Top Clayton Hotel Reviews

Lake Chatuge Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Enjoyed the beautiful views, the staff was helpful and the breakfast was appreciated."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Helen Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great location."

The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

8/10 Good

"The rooms and all common areas were clean. The staff were very nice. The coffee shop made delicious lattes and the staff were quick to make the drinks. The downside of the visit was not being able to get water after check-in. After dropping the bags in the room, there were no attendants at the desk and there were no vending machines. The coffee shop was closed so no water could be purchased. There was also only 1 cup in the room but there were 2 of us."

Baymont by Wyndham Helen

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable and clean."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Place had 8.2 star which was a little high in my opinion for the type of place. There was a lot of “junk” around the front office that appeared renovations maybe were being done. The room was clean but definitely could use updating. Had to turn heater on and the smell was horrible. Could hear everything going on upstairs most of the night. There was a lot of young people hanging around outside a good bit of the evening. The staff was very pleasant checking in. Not sure I would stay there again though."
