Pros:

Do not believe any positive reviews.

Simply put, this place is disgusting.
Not just dirty. Not just rundown. Not just outdated. I would perfectly be fine with any of that. I don't need white glove service or top tier amenities. But this place is putrid.
And it is grossly misrepresented here on hotels.com.

I stayed exactly 15 minutes before packing up and leaving.

And I've been fighting with this website ever since for a refund.

For starters, the hotel looks completely abandoned. So much so that you'll think you're in the wrong place.
My non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes. Not a faint tobacco smell. People were absolutely smoking in there. Probably for years. None of the lights worked. The door frame and molding were pulled away from the wall. Everything was filthy and the sheets were covered in brown stains. Read that again....the sheets were covered in brown stains.
Check other more reliable sources (Google reviews) for a more accurate representation. The reviews here are not just phony, they are ridiculous. Do not stay at this motel.

The bed was very firm and would suggest you bring your own pillows. Room was good for the cost.

Opening weekend at Helen 2025 Oktoberfest
Pros:

Hmmmmm. A towel and a sock in one of the drawers. Interior front door lock wouldn't lock (Rm 214). Pot smokers underneath or next door. Pool hasn't been opened this year at all (according to staff).
Short distance to the festhalle and downtown shops which are easily walkable.
You're going to get what you paid for here. Room is cheap and really need to be updated

Pros:

Management staff- so very nice and helpful!
Room was clean and bed comfy! Very few choices due to limitation of stations but of course that is no fault of on-site management.
Overall a very pleasant stay with the best part being the staff!

Pros:

We had some difficulties figuring out how to get the TV set up so we could watch it, and also we had to figure out how to get the channel listing to show.

We feel that this is something we should not have had to figure out. It should have already been set up so we could watch TV right away.

The room was good. Smaller than I expected. Some of the carpeting that runs up the wall was falling down. But other than that it was clean

Pros:

This hotel allows long term rentals and the owners live on property. There was a fight and police had to be called to escort a couple of people off the property. I was told by other locals it wasn’t uncommon. However. The bed was clean. I did a bed bug check and it came back clean. So it served my needs for one night stay. Although the outside of the building needs work. The room was clean. Just a little outdated and run down.

Room was clean, area around the hotel needs to be cleaned up-lots of trash in the parking lot. Very convenient to local stuff and great deal for the money spent.

Great place to stay. Don’t expect luxuries. It’s clean and looks much better once you get in your room. The outside could use some work. The ladies working there are very nice.

It’s a nice clean place. Could definitely use a face lift outside. The room was clean and served its purpose. Would definitely stay here again and recommend. The price is great and it was not a bad stay. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly.
