Days Inn by Wyndham Helen
Pretty good motel. Manager was friendly. Room was not cleaned on Sunday. Half of night latch on door was missing. Chairs in room were not comfortable at all. Entry door and bathroom door frame needed to be painted. Overall it was a nice stay. Would stay there again.

River's Edge - Ultimate Riverfront Cabin w/Hot Tub
Everything was FANTASTIC!!! Greatly enjoyed the time away! Would have been nice to be able to still use the fireplace for the cold mornings (40 degrees!) but I understand you can’t control the weather!!! All in all, 5 stars!

Alpine Valley Inn
The room appeared fine and had been reasonably redone. The sheets on my bed weren’t clean. I managed .
