Econo Lodge Cortez near Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here several years ago and it wasn't very good. This time it had been remodeled and was very nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at the breakfast buffet."

Quality Inn near Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Pam, the woman that checked us in was the sweetest. It was great to see such a smiling face after Really Long Day of driving. We had two rooms and three dogs. She made sure our rooms were all the way at the end and next to each other. That made everything easier for us. She even called to see if we needed anything after we got checked in. She had little packets of cookies for our dogs and told us where there was a good park, right around the corner, to walk them. The room was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. I liked that it had laminate floors. There were no pet odors at all. We had a vehicle and a giant u-haul pulling a trailer. We had no trouble parking and the area seemed safe. We had no problems. The lady that did breakfast on Sunday was atrocious. My husband said good morning to her and she just snarled and grunted. There was a construction worker that had been staying there and told him she was there last week too and treated them all the same way. The breakfast was almost cold and she didn’t even put out the waffle mix. It’s a shame to have a dark cloud in an otherwise really great environment. The area was really nice. There were plenty of food options and the park we walked to was lovely. We chose the place because it allowed dogs. We would stay there again even if the dogs weren’t traveling with us. Thank you Pam for starting our trip off in such a lovely way."

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."

Quiet charming 3-bedroom house in central Cortez with WiFi and central air.

10/10 Excellent

"It had a large living room. The owner allowed us to bring family to the house to play games and visit. I appreciate the space for our visit. The house was clean and had good pans and dishes so we could provide for my uncles, aunts, and cousins that stopped by. I would recommend to make the stairs a little lower for older guests to enter easier."
