Great location! Across from beautiful Beacon Hill Park!! Two blocks from downtown. Had a neighborhood power outage for 12 hours our last day. Management provided a half day refund as an accommodation for the inconvenience. Given all of that I would return to Helms, no problem.

Lovely room with all the amenities. Very nice bathroom as it had windows for great light and ventilation. Air conditioner was too noisy but if you don’t need it then best to turn it off at night.

We stayed in a suite at Helm's Inn with our 13-old grandson as part of a 10-day trip to British Columbia and it was our favorite lodging. The room was comfortable and well-laid out; the people on staff were very pleasant and efficient. We all give it 5 stars.

Mae the front desk lady checked us in, she was professional and welcoming. We were worried that we would have to carry our heavy luggages up and down the stairs knowing there was no elevator, but our room was on the second floor with ramps leading to our pathway so that was a plus. The dining area were adequately equipped with kitchenware and the separate sleeping space was comfortable. Highly recommend!
