Germany Christmas and Cats!
It was a fun and interesting experience staying at a German themed hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the pest control was too (they have a team of cats patrolling the area!)

Cleanliness question
Property was nice enough- however, I have to give an honest review. When my elderly parents and teenage son checked into their room, there were some appalling ‘personal items’ left in the top drawers of the dresser….. so- was the room really cleaned??! I was also called by the hotel manager who seemed upset and asked if we ‘left our items behind’!!! When the issue was found to be with the hotel, I got a cold swift apology- Probably won’t stay here again.

The hotel and the entire town of Helen needs a complete remodel and updating. It is far too old; lots of broken, or torn tiles, bricks, and desperately in need of fresh paint. Cute town and I'm sure it was prettier back in the 70's or 80's.

Only negative would probably be that the walls are paperthin. Night person called to complain about the noise, and I have no idea what he was talking about. Our TV was on, but not loud, and we were just conversing - but he got very rude. We did hear the noise next door at 8 AM, so I maybe understand.

Great location
The hotel staff was nice but the decor was a little outdated. I would have given 5 stars due to location and overall quality but the only feedback I could give would be to have the curtains updated to black out curtains so the neon sighs did not peep through the curtains. I woke up several times thinking it was 7am but it was 1:50am.

I would stay here again, but...
The riverside patio and view was really good, as was the live music at a restaurant up the river a bit. The outdoor furniture could be a bit nicer, but was comfortable enough for a couple of hours. The room was clean, but the decor is dated with dark brown being a prominent color (white bedding would make a big difference). The bathroom is small and fixtures older, but the the toilet is private. The private balcony was nice and had a screen door so we could leave the main door open and enjoy the sound of the river. Perfect location with a very short walk to the Octoberfest building, downtown shops, and recommended restaurants.

Hotel is centrally located everything was walking distance. Hotel was a bit outdated. But the location on the river can’t be beat. The room I stayed in needed a rug cleaning and the pillows were flat and hard.

The employees were very nice and helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean. We loved having a balcony on the river and enjoyed relaxing in our room, as well as how the location was so convenient. We didn't get in the car all weekend! We'll stay again. :)

When we arrived the sink was stopped up and there was a stain on sheet, so I was turned off immediately. The view from our balcony was great, very relaxing. Very pricey for the accommodations.

It was so nice and room was clean and the beds were so comfortable! The breakfast was pretty decent. Having the hotel next to the river was neat!
So many different paintings around the place!

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
We were upgraded to a king and kitchenette. But the curtains kept falling down, mattress was very lumpy, pillows were flat. Toilet kept running. Black stuff came out of the bathroom faucet. We told them about the faucet and curtains. But the curtains broke again. There was a family reunion and so much smoking and loud music. I let the front desk know at 10:00 but the music continued till 11pm. It said non smoking room but all balconies have ash trays to smoke on. Very misleading. My husband gets migraines so that made it horrible. We checked out 4 days earlier. At least we got reimbursed. There should be hotel policies about noise and cut off time. We will never stay here again. Front desk was kind and helpful but that was about it. Housekeeping forgot our special request the next day we were there.
