A little dissappointed.
The price was a little high, as are all prices in Helen. Room was generally clean but bathroom could use a refresh. The sink was a standard bathroom resin sink that had worn through the hard coating. Had been repaired with paint and looked terrible. The tub had loads of mould & mildew in the grout lines. I forgot to request a first floor room at booking and hotel could not accommodate request at check-in. Web page says "free breakfast" which turned out to be a very modest continental breakfast. On the plus side, the location was good and the staff was cheerful and helpful. Will probably not go back to Helen.

The place was very good for the price. The indoor pool room was a fascination for my 7yr old son. The only thing is the handicappped room had a metal projection from the side of the bed that hurt my foot so bad the night of our stay that I had to lay down. I spoke with a repair man passing as we left and he said he would take care of it. Otherwise nice stay.

We evacuated from Hurricane Milton with my elderly parents. When we arrived we were told that our rooms were on the second floor and that there was no elevator. Other rooms sold out. I barely got my mother up the stairs, and this meant she didn't want to go back out until we checked out and helped her back down. Additionally, we found the tubs/showers in both rooms to be extremely slippery. There was one grab bar on the outside of the tub, but nothing on the inside to grab for safety. I have never made reservations at a hotel that was so inaccessible, without a warning of no elevator. I usually do not request handicapped accessible rooms because we do not want to take a room from someone in a wheelchair, who absolutely cannot get up the stairs. The surrounding area was adorable, but I would choose a more handicapped-friendly hotel.
