The room was clean but was in need of maintenance. The sink was clogged and drained very slowly and the toilet ran. Other than that, I had no issues.

It was an okay stay. Nothing to really brag about. The checking in process is a little odd. There is about 20 steps leading up to the check-in lobby area. There is also an elevator underneath the building in the parking garage which is more for Diamond Elite Members. Have to ring bell for staff members as they are in the back. Staff members ere not outgoing/friendly when checking in. Check out staff member was much better. The breakfast was good for a hotel breakfast. Didn’t have any boiled eggs while I was there. The beds were comfortable, but take your own pillow. The pillows look fluffy but go flat when you put your head on them.

The staff was fantastic. I had to have the property upgrade me as I booked a balcony room and was out in a regular room. They were more than accommodating. The cleaning staff really needs to do better. The toilet was dirty, old paper and can’t wrappers underneath the foot rest under the table. Cigarette butts all over the balcony railing. I understand the hotel is old but some upgrades need to be made. Utilities doors should be shut during the day so guests don’t have to see the dirty linens and messy rooms the staff uses. The staff literally made this stay worth it for us!

A hidden gem, as with just about all the buildings in Helen Georgia it looks old from outside. Inside our room was incredible. Clean, modern, comfortable and great breakfast. All the staff were very friendly especially the front desk.

Someone from corporate needs to spend some time at this location. The carpet, halls, stairways, elevator, front lobby and outside of the building need a thorough cleaning or in some cases just need to be updated. The breakfast was good and the staff worked hard to keep that area clean and well stocked. .

Needs an update, good
This hotel, like many of the hotels in Helen, needs an updating. Doesn’t feel like a Hilton, except the pillows, the pillows are always a treat. The washing/drying machines need to be replaced, they should be $1 instead of $2 for their condition and slow results. The rooms should be checked for freshness before guests are allowed in because all our linens smelled damp and old like a thrift store. The carpet could be replaced too. Bring your slippers of course. The staff was polite and they replaced our blanket when we called and asked, I personally washed our pillow cases but could e asked for fresh ones, the staff was accommodating. The breakfast was good, they let you borrow pool towels. The walk to the creek is wonderful! The kids can splash in the water and watch the tubers go by. The location is very walkable and we felt safe.
