My stay at the Helgeson Place Hotel was very comfortable and to their credit they have the best beds of any hotel I've been in during the past few years. Friendly staff and centrally located in walking distance from shops and eateries made this an easy choice for our fishing vacation.

Most unique hotel I've stayed in! Our favorite was how spacious and CLEAN the room was! And we also LOVED the Old Style New York Elevator 😄
Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
