Pros
Direct access to Chattahoochee River
Walking distance to downtown Helen shops and restaurants
Free onsite parking and WiFi in public areas
Rooms feature river views
Cons
Seasonal pool not available year-round
Limited dining options within the hotel
“Honestly, based on what I've seen, this property struggles to deliver on basic expectations; some rooms facing the river might offer a sliver of redemption, but widespread reports point to significant disrepair and cleanliness issues. The included breakfast seems underwhelming at best, and stories of unhelpful staff further compound concerns. Considering the going rates, I'd suggest exploring other options in Helen.”
