What guests think

Leavenworth Local Hotel offers a distinctive stay in a converted historic school, with spacious rooms, a central walkable location, convenient parking, and on-site recreation such as a gym, basketball court, and occasional theater or game spaces.

Noise from hallways or neighboring areas is mentioned repeatedly, and some rooms have no windows, which a few guests disliked. Cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent, with occasional reports of dirty rooms, bathroom odors, and maintenance issues such as leaks, heating problems, or faulty keycards. Service is often praised as friendly and responsive, though limited front desk hours sometimes hinder check-in, WiFi information, or after-hours help, and breakfast is minimal or absent. Expect a unique, central stay with character and a few trade-offs.

Room was standard hotel room for a higher price, loved the drink tokens, easy parking and access. Front desk staff was super nice and efficient. Just seemed a little pricey for a small room and the other guests were very noisy.

This is a unique and interesting hotel. It's a converted Catholic high school built in the early 1930s. The gym and auditorium are still here and used from time to time. They have roller skates you can check out some days to roller skate in the gym. At the front desk, they have some yearbooks and other very interesting books about the history of the school. Despite what it may say online, there is no "grab and go" breakfast, although they have coffee (Keurig) available around the clock at the desk. For an excellent breakfast in a great setting, The Depot is just a few blocks West.

I loved staying here, it is In the heart of old downtown. A little quirky and fun. Everything is new and clean. The hotel does not have an elevator due to the historic nature of the building, but there are rooms available with an access ramp.

Only one complaint. We should have asked for a room away from the desk and bar area. We heard people talking loudly until around midnight. Also we heard people outside our window. They must have been at the pickle ball court outside our window. Therefore, our night was rather restless

We appreciated the large room for our family of five (king bed, queen bed and sofa bed). Large but unusual room that had chalkboards along one wall. Nice kitchen area. Plenty of parking behind hotel. We were charged an amount on our credit card at check-in even though we had paid thru expedia (BUT this charge was removed from our credit card statement so maybe it was a damage deposit of some kind? idk) Breakfast offerings could be greatly improved - was just prepackaged muffins and cartons of OJ. But overall, the beds were comfortable & we could all stay together in one room so we'd stay again.

I already submitted my complaint. Hotel Staff was unprofessional.They did not know how to use their computer and lied about my refund and about emailing me as requested. Rooms smelled like sewage and rooms were not ada accessible and fire hazards. Rooms are located in a basement with only one way in and out. Staff acknowledged these concerns and verbalized that these have been issues that they are aware of.

When we checked in the first room we went to smelled horrible of smoke. I told the front desk and she gave us another room. When I got to the room my key opened the door and there was a man in the room which was startling and he said it was his room already. I went back to the desk and she gave us a third room that room smelled better but the floor was dirty and there was a window that the blind would not come down. Anyone in the building across from us could see in. The shower leaked from both sides onto the floor causing puddles and you could see where the wall was rotting away from water damage. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Hotels.com tried to get us a refund but no one answered at the hotel cause they were closed and no one was there for the holiday. It was a wasted money

Front desk staff were very nice. Room was clean and suited the purpose. Coffee pot had to be moved to use due to cord not being long enough to plug into outlet. Every noise in hallway and front desk echoed and magnified down the hall and into the room. Not the quietest or best place in Leavenworth but served its purpose and was clean.

Very cool building for a unique stay. I loved all of the fact boards that they posted throughout the hallways. I would say that the only negative was our room was next to a connecting room and you could hear the people in the other room pretty clearly.

Great concept of taking an old, existing building & repurposing it. We arrived just before the employee at the front desk was ready to leave. So, when we found that there was no blanket for the pull-out sofa, we were out of luck. We had to improvise. Other than that, it was pleasant. Just wish there had been breakfast.

Check in was easy on the website, but getting the key to the room was challenging. Thankfully someone was still at the front desk and finished our check in process and gave us our key. In the morning the coffee Keurig machines did not work. There was nothing for breakfast but yogurt and fruit. For the price of the room we did not receive the best amenity.

This hotel was unsafe, unstaffed, and smelled like garbage throughout the building. We contacted the property to ask for a refund since we were completely unable to stay in our room. They refused to provide one. Our family arrived on Christmas day to a hotel that was totally unstaffed. There wasn't even a phone number posted at the desk. We got into the room by downloading an app (guess it was a good thing we had a phone). Our room (which had no windows) had several problems. Loud water draining into a utility closet in our room constantly, a dishwasher that wouldn't stop beeping, neighbors blasting music, and open alcohol left in the fridge. I had to walk up and down the hallways (that smelled like trash) to find a phone number. I called the number about four times before it finally offered a voicemail. I left a voicemail explaining the issues. Our call was not returned. About 45 minutes later, we left the hotel. The front door to the hotel was completely open. No key access required. Anyone could have wandered in (this was at 10pm at night) and right past the unstaffed desk to go anywhere in the building.

This is the best hotel choice in Leavenworth! Clean, cool, pet friendly, good price, comfortable room and space, nice employees. The bathroom was beauitful, the bed and kitchen comfy and usable, the available coffee very handy. If you must stay at a hotel with the "free" breakfast (for almost twice the price), go for it. But for us The Leavenworth Local is the only place to stay!

Basic lodgings, for a good price, unique property, room kind of felt like a single occupancy dorm room, not sure it wasn't in its past, not a bad thing, had everything I needed. Breakfast was just basic grab bag items, there is a parking lot in back so don't feel like you need to park out front on the street.
