The hotel is on the older side; thin walls and creaky floors but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The location is very convenient. It is walking distance to pretty much everything that downtown Helen had to offer. We definitely wouldn’t mind staying here again!

It was perfect! The property has the best location and the staff was amazing. The only thing we didn’t like was that our room neighbors smoked the whole day and the room smelled horrible. Other than that we had a great time staying there.
