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.

We love the location of this property. We walk back and forth to Leavenworth every day. It is quiet, the breakfast is very hearty and hot. The only down side is that the beds are really hard and the rooms are small with no comfortable place to sit. The small decks are nice and have a small table on them. That would be great in good weather. We will come back as it is a good value and we love the location.

It could have been better

Pros: *Quiet *Clean room & bath *Nicely remodeled *Good breakfast Cons: *Uncomfortable foam mattress, hip area indented deeply and sinks too far *No door/door frame gaskets allows hallway noise too much *Hotel staffs do not greet guests *It might be a little too far to walk 20 minutes in 15 degree weather to the main attraction of the town for some falks to avoid $4.50 an hour city parking fee.

This was my first time in Leavenworth, WA. I've only lived in the state for about a year and a half. My experience....I would go back again, and again, every year. The Blue Elk is located down a dead end street, so you have quite for the night hours. I didn't use my car a single time during my stay. I pulled into the Blue Elk parking lot, And did t move it until checkout. Driving was not necessary. You are at most a 20 minute walk from the village if you walk VERY slow. The Sauna requires a reservation, so keep that in mind. Book that before your trip or right when you get there. They only will do 3o minutes at a time. So try to get in early and book an hour. Absolutely worth it. The breakfast was incredible by hotel standards. I'm used to the traditional "Continental breakfast." This was NOT that. Fresh scrambled eggs, hot and fresh tortillas, refried beans, chorizo (crumbles style) salsa Verde which was absolutely homemade, fresh fruit.... absolutely delicious, and I was full until about 2 pm. Tip these people. There is a tip jar, and they earned every penny. So yourself a favor. Stay at the Blue Elk Inn. Masters of their craft

Blue elk in was great and had the amentities we need while keeping the small inn feel. Our room was huge and easily accomodated our family of 4 plus our crazy dog. We loved it being quiet and out of the downtown rush but an easy walk into town. Take the path through the park- it's beautiful!

Rude reception, heavy footsteps.

The reception we got on our arrival evening was rather rude for the young lady who apparently was trying to go through the motions of her job. The rest of the stay was rather forgettable as our 2 rooms were booked on SEPARATE FLOORS. In addition we were routinely interrupted by the heavy feet of the guests above our room on the 2nd floor. The staff were courteous the rest of our stay including the person who received us on our arrival .
