"Right in the heart of the little Germantown of Helen. Very well maintained for an older property beautiful pool rooms were very clean. My only can play it would be that the room smelled a bit musty... They were extremely accommodating and the breakfast was great!"
"For the price point this motel was excellent. The rooms were clean, spacious, and the property itself was well kept. It's close to everything you'll want to do in Helen, GA. We expected the breakfast to be only cold items, but were pleasantly surprised by the waffle maker. The kids loved the pool in the evenings after site-seeing. Overall, we'd happily stay here again when we visit Helen, GA."
"The location to the main strip downtown was wonderful. Easily walkable. Our room was spacious and the balcony facing the river was exactly what we hoped for. Outdoor pool along the riverside was well maintained. Best of all is the private park area with direct access to the river, benches, and a porch swing. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of items to choose from. The gal who checked us in was extremely friendly and quite funny which was an unexpected plus! Highly recommend this property!"
