Top Helena Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Helena

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Helena

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was actually very good, with a nice variety of hot and cold foods including a waffle maker. The location was right off I-15 but we really couldn't hear much of the freeway traffic from within the room. We had a 3rd floor room and there were some roof leaks that the rain made evident in the hallway. Also, the TV and its remote were not well coordinated for channel selection."
