Had trouble getting into our room had the front desk have to come try and she struggled to open the door. Once in the Reserved patio room there was extremely loud road construction that went until after 11pm. So we weren't able to use the patio because the multiple pieces of equipment being run 30ft away from our door. We understand this was not work being done at the hotel but wasn't mentioned or dealt with in anyway from the hotel. Room was updated but thin walled. Tv was hard to run and was unable to connect phone to the tv using all screen sharing apps on tv. Bed was the best part of the trip, it was extremely comfy. Breakfast was limited but it seemed like they rotated daily the main course. Main course wasn't great but it was something ended up having to go into town for breakfast every morning. Also seemed restrictive had to have a key to access lobby after 9 and had to schedule use of saunas. Also location is not ideal for walking Leavenworth. Was pretty disappointed in this site.

Beautiful place

I stayed for one night and had a very good experience overall. The room was really clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great, with a nice selection of juices, fruits, eggs, and coffee. Since the day was very hot, we also enjoyed spending some time at the pool, which was a perfect addition. The only downside was the noise coming from the room above us. The person upstairs had a heavy walk, which made it difficult to fall asleep. I think staying on the top floor would have made the experience even better. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the place was well kept.
