Guest Reviews
- John (8/5): - Pay me
- jerry (2/5): Don't go there. - I have used Hotel.com for many years now. The reviews are always spot on. This is the first time the reviews were wrong. This place is a dump. I would never suggest that anyone stay there. From the junk laying around the property to the unkept rooms. Worst place I have ever stayed.
- Melisande (2/5): - This property is an older motel , poorly maintained, which primarily is renting to people who look like they are living there on a long term basis. The room was dirty, with paint peeling off the walls, outlets and the A/C unit falling out of brackets and a shower with no hot water. It is NOT the property that is shown on the Expedia website Those photos must have been taken years ago.
- Sean (10/5): - Surprisingly clean and nice for the price. Enjoyed having a kitchenette for our work related stay. Cant get any better in all of price or helper for workers. The only downside is they are always slammed with reservations sometimes weeks out. Would stay here again if I have work in town.
- Yvonne (10/5): - All was great!
- Jeremy (10/5): - The check-in was ideal, with the front desk staff quickly and efficiently getting my information, giving me my key, and letting me know about the area around the motel. This is an economy room with no frills, however everything a traveler needs is there, and it was clean and inviting
- Vaibhav Kanth (10/5): - Nice place to stay for the night
- Ernest (10/5): - The service was top notch. Angel provided impeccable service and professionalism to me and my entire family during our stay.
- Boxuan (10/5): - great price, train might be loud in the night
- Joseph (10/5): - This is a nice little motel. I needed an inexpensive place to stay overnight while I was on my way to the Uinta Mountains. Nothing fancy, but the room was clean and for an older motel, it was modern and very acceptable. Check-in was easy and fast and the staff was helpful. I would stay here again.
- Donna (10/5): - Very clean room. Huge bathroom.
- Richard (8/5): - Older but clean and quiet. Great staff!
- Kitty (8/5): Great value and nice enough to stay again - The basics were all good. The location was quiet and there was a popular food truck nearby. On the negative side, there were paint drips on the floor and fridge.
- Bret (10/5): - was good price
- Alex (8/5): Helper Utah - Great little Motel the food truck out front is excellent.
- Edward (8/5): - -
- Peter (8/5): Excellent Value - The motel is very convenient and close to a few restaurants and the downtown area. Helper Beer (brewery and restaurant) is just a block away. The motel itself was clean but well worn. It is in the process of refurbishment as far as I can observe. The room had an electric fireplace, microwave, and refrigerator. For the price this is an excellent value. I would stay there again.
- Peter (8/5): Great little artsy town with lots of trains - Angel the manager went out of his way to get the television working
- James (10/5): - Clean modern bathroom, comfortable bed, friendly owner and a good taco truck right outside.
- Leland (10/5): - It was precisely what was advertised, and for the price, exactly what one should expect. It was not luxurious. The room was very clean, and the staff were very friendly.
- DELAINA L (6/5): Helper Stay - This charming motel is nestled just off the highway. It’s in remarkably good shape for an old property. The beds aren’t the greatest and my mattress seemed crooked. It’s pretty rustic in that the heat source is an industrial space heater with an electric fireplace for ambiance. If you need an inexpensive place to stay it’s great. Do bring earplugs unless you're used to being woken up by the sound of trains at 3 AM. The last sentence has zero reflection of the property, just a warning and to be clear, I would stay there again. It is super clean, could be a sweet little boutique motel with a few minor adjustments.
- Clyde (10/5): - Small, but quaint rooms. Great checkin, and a family oriented place.
- Lena (10/5): - Warm room, soft beds, Hot showers. Good customer service, polite, nice attendant. Some bugs on the ceiling, but didnt bother us. Beats camping. Thank you so much.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Cheap, but dismal. - Note the mixed reviews, which may have to do with exactly which room someone had and how much they appreciated the taco truck in the parking lot. My room was completely run down -- bedroom window fell out of the frame when I tried to open it, electrical outlet was loose, everything is worn, stained and dented. Dead insects all over the floor and windowsill. Check-in was slow and confused. Wifi worked and bed was OK. Didn't feel unsafe.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nostalgia - The room was clean, and it was nice to have a kitchen. Loved the quaintness of the hotel and its outside amenities. I would definitely stay here again.
- Mike (2/5): - This place is a total dump.
- Paul (6/5): - Although booked through Expedia they had no booking on their system but did prepare a room for us. Whole parking area and outside some rooms were a mess nothing like any photos on websites. Bedding, towels etc were clean and bed very comfortable. Great location for a stroll into the great little town of helper
- Merwin (10/5): Hospitable hotel - I had a uhaul trailer and the manager came out and guided me into the parking space even though it was dark.
