We really enjoyed our stay here. It's quiet yet close to the heart of Helen. Easy walking distance to the shops and dining. Easiest check in I've experienced in a while.

Stay up in the mountains

Wow. What a trip! This hotel was well worth the price. Very comfortable and simply easy to get to. I could come back here every year. The bathroom is a little tight, the TV remote control was old and worn, and the toilet push buttons have seen better days. Updated as the toilet was, the life in the flush buttons was fading fast. Overall, our room was very above average.

The hotel was overall a awesome stay! Its on the river which is peaceful to look at! The hotel is beautiful and perfect for couples! It was quiet for the most part! The breakfast was okay I do think it needs to be upgraded .I guess better then nothing tho. And the cleaness of the hotel is okay, the floors was a bit dirty tho. Other then that the staff was nice and its perfect for a getaway! I do recommend staying for a few njghts at Riverbend Hotels and Cabins!

It was nice staying close to town and right next to the river. You are able to walk right into to river. There are swings to sit and enjoy.

They ripped me off of $290.00. I checked out early from a 3 day reservation and I was told I'm not eligible for a refund because I didn't stay three full days. Stay away from this place they are robbing people

We had a great time in Helen. The cabins are so close to everything we parked our car and didn’t have to drive again until we left. There are more things we wanted to do but we ran out of time. If you like shop people watch and drink beer this is a great place to visit.

Overpriced and Old

Hotel is older, dirty and overpriced for the condition and facilities provided. The pictures online are deceiving, there is no kitchen in the rooms.

Best location

We love this motel. It great for a one night getaway. The rooms are updated, beds are comfortable and there is a lite breakfast in the lobby. Sits on the river, beautiful views, two block walk to restaurants, shops and bars.

Anniversary Stay.

Our room had an amazing view of the hillside and the river. During the winter it does take approx. 15mins for the hot shower water to heat up. Most or all shops and diners were within walking distance. Was an amazing stay for our Anniversary.
