The room was spotless and the staff was very professional and polite. We asked for more coffee to be brought to the room and the cleaning lady was at my door within 5 minutes with more coffee then what I asked for. Plenty of parking space and the Inn is at an excellent location to everything. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay. You are close to everything. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and watching the river and the river riders! We rode the Mountain coaster which is a short walk, floated the river - also very close! Paul's was a great option for dinner as well as Cowboys and Angels. Will definitely be back and will stay at the Helendorf.
