The staff were extremely courteous and friendly! Over the top continental breakfast! Loved the location, it was convenient to everything Helen had to offer! We will definitely be staying at the Helendorf if our travels take us to Helen again! Love the cleanliness and well stocked rooms! Plenty of pillows, towels, cups, tissues, even coffee! My husband and I don't drink coffee but it was right there in the room with a Keurig! Absolutely wonderful stay here!

Great stay in downtown Helen

The hotel is styled with the German Alpine theme throughout Helen. It is in the downtown district with restaurants and shops. I would want to stay here for the convenience of getting around and the clean comfortable room again.
