6/10 Good

Very nice stay.
Everything was great however we could hear people above us stomping feet. In both of our rooms the people over us were so loud at 2am. I don’t think they ever slept because we could hear them at 6:30am, 5pm, 9pm, 2am. I think there were kids over us. But happened in the 2nd room we had too. Also the bed was not comfortable but we do have a higher end mattress at home so I am spoiled. I did not sleep for the past 2 nights so for that reason it was an ok place to stay. The staff was great. Housekeeper, front desk, cooks, etc. Breakfast was good and nice to not have to wait in line at a restaurant so that was great! Parking was ample especially for such a small town. They made sure guests had a place to park by roping it off with no additional charge. Much appreciated for that too.

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!
