A hidden gem, as with just about all the buildings in Helen Georgia it looks old from outside. Inside our room was incredible. Clean, modern, comfortable and great breakfast. All the staff were very friendly especially the front desk.

Someone from corporate needs to spend some time at this location. The carpet, halls, stairways, elevator, front lobby and outside of the building need a thorough cleaning or in some cases just need to be updated. The breakfast was good and the staff worked hard to keep that area clean and well stocked. .

Needs an update, good
This hotel, like many of the hotels in Helen, needs an updating. Doesn’t feel like a Hilton, except the pillows, the pillows are always a treat. The washing/drying machines need to be replaced, they should be $1 instead of $2 for their condition and slow results. The rooms should be checked for freshness before guests are allowed in because all our linens smelled damp and old like a thrift store. The carpet could be replaced too. Bring your slippers of course. The staff was polite and they replaced our blanket when we called and asked, I personally washed our pillow cases but could e asked for fresh ones, the staff was accommodating. The breakfast was good, they let you borrow pool towels. The walk to the creek is wonderful! The kids can splash in the water and watch the tubers go by. The location is very walkable and we felt safe.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!! The “wonderful” rating is why I booked this location. And there is absolutely NOTHING wonderful about this property at all. First of all good luck even finding how to enter the building! Then when you find the elevator, it’s dark no lights inside the parking garage. Trash everywhere. Employees sitting next to elevator smoking, smells awful. Then you get in the elevator that you’ve been waiting 10min for because there is just 1. Used for guests and employees. It smells like death. And then just when you think it can’t get any worse the not so pleasent looking young man at the front desk, to whom also was BAREFOOT abruptly asked “CHECKING IN?!” Not one ounce of customer service in him. I booked 2 rooms, our rooms were not together but in the same floor. And this whole vacation was for my 13 year olds birthday. Then we made our way upstairs our room was on the 3rd floor. The smell of mold in the hallway was so strong. Right there I should have turned around and walked out right then. But no, my Son was loving being right on the River and there were no other hotel options available. Our room smelled like cigarettes. Floor was disgusting and your feet stuck to it. I had to lay towels down on the floor because I didn’t want to wear my shoes 24/7. The beds were like sleeping on plywood. Outdated furniture. No decor, bathroom mirror frame was stained with drip marks of some kind. The fridge didn’t work. Phone didn’t work, Horrible experience.
