The hotel location near town and right by the river was great. The hotel is old and pretty shabby. Front desk help was apathetic (except guy on last day of our stay). Housekeeping was friendly and helpful but only clean rooms by special arrangement. Breakfast was prepackaged and unappealing. COVID should no longer be used as an excuse for bad service and poor quality. I would stay here again but it definitely doesn't deserve a 9 out of 10 rating as indicated on Expedia site

Nice facility, friendly staff, clean and well maintained. The beds were excellent and there was plenty of hot water. The only negatives were that the "indoor pool" was outside of the hotel in an enclosed greenhouse type structure, so you froze going from the room to pool and back. Otherwise, no complaints and I would definitely stay at this facility on my next visit to Helen.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very cute from the outside (aside from messy construction). The room, however, was not as expected. There were holes in the ceiling, lifted tiles in the bathroom area (incredibly hazardous for injury), and the shower still had garbage in it from the previous occupants. Staff was also not the friendliest or most welcoming. I would recommend others to stay somewhere else
