This is the 3rd out of 4 years my brother and I have stayed at the Helendorf and we could not have asked for a better experience. The one time we didn't stay at the Helendorf our trip sucked. This year was a reminder why I love this town. The staff was incredibly generous and helpful. Nelson and the rest... More

I've stayed at the Helendorf for the last 3 years on our trip to Helen. The staff is great and friendly, the prices are good and it's straight on the river! You can't ask for any else. Check them out next time your planning a trip. More

Customer service is on point; employees are all very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are clean (I'm very picky about clean rooms and bathrooms) Love the location centralized to everything in Helen. More

There was no soap, shampoo etc.There was a tiny kitchenette with poor lighting, small refrigerator,stove and a microwave. If you want utensils, you must go to the office to check... More

The staff there were not very friendly particularly the older gentleman with glasses and the young woman at the front desk. We loved the look of our room but the beds were not comfortable and there were no samples (soap, shampoo etc). Between the loud air conditioner, and people in the rocking chairs outside of our room being loud at... More

We decided to stay at the Helendorf for two reasons, one because my son and his family were staying there and the other because of the authentic sounding name. The Helendorf on Munich Strasse has a much more German ring to it than the Day’s Inn on Main Street. From the moment we arrived at the Alpine looking inn and... More

We visited from Asheville for two nights and had a lovely stay. The town was fairly quiet as we were off season. Nelson at the front desk pointed us towards tasty food and drink. I highly recommend this hotel and this town for mid-March. More

AC was weak but worked. Heater was good. Used both this time of the year. During the week visit so some... More

My mom, her beau, and another couple spent the weekend here. Because she's not really computer literate, she asked me to leave a positive review for the Helendorf Inn. All four of them -- late 60s to mid-70s in age -- had a terrific stay, she said. Beds were really comfortable, everything super clean (and my mom has very high... More

It is always great to hear the stories of guests who have enjoyed themselves here at the Helendorf and likewise to see it on Trip Advisor. Our staff always works hard to satisfy the guests and respond to their needs. Our pool will be renovated soon and we will be adding more lounge chairs and other seating as well. Again,... More
