Good location in middle of town. There are several buildings, some of which back to the river which is nice. Location & walkability best features. Hotel is older & needs some maintenance but room was clean & spacious.

Stayed for 2 nights recently with 2 younger kids. The indoor pool was a hit with them and we spent a lot of time there. (It is 4' deep all around so plan accordingly with small children). The location is awesome, being able to walk everywhere was worth it. The rooms were nice and clean.

The staff sets up a text conversation when you checkin. I had a question about the location of a light switch. They answered promply. My only complaint is the free breakfast. It is a bunch of indiviually wrapped muffins etc. Fortunately, there are a lot of good restaurants that serve breakfast.

Helendorf Inn is a great location above all. It doesn’t give a feeling of cleanliness but just enough to be okay for a night or two. The staff is great and immediately took care of our needs. Would recommend for a short trip!
