Decent place for the price. Looks updated and modern. It was quiet during our visit and is close to everything in Helen. Our room had a very spacious fridge which is great for those who plan to stay more than one night. I would stay again.

This was a good cheap room. It was clean and comfortable. The only issue we had was the mattress was still wrapped in plastic. This made for a really hot bed to sleep in. The staff gave us extra blankets which helped create a better barrier and made it more comfortable.

First of all, I stayed in Room 112. I had a hard time getting in the door. At first, I thought it was locked from the inside but after a few attempts, I had to kick it open. I didn't mention it to the staff since I learned the trick to open the door. The coffee and cinnamon buns and pastries were good and substantial enough to get me through til lunch. I also didn't really like the staff smoking inside the front desk area as I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. The only other issue I had was the dirty floor in my room. I wouldn't have known it was dirty but I like to walk around barefoot sometimes and I noticed my feet were getting dirty. All the issues I had were very minor and far outweighed the nice, neat room I had. I thought the bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the plastic wrapped mattress so I didn't have to worry about any bed bugs. I took my own pillows but the pillows they provided were varied and worked very well. The sheets were clean, crisp and I loved them. There was a small refrigerator and a microwave in the room which I can't remember if those two things were noted in the website description and I was very happy to have them. Overall, I was very happy with my room and the convenient location -- it was five minutes from downtown. I would definitely stay in the same motel the next time I went to Helen. I loved my trip and had a lot of fun, even rode the train down Main Street. I'm 71 and enjoyed the train ride very much!!!
