This is your typical older hotel. It’s not great to look at and the wear and tear is obvious. The lobby and breakfast area are a bit shabby. However, renovations were underway while we were there. All employees were very nice. The room was fine, bed was fairly comfortable. We ended up with a jacuzzi tub that needed deep clean but again that wasn’t a big deal. The thing that makes this hotel great is the ideal location. Not only is it walking distance to the shops and restaurants, but it is right on the river with a nice green space, picnic tables stairs right in to the water. Here you can watch the tubers all day and skip rocks in the evening. This hotel was perfect for my family although I do feel the price I was charged was a bit ridiculous, but I booked last minute so maybe that’s on me.

Amazing hotel! Now, this hotel is undergoing maintenance and the pool is also not open during the off season, but this was clear on the booking ahead of time. The location is perfect. You can walk right into Helen. It’s on the river. We had a beautiful view and even got to put our feet in the very cold Chatahoochie River. I highly recommend this hotel. We will be back again!

Birthday Getaway

One night getaway to celebrate a birthday. Loved the location, we could easily walk to the main area of Helen for shops, restaurants and the bakery. Our King Suite was fabulous, like a small apartment. Nice little area by the river at the back of the property. Really close to othe attractions like the castle, Unicoi State Park and Anna Ruby Falls. Property is being renovated so there were some noisy moments and buliding materials on the grounds, but we were aware of this before we stayed. Highly recommend. Would stay again!
