Terrible front desk staff
I booked a king suite with tub and balcony and was given a standard double. They claimed they over booked and no one contacted me and no one will give me a partial refund! I was telling the woman who checked me in how excited I was for the suite for my birthday and she never even said anything! I got up to the room and had to go all the way back down for her to tell me “oh yeah it’s over booked but we gave you a room that cost the same” I would have never stayed there and paid $400 for a standard double! The room wasn’t even clean enough or nice enough to charge that! They then tried to blame hotels.com — I just over it. Very disappointed and if it really is a problem with the booking site maybe I’ll stop using it. Very disappointed in how much money I wasted for a room that didn’t give me! Terrible! Will not stay again! It appears this isn’t getting posted because they blamed hotels.com — also not ok. No one is helping me! I’ve sent complaints to the hotel and hotels.com! Awful service all the way around

Weekend trip
We went for a weekend trip for anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and a very friendly staff member. She explained all details of hotel. Our room was more spacious than expected and was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had a large walk in shower and the water pressure was fantastic. The breakfast was very good. The pool was large and clean. The area around the hotel was very clean as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Weekend getaway
We enjoyed sitting by the river, an easy walk. Room was nice. At the time of our visit they were upgrading the televisions and the cable. There was no channel guide for us and the TV had no info at all, just the name of the network. No closed captioning.
Chattahoochee River a very short walk away.

The Holiday Inn Express in Helen was a great choice for us. The staff was very friendly and informative. They care about the people who stay at their hotel. I also liked the free parking and that it was walking distance to everything. The rooms are very clean and spacious. I highly recommend the Holdiay Inn Express!