- marietta (6/5): - It seems like they may have been apartments? Train tracks are nearby, scared our grand daughter when train came through. Its a last min reservation i made for a trip to SLC. Better to be safe then to fall asleep on the road or park off the road somewhere. Its not the hilton but served us fine.
- Erica (6/5): - Facility needs to be upgraded. I would believe what we paid, and what we would get! At least, the floor in the bedroom was cleaned. Temperature in room was good and comfortable in this cold weather. Some noise from the local train could be heard but not for long. I guess it was because we arrived site late and left very early in the morning for Moab... ect. The beds were ok to sleep on. Staff were very nice. Especially the little boy who was very pleasant and sweet in receiving us in the parking lot. I liked the fridge. It really kept our foods fresh for the next day journey. Staff good attitude sure make you feel very welcomed regardless.
- Peter (8/5): - Clean, cheap, friendly, good tacos. Not showy.
- James (10/5): Riverside Motel - A cute little old-fashioned classic motel with really friendly management and they’re fixing up the parking lot right now so that it will be much improved soon. The rooms are also all being reworked. It was a nice comfortable stay for my wife and myself. We will be back.
- Donald (6/5): Low cost, not modernized. - There was a lot of construction going on and there was what looked like more permanent residents in part of the motel with their personal effects outside like barbecues, equipment, etc.
- Darlene (6/5): - Water was slow
- Reanna (4/5): Maybe find something else. - Wow, and not in a good way. The service is as fine, but we pulled in late at night and were shocked at how run down it was. I should have expected it, given the price, but there was nothing else around. Definitely better than nothing, but would not do it again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good value, small town - The hotel was clearly under renovation as my room did not have a trash can (an oversight?). The newly redone parts of the room were quite nice, including the bathroom. Loved the in-room fireplace. The downside to this hotel is that it is near the railroad tracks and the train came through town several times during the night - it was loud! Good value for the money paid.
- Dan (8/5): - Remodeled. No carpet.
- pete (8/5): Excelent Price!! - NIce helpful people in old old place - needs some work- internet good- nice kitchen but simple, some issues with shower valve and door knob. Price was excelent!!!!
- Guy (10/5): - Ol and handy
- Layne (10/5): - Don’t let the exterior fool you. Great rooms with a great price. Very friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The man checking me in at midnight was so friendly. I really appreciated this after a long drive. Maybe he was the owner?
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service. Next to the river and close to downtown.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Good basic accommodations. Only 200 feet from the train tracks, so a bit loud at night.
- Paul (10/5): Awesome hotel in Helper, Utah - The hotel was very nice. The manager was very accommodating and helpful with us even tho’ we came in late. The room was freshly remodeled and was very comfortable. The showers were fabulous. Will definitely stay there whenever we pass through Helper, Utah.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The beds were comfortable, and the room is cheap. Be advised that the rooms are right next to the train tracks, and the air conditional is very noisyl
- Russell (8/5): Relaxing stay in Helper - The owner/manager is very friendly. Nice and relaxing room with fresh and comfortable beds. The kitchen setup is great. Overall, I can't complain and would be happy to return to this property.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It is an older hotel that is being updated. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the clerk that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. A bit shabby, but you can tell they are working hard to make it nicer.
- Pat (8/5): Home of Balancing Rock - This is an older motel in the process of updating. Our room was cozy, but not cramped. Very clean, great shower, good TV & WIFI. Good location. Helpful & kind staff. Within easy exploring distance of historic Helper, Utah. Would stay here again.
- Geoffrey (10/5): No nonsense and very cozy - Rooms are very cozy and the staff was friendly. Very basic amenities, but great for the price.
- Michael (8/5): Cheap place to stay in Helper. - The motel is a bit run down, but it is extremely affordable. So, if you need a cheap place to stay in Helper, this is it.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Space heater didn't work. Neighbors noisy. Train noisy.
- Laurie (10/5): - Very nice, accommodating, nice room, good price. Quiet and clean
- KC (8/5): - Quiet little place, good for a one-night stopover on a long road trip. Staff was incredibly pleasant and friendly. Room was old and in slight disrepair, but VERY clean (linens/towels looked nearly new). Good for the cost.
- John (2/5): The pits! - It was an absolute dump. The only thing worse than staying there overnight is staying there 2 nights!!!!!
