Great hotel

This hotel was great. We just stayed one night as we were passing by. The hotel had a great breakfast buffet with so much. They also had cookies and cofffee all day in the lobby. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel itself was beautiful and offered a lot. It’s walking distance to everything you will do in Helen Ga.

This property is fabulous!! I chose a king suite with balcony and tub and it was perfect for our trip. Everything in the room was clean. The pool was nice temperature and clean. I also liked the shower at the pool to rinse off the chlorine water. The beat part of the stay was the fantastic breakfast attendant. I regret not getting her name, but she was amazing!!! And definitely makes the experience at the hotel in the greatest way!! Already planning another trip back here!!
