The staff was so helpful with our large group including my wheelchair-bound child. They made sure we had parking available to get him in and out of the car. The room was plenty big enough for all 6 of us and clean. Location of the hotel was so convenient for all of us to get around Helen without having to use the car at all. Breakfast options at the hotel are the main part of any of my negative review. But Betty’s is next door and has great options.

Don't like new parking policy.

We had a nice stay here however we did not like getting charged $5 a day for parking. The point of staying at a hotel in the downtown area is so you don't have to pay for parking. I could have reserved a room at a cheaper hotel on the other side of town and paid for parking on my own.

Pros: location was convenient to the main areas of Helen. Main part of our room was nice- new carpet, nice large TV and stand. Three beds and a sofa which gave my family plenty if room for sleeping and the room was large so we could spread out. Cons: bathroom was tiny, shower was tiny (maybe 32” x 32”), large gaps around the door so you could see through them, paint was all over things that shouldn’t be painted (I’d hire a new painter), no place to hang clothes, breakfast was very limited with the only thing hot being waffles or pre-packed oatmeal (by adding hot water). Overall, the stay was ok but definitely not exceptional.
