The Blue Elk was so quiet and clean. The breakfast was lovely. We very much enjoyed the walk into town through the Enchantment Park for excellent dining. Although this is a dog friendly hotel, we did not see any dogs. The grounds were immaculate and there were comfortable seating areas outside.

Our trip to Leavenworth was on a whim on our way home from Spokane. We had been to Leavenworth one other time and had a great experience but the hotel didn’t have much personality. The Blue Elk Inn was just the opposite. The property was great, we were allowed to check in early and the room was awesome with a view looking towards the mountains. The hotel is about a mile from the shops but that also translated to being quiet and a great excuse to get a walk in. The breakfast the next morning was very good and overall the experience was a 10. We can’t wait to visit this hotel again.

Staff was outstanding. Our room was very clean and so was the lobby. We were very comfortable and loved staying just outside of downtown. We used the bikes the hotel offered and rode 6 mins into town. It was lovely and the breakfast each day was different and delish. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit Leavenworth.
