My husband and I spent 2 nights in Helen this past week. We got one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the main road. We had no problem with outside noise from the tavern underneath the inn. Most places are within walking distance. The only time we had to drive was to go down to Best Bar and Grille.... More

The room is very nicely appointed and the location is truly great. Everything is walking distance. we really enjoyed our stay. There is no one on site to check-in with like a more conventional hotel. You need to go down the street to the A-1 vacation rentals office to check-in and obtain your keys. Be sure to arrive before the... More

We recently had our first "Octoberfest" experience in Helen, GA! Our pick for our stay was the Castle Inn right on Main Street! We were very impressed with the newly renovated rooms including the new flat panel TV's. The location was perfect for an in-town stay! All the balconies are private!!! There is no elevator and no extra's like a... More

This hotel really does have a great location. The people at A-1 vacations were very nice as well. We booked Room 203, at $89/night. The room actually has a really nice large flat screen they don't show on the picture on the website. If I would have booked earlier I would have definitely went with a street view room. Even... More

My family and I visited Helen during Oktoberfest. Having a hotel that was located in the middle of Helen was perfect. We could walk anywhere within 10 minutes. There is a flight of stairs that are on the backside of the hotel that are extremely steep. That would have to be my biggest complaint. The other complaint was the fact... More

Pro's: Our stay at this motel was pleasant. The room was clean. Was not expecting cleaning service, that was a nice surprise to come back to a cleaned up room with fresh linens and towels while away from the room. The view of the river was nice and we enjoyed watching the people walking past on the bridge over the... More

This hotel is located in the middle of downtown Helen, sharing the building with various quaint little shops and a the Troll Tavern Restaurant. The rooms are located on the third floor. From the street level entrance, you have to take a flight of stairs to get to the security door (opened by a code given to hotel guests for... More

Noisy - if you want sleep don't stay here. No ice in the ice machine. Bathroom counter too small to put anything on but a toothbrush. This place was just old and run down and too much money for what little you get. More

My wife and I stayed in this hotel for the Memorial Day weekend in 2011. It's really a quaint little place that sits in the heart of Helen, GA. providing easy access to EVERYTHING in town. While the rooms in the rear of the hotel do have a view of the "Hooch" river from the small yet cozy balcony, you... More
