Remodel this thing!

Pros: see note above
Cons: read above info.
Location: walking distance to all activities in town and very low priced.
rooms are spacious and there was a microwave and refrigerator but no coffee maker or any cups anywhere in the room. The remote had no back on it to hold in the batteries and the front window was broken of showing the guts of the remote, it worked unbelievably. only 2 towels in the room and 2 washcloths [usually there are more than one apiece. No suitcase stand in the room. It did have a good ice maker outside and a great location in town. It looked like they were in the process of remodeling it. we slept OK and We did not hear any other rooms through the walls. The staff was very nice and made us feel comfortable there.

The desk clerk was friendly, efficient, and welcoming.

Great staff. Room quality? Well, you get what you pay for. We sacrificed quality for price. Toilet did not flush properly. Coffee pot was nasty. We opted out of showers; not confident about cleanliness. (probably okay, but ...) Beds were comfortable enough. We just needed a place to sleep overnight, and leave early in the morning. It was perfectly adequate for that.

Can't Beat the Value

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, service, small breakfast but coffee and pastry was enough
Steve and Amy make the place worth every dime. It is an older property and the classic outside facing motel. But since I needed a good value for a soccer team it fit my bill to a T. Glad we ended up at their place.

Worst Motel I Have Stayed in 37 Years

This is the first time I have ever complained about a business that I have done business with.This place was horrible from the start. The shower did not work. The door had a 2 inch opening at the bottom for the cold air to come in. They had roaches in the bathroom. The guys next door were loud till at least 2 am in the morning. There were missing light bulbs in the lamps. Overpriced as I see the cost out of season is the price it should always be. This place should be in an area where rooms are rented by the hour not the night. The staff was ruder than my mother-in- law. The pictures are not showing the whole effect of this dump. I am glad the weekend is over. I will never visit any motel/hotel from this chain again. The level of cleaness and service is below a trash can. I can not say anymore.

Rude, Nasty, Not at all like the pictures!!!!

When we looked at the pics of this place it didnt show a single one w/o the whirlpool tub. We were expecting alot nicer and cleaner hotel room. We get into the room and no whirlpool tub like the pics had shown. The walls were nasty and the sheets were disgusting. We ask the receptionist NICELY if she could change our sheets and to explain why the pics didnt match the room. She was very rude and didnt immediately get someone up to our room to change the sheets nor did she politely explain about the oh so ""WRONG"" pictured they have on their site. The walls had paint peeling off in places and had plaster in others. The bed was very very hard and not comfortable at all. Customer service is NOT their first priority here! We paid for 2 nights and asked for our money back for the second night because we no longer wanted to stay there. She explained she wasnt allowed to give us our money back at all and that their was no complaint line or box we could call or write. I would never stay there again! We ended up coming to the Super 8.

Pleasant stay

The hotel was adequate as far as Helen hotels go. The lady behind the desk was pleasant, the room was clean, they accepted pets for a small fee which was great. There was a grasy area to walk him too. Breakfast was nothing to write home about, but basic honeybuns, cold cereal , coffee and was included in the room rate.

This was one of our best trips

The guy at the front desk was really nice. Everything was ready for us all I had to do was sign in. The room was nice and clean. The hotel was close to everything. It was great. I would stay there anytime.

Clean It Up

Our room smelled awful, paint was peeling, toilet was rusty, sink and shower handles were moldy, half the lights didn't work. Will not stay again, not even for free. Had to go buy a can of Oust to be able to survive the smell
