The staff was friendly, and the rooms were spacious. I missed the breakfast but the Far View Terrace had decent food, and the entire complex reminded me of a sci-fi outpost. I'd definitely stay there again if I return to Mesa Verde.

We had a nice and clean room with an amazing view of Mesa Verde. I would definitely pay the extra money for the convenience of already being in the park versus the 45 minute drive if you stay in one of the nearby towns.
