We were right off Main Street where all the action was. All the shoppes and restaurants were still decorated for Christmas!

Ehh.. was hoping for more.
Decided to stay at this place due to recent good reviews and for the location. However our stay was not as accommodating as I had wished. The service and friendliness of the staff was great. However, the room was outdated and could use some deep cleaning. There was “stuff” stuck onto the bathroom walls & doors. The corners of the baseboards was nasty- just giving it a ick feeling. Our room was not the cleanest- there was hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived. My one and half year old child feet/socks were filthy after walking across the floors. All made me uneasy that it was a well cleaned place. I did see one roach during our stay. I had to put on my big girl attitude and deal with it but likely will not stay here again.

It's a great location right on the river and very close to downtown but it could stand some upgrading. I will stay there again but next time I'll get a cabin. There was too many people outside our room talking way too loud to late at night.

Best spot to stay in Helen
Staff was great. Hotel is right on the river- perfect locale to everything. Perfect spot right in the middle of everything made it easy to walk to every thing we wanted to see.

Great location
Perfect place for a 2 day mini vacation. Loved the swings down by the river. Our king room was updated and so nice. Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip. We didn’t need to drive anywhere. Our car stayed at the property the entire time and we were able to walk everywhere.

My wife Maria extended out stay by a day so I found a cabin to stay in by Riverbend and, in spite of the rain, turns out it was a pretty good place to stay! Definitely close to town and all of the Oktoberfest stuff - Unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to take advantage of all that.

Stay was good. Interrupted by a lot of rain at no fault to the hotel. Staff seemed a bit short at the front desk with the exception of Jessica. Room appeared clean but found mold on sheets and bathroom door did not close.
