8/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
If you were looking for a totally remote location to get away from everything, cell service, Internet, other people, this is it! There is a convenient ice machine located with every pod of rooms but no where to get a “coke”, Although beer is plentiful at The Terrace. Besides that there is nothing but quiet And nothing to do except hike The Mesa Verde trails. The food at the terrace, basically fills the hole, is self-service, and whatever they make for the day is all they will make, first come first serve. The dining at the main registration building is unremarkable. *** If you’re going to hike Cliff Palace, or several others, remember to sign up for your tour tickets two weeks in advance because they are always sold out.
