The hotel is 50 years old and it is charming in that aspect. That said, the bathrooms are tight and the rooms are pretty average size. However, they are as advertised and you shouldn’t get a room expecting a giant soak tub. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the river view balcony is very under advertised. It is a terrific place to sit with a morning coffee or watch some of the night life moving and shaking. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is all prepackaged stuff (again, as honestly advertised) but sufficient. However the quaint tables by the fireplace is also under advertised. If you want a luxury spa, this isn’t it. If you want a friendly VERY conveniently located cozy little Inn, this is a classic hidden gem.

We stayed at the Helendorf Inn for one night on our way north and had a great experience. The room was very clean, which is always a top priority for us. We absolutely loved being right in the middle of the downtown area. Everything was a short, easy walk, which made exploring so convenient. My 11-year-old loved the breakfast, which was a great way to start the day. The staff was friendly and very helpful, and overall the stay was smooth and comfortable. If you want to be centrally located, walkable to downtown, and in a clean, welcoming place, this is a great option.

Room was very clean. Hotel was in a perfect location. Breakfast was lackluster. I would stay again except the beds were way too soft and my back was very sore after only two nights.
