I had an very nice stay at the Helendorf River Inn. easily the highlight of our trip to Helen. The location couldn't be better, with tubing, dining, and attractions all within walking distance. The room was spacious and clean, and the riverside area provided a perfect spot for relaxation. though I wish they had more luggage carts for busy check-out times.

I had an amazing stay at Helendorf River Inn! The room was clean and cozy, and I loved the festive touch of a small Christmas tree. The balcony view of the Chattahoochee River was just perfect, too. It’s super close to shops and restaurants, but I didn’t hear much noise from the bustling streets, which was great. I can't wait to go back!

My stay at Helendorf River Inn was wonderful, with recently updated rooms and a charming atmosphere. The grounds were surprisingly peaceful, and the staff's friendliness really stood out. However, I did face a few minor issues like a leaky coffee maker and a malfunctioning ironing board that detracted from the overall experience.

5.8/10

I loved the location of the Helendorf River Inn, right in the heart of Helen and by the river, but the hotel definitely needs some updates. While the staff was friendly and the room had plenty of amenities, the furnishings felt dated, and cleanliness was lacking in some areas. Overall, the view and location made my stay enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it was worth the price we paid.

Rooms

The room had a comfortable king bed and a nice balcony overlooking the river, but it was very outdated with old furniture and a musty smell. The Wi-Fi was slow, which was disappointing as I needed to check emails and browse the web.

The hotel had amenities like free parking, but the common areas were dusty and needed a thorough cleaning. The outdoor pool looked uninviting and dirty, making me hesitant to use it.
