We enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for something new and updated this is not the place. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The staff was excellent. About a 5 minute walk to downtown Helen. If we ever come back up this way, I would definitely stay here again.

Staff were wonderful. Breakfast is nice. Not a warm breakfast but grab and go items that are more than enough to get your day started. The facility is very clean but just simply old. The bed gets a zero star and we woke up with back aches each day. So it’s nice to have the great staff. Just needs updates and most definitely new beds.

Pros: This is a perfect location for an affordable stay in Helen. Walkable in all directions to anything you want to do. The room was clean, beds comfortable. The staff was great. The continental breakfast was great. Cons: the lighting in the bathroom sink area is very, very dim. There is no full length mirror. So getting ready for your day is a challenge. We ended up with a room that was an adjoining room. The first two nights no one was in the other room, but night three a man with a cough condition stayed and it sounded like he was in the room with us. So keep that in mind for privacy and comfort. Not good sound buffer between rooms.

I didn’t spend a lot of time at the property. It seemed clean and nice. It would have been nice to know that the breakfast didn’t include anything hot.

This hotel is in major need of an upgrade. The pictures online are quite deceiving. I was thankful we were only staying for a night, for had this been part of a longer trip I would have changed my reservations to someplace else.

This hotel is in the perfect location. Operated by locals with very friendly staff. Even had large, name brand shampoo, body wash, conditioner, lotion and hand wash for your use. My wife was ecstatic. Will be staying again. It's an older hotel but upgraded. The newer hotels are not located near everything.
