The room was large and well equipped with a thoughtfully stocked kitchen (with kitchen tools, etc.) and comfortable beds and bathroom. The location is the main selling point and is just a short walk from the museum. We would stay at this hotel again in future.

We have stayed at The Helms Inn several times over the last ten years. Excellent location to favourite sights and eateries. However, after spending over $300 dollars a night I still had to pay $10 a day to park in the small lot.
