Friendly staff, clean rooms and common areas. Pool was closed (March 1st) small hot tub but unexpected saunas you could book complimentary for 30 or 60 minutes. Very lovely!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the Blue Elk Inn. We walked from the Inn into town every day- very walkable! The bed was very comfortable! The breakfast was tasty! We would definitely stay there again!
Been here a few times, we love it. The staff is great, free breakfast is great and it’s close to the roller coaster rides. Only thing we hate is they close the hot tub too early. Otherwise it’s 10/10.
The Blue Elk Inn Is a wonderful place to stay.
The good:
The room was clean and very pleasant. The bed was very comfortable. The place was very quiet and didn’t hear any noise from the neighbors except from the hallway. The view of the mountains was spectacular. It was an easy 15 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. The breakfast food was delicious.
There were only two minor things that could be improved:
The in room gas fireplace could be turned up a bit higher. There wasn’t very much flame when turned on
And the vanity light above the sink was a bit dim.
This was a great place and we would definitely consider staying here again.
Loved our stay! Room was nice and spacious, hot breakfast was a highlight!
Would be 5 stars if the hot tub was functioning during our stay. I specifically booked this place because of the hot tub, and was really bummed that it wasn’t functioning until our last day. Staff didn’t offer any sort of discount either.
It was wonderful. Not just dog tolerant. Truly dog friendly! The two saunas were great and being able to reserve them for half-hour blocks made it really nice. Courteous staff. The best breakfast I’ve had at a hotel in years!
The staff is very friendly, we had problems but the staff came out to meet us. The hotel itself is very beautiful inside, the location is also very cool. We are looking forward to visiting you again, thank you!)
I returned to Blue Elk with family and friends after spending the New Year and having a great stay in one of their suites. This time we chose a smaller room as we only stayed for one night (room 211). Everything was great as the first time, except for the VERY noisy A/C device. It felt like you had your grannie's old truck running next to your bed. It also needs some fixing on the thermostat, as even though it was set to 68 degrees for the night, we felt like being in a sauna. Only the morning after we understood why the previous guest had left the window slightly open. They surely felt the excessive heat not matching what the A/C display showed. Breakfast was good overall with burritos and miniburgers and coupled with fresh fruit, yogurt and fresh coffee. Very walkable to the rest of the town if you are not a lazy slob (20 min walk to the main plaza) or are afraid of cold weather in the winter. Will surely return again as overall this is a very pretty hotel with a good rates and clean rooms without that old carpet smell you get on other hotels in town.
It was suppose to be an unplanned stop for our hockey trip but turned out to be our best part of the trip. Beautiful hotel with comfortable bed.
I will recommend Blue Elk to any friend traveling to Leavenworth
