"Nice family hotel close to town. Starting to show some age perhaps but the amazing breakfast and nice pool area makes up for a lot. Romantic couple getaway? Probably not the best choice. Family with kids? Perfect!"
"We stay here at least once a year and love The Blue Elk. Actually, we haven’t stayed anywhere else in Leavenworth in over seven years. Every employee we have engaged with is extremely nice, courteous, and professional. The breakfast is always delicious."
