Top Clayton Hotel Reviews

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Helen Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean the bed was very comfortable and the jetted tube was great too"

Sylvan Valley Lodge & Cellars

8/10 Good

"The lodge is conveniently located less than 10 mins outside of downtown Helen. It’s positioned on a secluded hillside just off the main 2 lane road. The building and decor does feel a bit outdated but adds to the charm. We stayed in the “Family Suite” which was a split level room. It was great having a separate sleeping area from the kids. I’m 6’4 and had to really bend over to get up the stairs in our suite but wasn’t a huge deal for a few days. We were a bit disappointed they didn’t offer food onsite, but they did have a wine starting you could do for an additional cost. We were the only family there our first night, so that was a bit creepy. The main front door they don’t allow you to lock at night and there was no staff onsite after 5pm. That made me very uneasy as well but we survived. We’s stay again, but check out one of the 3 separate cabins next time."

Helen's Newest Riverfront Rental on the Chattahoochee River

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in this cottage for our 30th anniversary. The host was so hospitable! She had a bottle of champagne and a beautiful card waiting when we walked through the door. The rose petals on the bed when we walked in to our bedroom showed how much thought she had put in to our visit. We will be returning soon. Everything was perfect and just as listed!"
