Great place to stay with great views in a great little town!
My family enjoyed our getaway in Helen, and staying at the Hampton is a great choice. Free hot breakfast, great views (Riverview room), and walking distance to downtown.
The rooms are getting a little wear, if any complaint. The charging station at the bedside table wasn't working, and there was a slow leak on the shower.
Other than that, a highly recommended place to stay!

Another outstanding stay with the Hampton! Thank you for inviting pets to stay! Will assisted me with booking our stay and then I met him in person upon check-in. Will was very helpful when I booked with him and displayed excellent customer service at check in. He offered recommendations, took his time to mark key areas on the local map and offered bottled waters after our long trip. The room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The only area for improvement would be to be more attentive to the trash in the landscaping. There is alot of trash in the dog walk area and it was frustrating to have to pull trash out of my dogs mouth every few minutes. Excellent location so you can enjoy the town and conveniently come and go as you desire. The hotel is a Bavarian theme on the outside to match the town and the staple Hampton Inn hotel on the inside. The lobby was inviting and was decorated beautifully for Christmas! Thank you!
