Great place to stay!
Great location and definitely will stay again. Walking distance to just about everything. No elevator but the stairs weren’t too bad. We were on the 3rd floor over looking the little river with a balcony! Just remember to get/bring towels to the pool they don’t have any there. Parking was great also, we have a truck and sometimes parking is a problem.

Great location next to the river and walking distance to everything in Helen. As some have noted, it's not a new hotel, but it is clean, cozy and quaint with friendly staff.

Okay
Great location and room was clean. Great river views. The staff was friendly. The exterior could use some TLC. Rooms need hotel locks (top latch) on the doors.

Helen first timers
The location is perfect. We parked the car upon arrival on Sunday and didn’t move until departure on Wednesday. We chose riverfront and greatly enjoyed the river sounds and breeze. We enjoyed our first trip to Helen. The continental breakfast is very basic ( microwave products ) but the stay was great and location perfect. Once we checked out we went to Unicoi and Anna Ruby falls.

Very cute room! Loved how central it was to everything without being right in the middle of town so it wasn't to noisy either.
