The check-in/check-out process was flawless. The staff was very friendly and offered us fresh-baked cookies upon arrival. It is very conveniently located to EVERYTHING in Helen being just a block on the main street. The river runs right through the back of the property and is accessible from the pool area.

The Hotel was on the edge of town, but was in reasonable walking distance to many attractions, shops, and restaurants. It is beside the river so there isn't a ground floor and there is only one elevator, so please be patient. The staff was helpful, breakfast bar was good, and it has access to the river and a pool.

Super friendly staff with great recommendations. The property feels a bit dated but overall it's kept very nicely and is comfortable and relaxing. Walking distance to all the fun shops and restaurants but far enough away that you can enjoy the peace and quiet. The river area is gorgeous too!
