Top Prater Ridge Trail Hotel Reviews

Far View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Ute Mountain Casino Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just stopped in to sleep during work travel."

Holiday Inn Express Mesa Verde-Cortez by IHG

8/10 Good

"A good stay but the hotel needs refreshing and an update. Breakfast was fair but adequate. Good location and a very good restaurant next door."

Retro Inn at Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Great wacky motel, super comfortable rooms with a fun theme."

Turquoise Inn and Suites Cortez near Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"We have been going to this property for years. It is being completely refurbished. Our suite was freshly painted, all new furniture, lighting, wall art, and wet bar. HVAC kept room comfortable and provided steady, pleasant white noise. It is a smoker friendly property (not all rooms). Looking forward to staying again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Cortez

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly. Beds comfortable, AC worked well. It is a no frills hotel but for one night it worked out well. Price was right, pool seemed nice although we did not use it many were. Breakfast is your normal hotel findings and great if you have children, personally not for me except some yogurt but nice they offer it."

Quality Inn near Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Very good, we would use again"

Turquoise Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Realmente estaba todo bien excepto por el baño, el toilet es muy pequeño y el lavamanos esta sumamente bajo, no tiene las medidas normales. Adicionalemnete podrian incluir proteinas en el desayuno que se ofrece en un area donde genelamente se va para practicar actividad fisica es importante encontrar algo de proteinas en el desayuno."

Mancos Inn

8/10 Good

"This was much more of a hostel vibe than a hotel. There is a large shared kitchen, which was great for refreezing my cooler packs and making a snack. Also had shared bathrooms. The town is very dark at night. I would suggest adding brighter nightlights in the halls and bathroom so you can see where you're going after dark. Bed was pretty soft for me and the comforter was a bit too thick for late summer, early fall. Caretakers were very nice and helpful. Overall, a nice place and very convenient for Mesa Verde."
