Great location. We could walk to the areas that were important to us. The property also resides on the riverside which we spent some time on. Quiet and safe.

The location was the best part!!! Older hotel but room was clean. Our bed springs squeaked but other than that it was perfect for us. Breakfast is barely anything which was the main downside.
The young lady that checked us in,
Katherine was gracious, friendly and
made sure all amenities advertised were
available to us. The motel was very clean,
comfortable and quiet as it was off the main road but close enough to easily walk to shops and restaurants.
All the front desk people and manager were so kind to us. We loved the hotel the location is perfect right on the river you can even get into the river with sand access. Bed were comfy rooms were modern.
The location next to the river and within walking distance of the downtown area is perfect. The cabins need a little work, but they are spacious and have everything you need. We had some trouble with the hot water, but the staff were attentive and courteous, especially Osvaldo. We will definitely go back.

Great location, great staff, right on the river. It definitely needs some updating.
Riverbend was in an excellent location. Very easy walk to restaurants and shops. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was super nice. I will stay here again.
Great quiet place to stay in Helen.. Anytime we head that way to trail ride the jeeps and the cabins are the go to .. very private and peaceful not to mention right on the river....
No hot water for our two night stay. Good location but nothing matters if you are not able to be clean. No restitution at all. I’m sure that never happened to the manager. Room was made up but underlying filth. It’s worrisome how the linens and towels were cleaned and sanitized. Ruined our vacation. You work all year for vacation for that. Not even the basics.
Fantastic place to stay in Helen! Both secluded and yet a two minute walk from downtown. The young lady working the front desk was INCREDIBLE, so helpful and kind. Room was clean and the property is incredibly well taken care of. Best of all... incredibly comfortable beds! 5 stars!
