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.
