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.

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.
