We took a risk by arriving in Leavenworth in July without a hotel reservation but I had the feeling that tourism isn't what it used to be. As soon as we arrived in the town, we set about looking for a place to rest our heads for the night. Originally, we had planned to stay here for three nights, but that would change.
We had hoped to stay where we did last time, at the Blackbird Inn. We liked it for the simple decor, the balcony overlooking Blackbird Island and the breakfasts that were delivered to the room in the morning. Unfortunately it has since turned into a time-share.
So we settled on Pension Anna just a couple of blocks away. The price was more than I wanted to pay but the people were friendly, rooms looked clean and breakfasts were included. I really should have got a photo of the staff who were all decked out in dirndls and lederhosen.
(I'm told the sign below, which was on our door, means 'Welcome - come on in.')
Pension Anna
Breakfast room. Although the inn is a little B&B-like, you can eat at a table for two. I can't remember exactly what was available for breakfast but I think there were cold meats, cheeses, buns and other baked goods. The owner made us hard-boiled eggs which came with little chicken covers, reminding me of my favourite felt chicken that I slept with when I was little.
Cabinet in hallway.
Our room. The owner told us this room had the most expensive furniture. It was only available for one night though; the next day we would have to move to another. It was quiet and comfortable enough. What it lacked were two things important to me: a view and really good plumbing. 
This church next door, formerly St. Joseph Catholic Church, actually belongs to and is part of the inn.
