Not like any Hilton/Hampton I’ve been to. It was under renovations, but our room was “finished” Ugly carpet and poor renovation. No bathroom fans. Thought it was broken, but was told it’s ventilation and no fans. The poop smells and shower humidity lingered. Bring toilet spray if you have a teenage boy lol. The room was really spacious! The doors don’t shut. Just won’t be back, had an icky motel 6 vibe.

Great results soon.

Hotel was going through a needed remodel. Nothing was inconvenient , but some area's were in a understandable and necessary mess. No problems , just need patience and understanding for good results. We had a really good view from our room of the river.

Had a room on the first floor sadly with renovations starting early in the morning. Tapping, workers talking, glue smell was a great way to wake up. Please if you’re renovating on the first floor try not to put guests on the first floor.

When we went to the pool, we had to clean a lot of leaves from the water. The pool deck also had a lot of leaves. I know that may sound trivial but it was kind of a big deal for us. Otherwise, the place was good. We have stayed there twice and will probably come back next summer.

Great location in the heart of Helen. It’s within easy walking distance to the shopping and so many great restaurants. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They even texted us 30 minutes after we checked in to make sure everything was okay with our room.
Balcony for our room with a view of the pool & river.
A very good German restaurant nearby.

The location was great. The staff very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the walls are not very sound proof between rooms. I could hear next door conversations and was awaken at 2am by neighbors room party.
