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!
