Helen was a little busier and more commercial than I expected. Plus everything closes at 10 pm in the off season. So staying there was not as nice as I had hoped. Our room at the Castle Inn was very nicely decorated and very clean. However, it's not really an Inn, but a vacation rental- meaning that the office where you have to check in is up the street, and there is no room service, and we received no maid service (stayed 2 nights). The location of the Inn is good, but noisy with the only nightlife in town pumping out dated dance music until after midnight.

If we stay overnight in Helen again, I will stay at one of the cheaper, less nice places, and hopefully get some quiet and basic services.
