Inside the park!

If you go to National Parks frequently, you understand that staying inside the park cuts down so much time! From the entrance to the roads that lead to the dwellings, is a solid 30+ minute drive. The hotel had two dining options and a great little gaming area my kids enjoyed playing board games. We enjoyed our room, and loved looking at the stars in the evening. A great stay.

COMPLETE FAILURE: Arrived at check-in, only to be told by the hotel that they had cancelled our booking - still not found any prior notice from them. Probably the hotel over-booking and trying to get more like an airline? Well legally they may be entitled to do that (who knows?). But it does mean that deserve a zero mark. Not sure I can do that so a (very reluctant) one star.

Our room definitely needed some repairs. The shower door had to be lifted just so it would shut. The refrigerator was leaking water. The worse thing was my husband and I saw a mouse run across the room. After that we left the room went to the front desk. They offered us a different room but couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be another mouse,said it was that time of the year. We choose not to stay at the Lodge that night.We were refunded. The staff member said they had started renovating some of the rooms hopefully they do all of them We did eat supper at there lounge .They food was very good.

I love the National Parks, and so wish I could give this property a good rating. There were a couple of good things about our stay. One, we had a great dinner at the lodge restaurant. Two, it was very convenient to be able to stay in the park. However, our night’s stay was pretty awful—due to mice in our room. I spoke with another guest in the parking lot who also had a terrible night because of mice in their room. When I spoke to the front desk about it in the morning,, they weren’t apologetic at all—said yea, every National Park property has mice, squirrels or raccoons. What?? You should warn your guests to leave all food in their cars then, and work on getting rid ot the mice! It’s hard to beat the convenience ot staying in the park, but customers should know what they’re getting into!

The hotel was fine but the room is a little small with only a few hooks to hang clothes. We ended up staying only one of two nights. The staff was kind and helpful

The location is incredibly beautiful. The views are stunning The bar had decent cocktails and food reasonably priced The room was a decent size but a bit basic. The shower was leaking, the coffee maker temperamental. The balcony however, with the amazing views, very happy we stayed.

Sadly, the accommodations at Fairview Lodge have greatly deteriorated since my last visit 10 years ago. We did not get the deluxe Kiva, which we had reserved because it was closed for repairs. We were very disappointed, and the staff was kind and apologetic and also, gave us a discount. The beds were comfortable. Great cross breeze and ventilation with open windows. The towel bars are falling off the wall, and the faucets are also in need of being secured. There is no microwave but a small fridge and coffee pods. But being in Mesa Verde with the quiet, incredible beauty and unique surroundings, takes the edge off the disappointment in our accommodations! Expedia was negligent in contacting us about this change in our reservations.

We stayed here since it was the only hotel in the park and we wanted to have a longer park day. The room was clean and the view and balcony were great, but the noise was ridiculous. We could hear the people in the room next to us like they were in the room with us even when they were just talking at a normal volume. We realized this as soon as we walked in and asked if they could move us to a non-adjoining room or at least a room on the end but they couldn’t. The shower also didn’t have hot water for more than 30 seconds our first night there. We ate at the Far View Lounge one night and the service was incredibly slow, the food mediocre and overpriced.
