First and Last Time
Hotel was in good location to restaurants, etc. Unfortunately, hotel was a little shabby & not very clean. Shower had caked on soap scum on glass. The room stunk of bodies, and the mattress was very worn. There were splatter stains on paint behind the toilet - don't even want to know - and one of the elevators did not work. Parking was very limited near the entrance. There was parking behind the hotel but you had to walk up a hill to get to an entrance.

2/10 Poor

Terrible front desk staff
I booked a king suite with tub and balcony and was given a standard double. They claimed they over booked and no one contacted me and no one will give me a partial refund! I was telling the woman who checked me in how excited I was for the suite for my birthday and she never even said anything! I got up to the room and had to go all the way back down for her to tell me “oh yeah it’s over booked but we gave you a room that cost the same” I would have never stayed there and paid $400 for a standard double! The room wasn’t even clean enough or nice enough to charge that! They then tried to blame hotels.com — I just over it. Very disappointed and if it really is a problem with the booking site maybe I’ll stop using it. Very disappointed in how much money I wasted for a room that didn’t give me! Terrible! Will not stay again! It appears this isn’t getting posted because they blamed hotels.com — also not ok. No one is helping me! I’ve sent complaints to the hotel and hotels.com! Awful service all the way around

Weekend trip
We went for a weekend trip for anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and a very friendly staff member. She explained all details of hotel. Our room was more spacious than expected and was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had a large walk in shower and the water pressure was fantastic. The breakfast was very good. The pool was large and clean. The area around the hotel was very clean as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Weekend getaway
We enjoyed sitting by the river, an easy walk. Room was nice. At the time of our visit they were upgrading the televisions and the cable. There was no channel guide for us and the TV had no info at all, just the name of the network. No closed captioning.
Chattahoochee River a very short walk away.

The Holiday Inn Express in Helen was a great choice for us. The staff was very friendly and informative. They care about the people who stay at their hotel. I also liked the free parking and that it was walking distance to everything. The rooms are very clean and spacious. I highly recommend the Holdiay Inn Express!

Hidden gem with fantastic staff
We had never been to Helen so we weren't sure what to expect. We didn't know if a cabin was the way to go or a hotel. We chose this hotel because we are members and they have a reputation for being very clean compared to other chains. On the way to our couples getaway we had stayed at a different location on the State line and it was suppar at best so we were a little gun shy to stay at another holiday inn. When we got there check in was a breeze,our room was fantastic. Clean, plenty of towels and toiletries....y'all the bed.... This was the absolute most comfortable bed I had slept on. I'm not sure if they use the same mattress type in each room or if it was particular to the king rooms but wow! I even called the hotel after we got home to ask specifically about what type they used. The breakfast was good as always. I liked that they had healthier options like egg white omelettes and turkey sausage. All this stuff aside the staff was absolutely fantastic and so very friendly and accommodating. When was the last time you stayed somewhere and was eating breakfast and treated like a customer rather than a self serve breakfast.... I was asked several times did I need anything do I want a refill on coffee and they even cleared my table for me. Now I know it is not supposed to be like this but this particular location the staff that runs the breakfast is top notch! The location was great too close enough to all the action but on the other end of all the hustle and bustle.

Great Hotel
The hotel was perfect for a quick trip to Helen. The desk clerk was attentive and friendly even though she had a customer on the phone and two customers waiting to check in. She even called the room later in the evening to make sure we were happy with the room. The person stocking breakfast was amazing. They were kind and offered multiple possible activities that we could do. I would 100% stay here should we ever return to Helen,GA.
