for SoWo, I stay at the Helendorf. I always love to get a riverfront room and sit outside at night with friends to just unwind. The new renovations to the back patio on the river makes that very easy and relaxing with the new lighting. The staff is always very friendly and very accommodating. The location is very central to... More

We found The Helendorf to be a charming hotel with friendly staff. The hotel is beautifully situated along the Chattahoochee River (steps from the patio literally lead into the river). Pros: -Friendly 24 hour staff. -Amazing riverfront location (pay extra for a riverfront room, you'll be glad you did. We slept with our third story balcony door open as the... More

My wife and I stayed one night ( we wish that we had more time) at the Helendorf River Inn, and we were very glad that we did. We paid a little extra to get a nice room along the Chattahoochee River, and felt like the extra cost was worth it. We paid $113.00 including tax during the week in... More

We have been staying in this hotel for over 20 years for the annual trout tournament held the last weekend in March. The hotel has made significant improvements in the past couple of years. The kitchen has new appliances and the patio along the river has been completely renovated. My only minor complaint was that housekeeping took a little longer... More

I've driven by The Helendorf Inn about 100 times and never really paid any attention. I think it's easy to look past as you're walking or riding around Helen, GA. When I first walked into the lobby it was in completely torn up due to construction. A wonderful young man "Nelson" shared with us all the changes taking place then... More

The Helendorf River Inn is an old hotel but that is the good news as well as the bad news. Because it is old it was built in a prime location: right on the river and downtown! The river is why we stayed a second night. After a day enjoying the winding mountain roads relaxing on our balcony over looking... More
