Germany Christmas and Cats!
It was a fun and interesting experience staying at a German themed hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the pest control was too (they have a team of cats patrolling the area!)

While it is clearly an older property, it was very clean and in the perfect location for those wanting a quaint mountain stay in the heart of Helen. Because of its age, the walls are thin so be prepared to hear the local festivities as well as your neighbors. The staff was prompt and very pleasant, and the continental breakfast was perfect for an on the go family. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to explore Helen, GA.

Cleanliness question
Property was nice enough- however, I have to give an honest review. When my elderly parents and teenage son checked into their room, there were some appalling ‘personal items’ left in the top drawers of the dresser….. so- was the room really cleaned??! I was also called by the hotel manager who seemed upset and asked if we ‘left our items behind’!!! When the issue was found to be with the hotel, I got a cold swift apology- Probably won’t stay here again.

Staff was good. Hotel is old but kinda nostalgic. The only issue was we had a room with balcony over the creek and the person under us smoked marijuana literally day and night. We were not able to enjoy the balcony or keep our door open that we paid a higher price for.

Check in easy and guy was friendly. Can't beat the location. Both doors did not open to the balcony. One was permanently shut and the window in that one was cloudy so it ruined our view a bit. One other issue, and no fault of the hotel, is the huge parking lot across the river. When it's full it kinda ruins the picturesque view you may be looking for. And during the summer all the tubers during the day probably destroy it. Beds were comfortable. They do offer some breakfast items. Make sure to read their terms and conditions, they are very straight forward and open. If you are surprised by anything you didn't read them. Honestly, for the price, next time we will go back to the cheaper, non balcony room. They have a great little walk along the river with tons of chairs and tables so we will just utilize that next time. But location alone is worth it, once we park the vehicle it doesn't move till we check out.

We enjoyed the room and kitchenette. The beds and bedding were super comfortable and clean. The only recommendation is to pressure wash the balcony. All in all it was a great stay and the area was so enjoyable. A must see if the HoferS Bakery right up the street.
