We had Bed Bugs when we woke up from our overnight stay! It bit my boyfriend but we killed before it got back to its home. And not a few moments after that, there was a spider crawling on my bed! our whole morning was ruined. We stayed in room 108. We also figured why not go to breakfast since we got awoken earlier. They said they were serving warm hot breakfast. all they served was cereal, apples, yogurt, and waffles. We also checked a couple times just in case if they added more breakfast items but they didn’t. The breakfast on the website should be taken down if it’s not the breakfast that’s going to be served. regardless if it’s under new management or not. And if that breakfast is only for certain days it should be listed as well. If we come back to Helen we will never be staying here ever again. Make sure to check your beds before you sleep.

This property is an old under-maintained facility and also under new management. Rooms are showing their age. Work in on-going tio update the facility. First assigned room did not have a latching door or a door lock that engaged. Toilet in second room would not flush and had to be plumbed after first use, worked fine remainder of stay. Breakfast is a minmal selection but adequate. Staff is welcoming and ready to assist whenever necessary. A big thank you to Shannon for welcoming use and getting us settle on the first night.

I don’t normally seek out to find things wrong at a hotel I try to look for the positive. But I have to say something about this room. The property was very conveniently located by everything but the actual hotel can use a little TLC. The inside of the room had a stagnant lingering smell like the room hadn’t been kept up with cleanliness and there wasn’t any air flow from the window unit. The bathroom sink stopper broke and the water wouldn’t drain properly. Wash cloths were not present neither was a linen bag. These are basic amenities and for almost $300 I expect the bare minimum of simple items. There’s more I want to say but these were the main problems.

Check in was at 3:00. We arrived at 4:00. Got into room at 7:54! Four hour wait. Door frame is missing chain lock. Part of Door frame appears to be a shoddy replacement. Different wood from rest of frame. Will not stop forced entry and is unsafe Shower curtain rod was torn from wall and improperly repaired. Afraid to take a shower since shower curtain is likely to fall down TV can not be used. It cannot be connected to cable. Manager tried to reboot TV with no success. Then Manager suggested we use our private phone to setup local WiFi hotspot and maybe the TV can connect to that. I declined. This is by far the most disappointing experience with a hotel recommendation by Expedia.
