Front desk staffs: very polite and helpful Room: it must have been recently remodeled. Look new, clean and nice. Location: I would say this is the best location in town. Walking distance to fancy restaurants, specialty stores and in town attractions. Easy parking. Next to the river. In the evening, I sat on the swing bench, listening to the river, watching the ducks, and also took a small walk along the river. Very relax. The hotel surprised me in every areas: the room quality, service, location, safeness. I would definitely book it again if we will visit Helen next time.

The fireplace was awesome. It was cold so it made for a comfy night. Loved the loft room and bathroom. They had all you needed in the cabinets for coffee and cooking. Really a good place to stay when you just want to shop and relax. Your pretty much downtown. But far enough away to get the quiet side of it.

Wonderful property and staff. We have came back twice and already planning our trip back for this Summer. Even when we had an issue like the batteries dying in the card reader they got us back in quickly and accommodated us. Highly recommend

Stay up in the mountains

Wow. What a trip! This hotel was well worth the price. Very comfortable and simply easy to get to. I could come back here every year. The bathroom is a little tight, the TV remote control was old and worn, and the toilet push buttons have seen better days. Updated as the toilet was, the life in the flush buttons was fading fast. Overall, our room was very above average.
