Yes we went during Oktoberfest. It wasn't overcrowded and the hotel was a distance away from the festival. We enjoyed the walking. We arrived at the hotel on friday at night and was given a handicap room which I didn't request online. Our first stay was fine with no problems. We had to request the our room be cleaned the...

The lodging in Helen is very hit-or-miss. This is an almost hit. The motel is a tad far for walking, and a bit off the beaten path. The staff is very friendly and helpful - even offered to carry bags to the room for me. They welcomed my two small dogs, and had to meet them and admire them. (I... More

First thing, pictures on website are deceiving. Do not go during Octoberfest, it's overpriced for what you get. We weren't told about any kind of breakfast available. Room wreaked of cigarette smoke (said was a no smoking room). Beds sagged in the middle (both beds). Everything needs to be updated. Old TV. Cable sucked. Had no hair dry. Had a... More

I brought a collegiate soccer team through Helen and we needed a great price place to stay and we found it! We got in very late after a big Oktoberfest weekend but they still were able to get rooms ready for us. Needed a few little things done but they were quick to take care of everything we needed.

My wife & I stayed here one night during the begining of Octoberfest. We weren't there to attend the event because our plan was to spend 4 days on the Appalachian Trail. Steve & Amy were extremely helpful in making our trip pleasent. I was worried about leaving my car on the side of the road for the hike and... More

Steve and Amy, the new managers, are working their butts off to make this place appealing. They have nice recommendations for places to eat, good suggestions for daytime actvities for various ages, and are just genuinely good people. Although they try hard, the ownership has to back their efforts. What's needed? Not a whole lot. Fresh paint and spackling where... More

My stay was a nightmare. I was moved to 3 different rooms, due to the horrible condition in their rooms. The first room had no latch to lock the door. After I complained about that they moved me to another room, and their was duct tape on the inside of the door and on the top of the air conditioner.... More

I booked a room here before reading the reviews and when I went back to read them I was almost persuaded to cancel my reservations. But since I was only staying a couple of nights and the price was so low, I decided to give it a go, and this place exceeded my admittedly low expectations. The hotel seems understaffed... More
