The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodations were clean and updated. It was a quiet location. The location made it easy to walk around Helen, Georgia. The only negative was the lack of selection for breakfast.

We stayed two nights on a vacation trip. Overall a good deal. The premises a bit rundown but the room was excellent, clean. The salt water outdoor pool was small but nice, the breakfast mediocre even for a continental one.

Unfortunately we could not stay here, I had to take my family down the street to a different hotel. The room was damp feeling, mildew smell and stains all over the e bed and couch. I walked in the room and turned around and walked right back out. Couldn’t do it. I do not recommend, I was not eligible for a refund so I paid for two rooms that night. If your staying in Helen, GA just book a room at the Holiday Inn Express.
