park was great. It’s embarrassing that they even allow this hotel in a national park.
