The Blue Elk Inn is close to the fun Adventure Park Roller Coaster which is fun to watch. The views from the hotel are spectacular. The breakfast area behind the hotel allows for quiet, intimate breakfast in a beautiful setting. We rented a small room. Electrical outlets for charging phones were not conveniently placed. The bed was comfortable. Room was comfortable, safe and felt private. My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the room.

We enjoyed the stay. Very quiet area at the end of Leavenworth, clean and cared for place. The only disadvange is the lack of insulation - but you live with that if you are lucky not to have noisy or loud neighbors. Still our experience was very good.
