Nice location

Was very pleased with the location. Was in in walking distance to everything. The place was nice and clean, a/c was cold, and we had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Both rooms had nice big TV's and comfortable sleeping. Full kitchen was nice. Would recommend and would consider staying again!

Great place

The loft itself was new and clean and spacious. Comfy bed too. Helen was very crowded but we headed up to the mountains nearby.

Great Location!

I really enjoyed my stay at Alpine Lofts. The location was in the perfect spot to be in walking distance of everything. The only thing that would have made it better was a private parking spot bc I have MS and parking was very limited and a dresser. I like to unpack my bags and without a dresser, my clothes were spread on the little table in the bedroom. Me and my partner really enjoyed our stay otherwise.

Great Place

A4 was very spacious and clean! The location was perfect! Our only complaints were parking (not a lot of parking around the building…all the parking was taken when we arrived..we had to pay $10 to park 2 blocks away) and the smell going up to the room was horrible (I think the smell from the Cuban restaurant was filling the hallway). Other than that, we had a great stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

The check in/out process was so easy. The location is PERFECT, and the property is so clean. You can walk to everything in Helen. Parking is also right there which is so nice. We really enjoyed our stay there. Our only complaint is if you have loud neighbors you’re going to hear them, we had a noise machine for at night and that was our saving grace. Overall such a nice place though.

Spacious loft apartment

Lovely space and perfect location. Was surprised no toiletry items as one would expect in a hotel. Not a deal breaker with Betty’s country store a 5 minute walk but small touches go far at this price point. Wine glasses would have also been a nice touch especially since the unit had a wine bottle Opener and all the nearby wineries.

Great location and very clean

The location was perfect for walking around and the loft was very clean. The beds were very comfortable as well. The only thing we wish it had was a toaster which I know sounds silly, but we like to cook breakfast in the places we stay to save money.

Great place and location

Everything was in walking distance. The only thing that bugged us was a outside light that glared through the blinds. They should probably put a curtain up there but everything was brand new and comfortable

Great locale

Location and quality of Condo were really great! There was some construction going on next door and had a hard time finding the place. Other than those two things I would definitely stay here again!
