Enjoyed our stay at Helms inn for 3 nights. Very clean and conveniently located. Not sound proof, could hear kids running upstairs on the morning of our last day, thankfully we were checking out that morning.

We weren't aware that parking was extra so that was a surprise. The room was wonderful- it is an older building but nicely renovated with a spacious room that was clean. Only issue was the room was noisy - both upstairs as well as traffic outside. We would definitely go back but choose a room in the back next time

Room was large but had a very strange smell - possibly damp?. Was also facing a very busy junction so lots of traffic noise until late at night, before starting again early morning. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Location was excellent for walking into town.
