Nice large room, good bed, mostly quiet (we had small children, or a couple rhinos it was hard to discern the difference, stomping around above us until about 10 but they finally calmed down.)

Bobby

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is definitely a bit dated, with older carpet and furnishings, and the air conditioner was loud and didn’t work particularly well — especially noticeable during a warm July stay on the third floor. That said, I was extremely impressed with how clean the room was. It was spotless, and that made a big difference. The true highlight of my stay was the housekeeper — incredibly friendly and genuinely a wonderful person. Her attention to detail really stood out. While the hotel could use some updates, for the price, it’s a great choice if cleanliness and friendly service matter to you. Would stay again.

Trip to visit family.

The Helgeson is a great little hotel in Orofino. We had a 1 bedroom suite. It was very roomy. The staff is excellent. The elevator is quirky. We enjoyed the back patio. The hotel is very convenient to restaurants, bars, stores, and such. Go to House of Juju. It's fantastic.

We had booked a room that stayed it slept 5 I assumed the couch would be a pull out. But it only had a queen and king. The office closes for the evening at 10pm with no one available so we couldn’t even request a rollaway bed. Not sure if that would have been available but feel like they should have let us know at check in
