Only negative would probably be that the walls are paperthin. Night person called to complain about the noise, and I have no idea what he was talking about. Our TV was on, but not loud, and we were just conversing - but he got very rude. We did hear the noise next door at 8 AM, so I maybe understand.

Great location
The hotel staff was nice but the decor was a little outdated. I would have given 5 stars due to location and overall quality but the only feedback I could give would be to have the curtains updated to black out curtains so the neon sighs did not peep through the curtains. I woke up several times thinking it was 7am but it was 1:50am.

I would stay here again, but...
The riverside patio and view was really good, as was the live music at a restaurant up the river a bit. The outdoor furniture could be a bit nicer, but was comfortable enough for a couple of hours. The room was clean, but the decor is dated with dark brown being a prominent color (white bedding would make a big difference). The bathroom is small and fixtures older, but the the toilet is private. The private balcony was nice and had a screen door so we could leave the main door open and enjoy the sound of the river. Perfect location with a very short walk to the Octoberfest building, downtown shops, and recommended restaurants.

This was my first time staying at the Helendorf with some family. Wish I had one more day here it was awesome. The rooms were located at the courtyard up the stairs ,rooms 716 and 715 . Loved the rocking chairs they have in front of the rooms on the porch, the rooms were clean and kept up , no complaints. The staff were quick and friendly with the checkin process. Will definitely be staying at the Helendorf again ! The location is perfect to all the shops and restaurants

This is not a high end property, so the decor is dated. The room is very clean and the bed was comfortable. The best part is the proximity to EVERYTHING in Helen. All shops, river, and restaurants are within seconds of the door.

Our first time staying here and we definitely enjoyed ourselves! Loved that everything is within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and gave us great options on where to eat and do day excursions! The grounds are beautiful being on the river! We had a room with a balcony overlooking the river.

Hotel is centrally located everything was walking distance. Hotel was a bit outdated. But the location on the river can’t be beat. The room I stayed in needed a rug cleaning and the pillows were flat and hard.

Disappointed
We were upgraded to a king and kitchenette. But the curtains kept falling down, mattress was very lumpy, pillows were flat. Toilet kept running. Black stuff came out of the bathroom faucet. We told them about the faucet and curtains. But the curtains broke again. There was a family reunion and so much smoking and loud music. I let the front desk know at 10:00 but the music continued till 11pm. It said non smoking room but all balconies have ash trays to smoke on. Very misleading. My husband gets migraines so that made it horrible. We checked out 4 days earlier. At least we got reimbursed. There should be hotel policies about noise and cut off time. We will never stay here again. Front desk was kind and helpful but that was about it. Housekeeping forgot our special request the next day we were there.
