We had a room with a balcony, the view with the river was awesome. Walking down to the table with chairs to watch the river flow was really nice. Walking distance to town was really good.

Great stay in downtown Helen

The hotel is styled with the German Alpine theme throughout Helen. It is in the downtown district with restaurants and shops. I would want to stay here for the convenience of getting around and the clean comfortable room again.

Great location, awesome staff!

The staff is friendly and attentive. They allowed us to check in early so we could get the whole day of arrival around town without having to worry about leaving our luggage in the car. Clean room and centrally located. It is an older building and it shows, but it was clean and exactly what we needed.
