The were finishing up some renovations when we were there but the hotel was surprisingly quite and clean. Very convenient to downtown Helen. Breakfast was tasty and there was a lot of variety. The outdoor area was clean and there is a great view of the river and folks tubing if you get a balcony river-view room. Would definitely stay there again!
