SureStay Hotel by Best Western Helen Downtown

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Helen Downtown

8/10 Good
"We had a nice one night stay here in Helen. The property is in walking distance of everything in town, so it was good option. The property is a bit old on the outside, but the interiors have been remodeled over the years. It was nice big room for the two of us. The remodel looked good at a distance, but was a bit off up close (the tub faucet wasn't caulked properly). Breakfasts only warm options were items to micorwave yourself, so, so. All in all we would stay again for the location (right across the street from the mountain coaster), cleanliness and quiet night."
