Top Knife Edge Trail Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Cortez

8/10 Good

"1"

Super 8 by Wyndham Cortez/Mesa Verde Area

8/10 Good

"When I checked in, the person at the desk was very helpful and even helped me take my luggage to my room door. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness!"

Cortez RV Resort

8/10 Good

"It is a camping cabin. No frills. Pool was closed as it was end of season. Place was clean but don't expect room service! Haha. My only complaint was that there are fire pits in rather dark places. Have to be careful in the dark. Otherwise it was just what I expected. When my plans changed,the Manager was very helpful and I was able to cancel the rest of my stay with no problems."

Suburban Studios near Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"The woman at the front desk was super nice! She helped me with some documents I needed printed, and checked to see how we liked our room. The bed was very comfortable, the room was quiet and the black out blinds worked great. I would stay again the next time we go through Cortez."

Cozy 1-bedroom studio in lovely Mancos with AC and Heat

10/10 Excellent

"Little rural studio. A little cold, but the a/c warmed it up. The roll up door is a cool feature."

Holiday Inn Express Mesa Verde-Cortez by IHG

8/10 Good

"The coffee machines at breakfast were a bottle neck and the breakfast was cold the first day. The rooms were clean and nice. They were quiet and comfortable except for the bedspread which seemed to get tangled up easily because it was so thin. It was close to our destination of Mesa Verde so we would stay again."

Econo Lodge Cortez near Mesa Verde

8/10 Good

"Nice older hotel fairly well kept. Clean and quiet. Super location. Could use new carpet or flooring. All else good. Good breakfast."

National 9 Inn Sand Canyon

8/10 Good

"The property was obviously older and in need of some upgrade work However, the mgt and/or staff "seemed" to be trying hard to improve things. Also he drove down from an offsite location to do a late check-in for us. All the amenities were functional, the main thing I observed was subpar cleanliness of some items (towels, bedding, etc.). I'm guessing either they are having trouble obtaining sufficient staff, or perhaps the manager is trying to do the work alone. So couldn't call it my "first choice" for staying in Cortez, but it was there when we needed it (and didn't have to fight with elevators or long flights of stairs, which is very difficult for my spouse to deal with)."

Cozy Swiss chalet with dazzling views 10 minutes from Mesa Verde National Park.

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful spot. Great for access to the park. Torin provided tons of useful information. Clean and extremely well equipped. Mattresses are rather firm, and stair treads are a bit shallow for my size 14 feet, but we would definitely stay again."
