Chalet Kristy Motel, Clarkesville

rooms are nice andclean staff and manager great . .

We recently stayed there during Octoberfest and had 3 rooms with 2 Queen size beds reserved for 3 months. When we arrived they had our reservation all messed up. They ended up giving our party of 12 one room with 2 Queens and a cabin that was around back. The cabin had only one Queen, a pull out couch and a futon. They MADE US carry another futon from another cabin to our cabin!!! Instead of sleeping on a bed, I had to sleep on a lousy futon that felt more like metal bars. Not only that, but they charged us more money b/c they said that the cabin cost more than our normal rooms. You would at least think that b/c they messed up that we would have got a discount. Not to mention they couldn't even give us extra pillows or covers. It was a terrible experience! The location is great though.

I made my reservation at this motel two months in advance. They don't use computers, so they couldn't give me a confirmation number. Got there to check in--no record of my reservation. They didn't have a non-smoking, first floor room available for two nights. They sent me to the other property they own, the Quality Inn there, and they wouldn't honor the $52.12 rate for the second night they had previously given me. They wouldn't give me a first-floor room because a group had reserved the entire first floor months in advance. The room was poorly lighted; the frig hummed; garbage can wasn't emptied; coffee not refilled; "deluxe" continental breakfast very limited. Got no apology from the manager, who is over both motels. Will not stay at either place again.

THIS IS A NICE PLACE TO RELAX. MY SISTER AND I COME HERE EVERY OTHER YEAR ON OUR SISTER VAC. WE FEEL SAFE AND WORRY FREE. FITS OUR BUGET.... CLOSE TO SHOPS. ROOMS ARE NICE. SERVICE IS GREAT. WILL AND DO RECOMMAND THIS PLACE TO MY FRIENDS.

I just visited this place in this long weekend. The motel is very good maintained and very clean. Room was very comfortable. Bed was execellent. Service was excellent and Motel Staff is very kind and warm. I will go and visit again next year. Also recommending others to go and visit the place and have a great wonderful experience.

We stayed at the "other" inn. Not the one by the river. We were there for Octoberfest. The bed was nice and clean and slept great. The room it's self was clean as well. I enjoyed the amenities. We walked to all the places we wanted to visit. I am very "picky" abou were I stay and I would certainly stay there again. Matter of fact, I wish I was in the bed now! lol

My husband and i stayed there a year ago. And had a blast it is located in the middle of everything and we walk everywhere we went.We will stay here next time we go.

My wife & I stayed at the Chalet Kristy on July 27th as a getaway for my wife's birthday. I honestly believe the only thing keeping this hotel alive is location. The hotel is located near Main St close to Paul's Steakhouse & several other good restaraunts. it is also on the river but there are no private balconies. My wife & I are not high maintenance people by any means, but this hotel is way overpriced for the condition of this hotel. Let's start from the beginning. The room can only be secured by the bottom lock when leaving. The room had a musty smell that tried to be covered up by chemicals. Very dark & gloomy room, even with all the lights on. Our bed was suppose to be a pillow top, & if it was it was a flat pillow because the bed was as hard as a rock. Stains on the carpet. Texture on the bathroom ceiling was falling off. Mildew in bathroom. Now there was plenty of water pressure in the bathroom. I hope this helps anyone looking to stay in Helen. I won't waste my money there again. We will try different hotels there till we find one we like.

We loved the location everything we wanted to do was in walking distance.The peaceful walks and swinging near the river was just what we needed.To sum it up in one word RELAXING!!!! I can't wait to return. MR.and MRS.HARDIN
