Disliked: Amenities
It was clean and staff was friendly but this was very bare bones. This was a pretty basic hotel room except for the big tub, which we didn't even end up using. Felt it was seriously overpriced for the quality/value. After tax it was over $200. It was on par with hotels I've stayed at for half that price. Would not stay again.

Great place to stay when visiting Helen! It's walking distance from the main attractions - we didn't have to get in our car from the time we arrived until we left. The room was great - very comfortable and spacious, and a relaxing hot tub as well. Only mild criticism - the breakfast doesn't include any hot options, with the exception of pre-packaged sausage biscuits which you warm in the microwave. Even something like fresh waffles would be an improvement there. But we were very happy there, and will stay there again if we return to Helen.
