The young lady that checked us in, Katherine was gracious, friendly and made sure all amenities advertised were available to us. The motel was very clean, comfortable and quiet as it was off the main road but close enough to easily walk to shops and restaurants.

The location next to the river and within walking distance of the downtown area is perfect. The cabins need a little work, but they are spacious and have everything you need. We had some trouble with the hot water, but the staff were attentive and courteous, especially Osvaldo. We will definitely go back.

Nice location close to the main Helen attractions. Reasonable rates, clean rooms, friendly helpful staff, right on the river with easy access, swings and seating on the river bank. Parking is a little tight and rooms are up one level with a nice sloped walking ramp for easy access.

Check-in was not the way you want to start, especially after a loooong drive! I walked in and there were 6 people waiting. It was about ten minutes before someone finally came to check us in. There was some drama with one of the groups, I’ll skip that part, but it was entertaining! The cabin is sparse, so bring things. Rustic is a good word. Our cabin needed a little TLC, but that didn’t bother us, we stayed outside mostly till bedtime. We called up to the office a few times for various questions the few days we were there, and once for an extra blanket. They were great! Breakfast is mainly cold selections, cereal,bars, muffins, fruits. Great selections. The location was awesome! Our cabins back deck looked directly at the little Chatahoochee. Beautiful little spot. Because of the check-in situation I’d give this a 7 out of 10.
