We had a great time in Helen. The cabins are so close to everything we parked our car and didn’t have to drive again until we left. There are more things we wanted to do but we ran out of time. If you like shop people watch and drink beer this is a great place to visit.

Overpriced and Old

Hotel is older, dirty and overpriced for the condition and facilities provided. The pictures online are deceiving, there is no kitchen in the rooms.

Best location

We love this motel. It great for a one night getaway. The rooms are updated, beds are comfortable and there is a lite breakfast in the lobby. Sits on the river, beautiful views, two block walk to restaurants, shops and bars.

Anniversary Stay.

Our room had an amazing view of the hillside and the river. During the winter it does take approx. 15mins for the hot shower water to heat up. Most or all shops and diners were within walking distance. Was an amazing stay for our Anniversary.
