We headed up to Helen for a visit to Young Harris College & also take in Oktoberfest.
The area is bautiful & the leaves are beginning to change, although, the dry weather has dimmed them a bit. We arrived at the hotel & as apparently the usual is these days our friends from another country greeted us in "very good" English. They could not find the reservation & told us that because of the events ongoing the rate would be $199.99 a night! Good thing we printed out our own receipt...then things changed.
We were given the key cards to our rooms, we booked 2 separate, for our friends & the difference was not much, but still noticeable. I do not beleive the place has seen bleach or a coat of paint in years. Holes in the wall, nasty carpet. I know its hard to keep things up, but this is a cleanliness issue...really. I mean come on guy's stop by on the way to wrk & buy some spray cleaner...PLEASE. I would not stay there again if I had a choice. Too many others to try out.

“One word: "Gross"”

Days Inn Helen

Oct 8, 2007

This hotel is disgusting and overpriced. We booked the "Kitchen Suite" which is supposedly the nicest room in the hotel. If that's the case, I feel sorry for the other guests. The walls were stained, the wallpaper was peeling, and the bathtub was dirty beyond cleaning. This particular room is obviously the residence of the manager or owner, because it was musty, smelly and appeared "lived in". The furniture is all second-hand, moldy and water-damaged. And believe it or not, the manager told me that the room had been recently renovated! It seriously was a dump. There is also an insect problem as I woke up with bites all over my body. We would have canceled our stay if any other hotel had a vacancy. Please, do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

“Worst service, stay away”

First was told room was on back of building, where we parked, unloaded our stuff in the pouring rain, walked up to the 2nd floor and found the room was not there. It was, in fact, on the front of the building. So we had to carry stuff back down, around the front back up the stairs (again in the rain). Key did not work on door; back to front desk. NO HOT WATER IN ROOM, shower would start warm then change to cold water almost immediately. Called front desk 3 times and said there were new valves that could be causing problem. No hot water that night, and none the next morning either, so apparently they still have not fixed. Unbearable to be in cold rain and then cold shower. POOR SERVICE. Have stayed in Helen GA on 3 occasions and this was poorest choice of hotels. Will not return, nor recommend to others.

Update: After sending comments to DAYS INN company, told feedback was sent to general manager of hotel. After 2 WEEKS, still have not heard back from hotel. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL - THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Stay away. Please.
Hotel is FILTHY, dirty, and disgusting. Gunk and smears on walls, hairs in bathroom, sinks, and beds, carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in years. Room smelled of dog pee, mold, and cheap air freshener. Dust and fingerprints on every surface. Sink faucets falling out of wall. "Breakfast" was prepackaged "Honey Buns" and coffee.Had it not been 2 am when we arrived, we would have left immediately.
I didn't know the health department allowed such places to exist.

“Turn back and go home”

Days Inn Helen

3/4 found this review helpful

This is the Worst Place to visit and stay at. We stayed there enough to see the room and PUKE! If you like hair and bugs in your bed and bathroom this would be for you. They charged me 200 for the room because there was nothing else available I asked for my money back that was probablly the best thing they did and the only thing they have done in I don't know when. We didn't even get deep into Helen didn't want to either. We went to the fuge shop and got the heck out of there and went to suwannee ga and stayed a comfort suites that was great! then we went to the mall of georgia the next day.
