Perfect spot to have access to multiple tours in one day. I did the Cliff Palace tour at 10:30 and drove back to the lodge for lunch and had plenty of time to do the Balcony House tour at 2:30.

Liked: Cleanliness
The Far View Lodge is the only hotel within the national park. The rooms are simple but clean with a picture window and small balcony looking out over the expanse of the high Mesa. The rooms are in five or six separate buildings and you can park right in front of your door. The lodge has a very nice restaurant and bar with spectacular sunset views. It is also 14 miles inside the park so very convenient for an early start for excursions.

Very good location in the park. It’s definitely more “cabin-like” and basic. It was nice to have the restaurant there with incredible views and good food. The room rate was very affordable.
