Hampton Inn Helen
The room was organized but it has an old smell. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was normal. The outside of the hotel had paint cans on the stairs, besides that the amenities looked clean and well maintained.

This was such a fun little hotel that I would absolutely stay in again. The view is fantastic, the rooms had that authentic Bavarian charm, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was good.
