Worst place to stay-ever!!!!

This unit is extremely old. The king mattress feels completely broken, literally had to lay in the middle of the bed or I slid off. The other bedroom mattress squeaks anytime you turn over. In addition to terrible beds there is no way to make it dark in the rooms. The master has 2 pieces of curtains with a white sheer middle, lights blare through so it is not dark at all!! Other bedroom has 1980’s blinds that are light colored and again, it’s extremely bright in the bedroom. The walls are so thin I could literally hear people sneezing, urinating, you name it. Upon entering unit we made drinks and had food out, we stepped away and the globe on kitchen ceiling fan it feel off and busted everywhere, including the counter and in our drinks and food. The whole fan was wobbling. We reported this, we cleaned glass up and went to the deck but it was covered in bird poop, absolutely disgusting!!! We could not enjoy it sit out there and this is half the reason I rented it, for the view!!! There is no way this was cleaned upon our arrival, it was absolutely disgusting. This unit is outdated, it is clearly not owned by anyone, it’s hap hazardly decorated. Do not stay here, it’s not worth it whatsoever.

Updated and spacious. Great view of the river with several deck options. The sofa bed has a very thin and stained mattress. Could use a washable mattress pad. Other beds were comfortable Definitely walkable to Helen’s attractions and the park.Easy walk to tubing and mini golf.

Previous stay

We arrived to the property with no direction on how to get to the unit. Once we entered we found that the floor in the unit to be sticky, we had to clean all the floors. Doors in the unit were broken, held to gether by drywall screws. All the doors in the bedroom areas did not close, saftey concern if you have small children.

It was a great location! In the middle of everything. It was right on the river but we couldn’t sit out on the balcony and enjoy it. It was very dirty mostly with bird mess everywhere that had not been cleaned in a long time.

Not good!

We arrived at 7 pm at night on a Friday, and there was a broken plumbing pipe in the building, and no water. We were told it would take a couple of hours to repair. Well, 1 pm the next day arrived and still no water. Communication was horrible. Waiting for updates since early morning and the local staff was no where to be found. We were supposed to check out on Monday, and had to leave the property and rent another location since I was not even offered a different place to move to with my family and kids.

The only thing we didn't like was that we couldn't go out on the patio because of all the pigeon poop. Everything else was great. 5-10 minute walk to the center of town.

Great location, large space

When we pulled up the building looked abandoned. All the buildings in the area looked abandoned except the major chain hotels. That being said the apartment was fairly nice. It was very spacious. It had 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. We only needed 1 so there was more then enough room. All the condos in the building look like they were converted hotel rooms. There are 3 doors that say 502 which you can use. The code for the door to enter is on the main door. The bed was actually pretty comfortable, even though it isn't newer. It was very clean but dated. Everything looks worn down, but as I said clean. The location is great. We were stopping through for Oktoberfest and we were able to walk to all locations. We stopped at a few wineries and took in a hike. The area is beautiful. It was too cold but your right down the street from 2 tubing companies. So overall was a good stay.

Lovely... but the ants

There is SERIOUS ant problem, no food can be in the house without the whole kitchen getting swarmed. The property is lovely and looks as listed, could maybe use some Renovation. The floor was water damaged.

Plenty of space for 2 adults. Clean. Older property; late 80s, early 90s. There was floor damage in the kitchen. Small deck that pigeons seemed to enjoy. The location is nice and we were able to walk to all the shops and restaurants.

Ok stay , cleaning fee needs to be looked at

We did not mind that the property was dated , that is part of Helens charm.......what I did mind is there was remnants from the previous guest in one of the toilets when we got there and the drain in the master shower had to be cleared of hair before we could shower so the water would go down. I hope the owner looks into the cleaning service they use ..

Feedback

Hi! We really enjoyed out time in Helen and loved the fact everything is within walking distance. Only feedback is that the comon area was filthy, trash bags full of trash (appears to be from multiple previous guest) everywhere, cigarette bud's, Qtips and bottles caps, etc. This unit could have been cleaner, bit know there's always opportunities for improvement depending on turn and time of year ( I totally get that). Property Manager was super sweet!
