Tallapoosa Vacation Packages

Not what I expected. Room not very clean.

The plus side of the condo is that it is easy access to the hub of Helen's shops, bars and restaurants. It was very spacious inside with a full wall of windows which made it very bright! The bath rooms were clean along with the towels and bed linens. Beds were comfortable. The down side was that the carpet, couch and chairs were very worn down and both needed a good cleaning. The furnishings were solid and quality build, just the fabrics showed their age. Towels and kitchen appliances were old but still worked so I really have no issues there. We did use the kitchen for breakfast and found the supplies sparse for cooking but okay for our simple needs. For example, the supplied coffee filters were size2 but the coffee maker was size4? I would also suggest a re-arrange of the furniture so the sofa faced the beautiful view rather than the TV. Small details have an impact. Overall the condo had the wonderful 'alpine' feel that the Helen city planned for and I really liked that aspect. If you are on a bike or your car has a weak transmission, be sure you ask for one of the lower condos! I drive an Outback which is all wheel drive and had fun going up and down the steep access to the upper building but not sure everyone would make it that easily. Check in was easy and the security lady was a delight. Overall, it was a good value for the area but I would love to see them do a 'freshen-up'. It would go from good to excellent!

clean, nice location, good price, easy parking, overall great stay.

The only thing I didn't like was the inconvenience of the front of the hotel where you pull up to unload your car. The staff was really nice
