Valhalla Resort Hotel

Everything was top notch. The service, the food, the people, the accommodations. Treat yourself and book this stay.

Room was lovely. Bed comfortable. Gas fireplace in the room. Breakfast was awesome. Melissa took excellent care of us. David at the front desk welcomed us. Valhalla is a beautiful property!

My husband and I booked a trip to Georgia for his birthday in May 2024. We had decided on Valhalla Resort for a couple of reasons: 1. They had an early bird special for booking and 2. We thought it was gonna be fun, being that it was a resort. This resort was expensive and not worth the money, I would have stayed at a holiday inn. This place being called a resort is a stretch for me. As an avid traveler, I didn’t see any resort qualities, minus the valet parking and some complimentary champagne upon arriving. There is absolutely nothing fun to do on this resort. They do not have games, parties or even fun people working. There is a pickle ball court, tennis court (couldn’t find it) and golfing. But you can only do this during the hours of the pro shop being open. So in the evening when the sun is still out, you’re SOL to do anything. The spa is on premise, but from the looks of it, I wasn’t impressed and did not try any of the services. There was supposed to be a Memorial Day party, which got rained out, they tried to do it another day but it was a flop. Also nothing there was included, it was 13$ for a hamburger and a bag of chips, drinks weren’t included. Being that it was a “party” you’d think something would be free or there would be decorations, SOMETHING, anything, but there was no party, even the staff were bored just standing outside talking to each other. The pool was also dirty with debris and dead bugs floating, we stayed here 6 days and I didn’t see anyone clean the pool, not once. The food at the resort is just “ok”, it’s not worth it by any means and again it’s expensive. The young man Matthew at the sky bar was great for conversation and local recommendations, but the food-not worth it. It would be great if there was any type of complimentary breakfast, because there isn’t a lot around the resort. You can go into Helen, but it is a tourist nightmare. Our room smelled like rotten eggs every single night. I did not know why or what caused this, it seemed to be coming from the shower drain or the toilet. You can’t even close the toilet because there isn’t a lid and the smell came through the door. I did mention it to staff 2x, nothing was done. We had our toilet back up as well, we did tell staff about this and they fixed it. Unclear how long it took since we were gone all day. We did a safari tour with Drew, who was absolutely great. Very knowledgeable and funny, showing us around the property, in the hopes of seeing any wildlife. That was a bust, which is fine this isn’t a zoo, but I hoped to see bears that the resort talks about so frequently. But this tour was 50$ a person, which just seems like a stretch and I’m not sure the resort is even pushing these “safari tours”, but it was one of the only things to do. Other random things that bothered us: no microwave in the room, the doors are not key card access and they randomly lock these doors so then you have to go around the front and when you get back later than 11pm t

What can we say about Valhalla other than they make you feel welcomed from the minute you arrive! We loved it here! The room was large and comfortable and quiet! The staff was so accommodating including helping install my husband's handicap toilet. They have to be the nicest staff we have ever met anywhere and we have stayed at some really nice places including club level at the Ritz Carlton. The only amenity that I used while we stayed there was the spa where I got a very nice facial and pedicure. We are not golfers but there was a group of golfers there who were really enjoying themselves. The pool is small but the hotel does not have a lot of rooms so it is just the right size for the facility. The restaurant was very good and we treated our family to dinner there once and everyone thought it was excellent! We had breakfast at the bar most days and Melissa was so sweet and really took care of us! One thing I really loved was they have local artists work all through the hotel! We met the owners, the Murdochs and Miss Gayle is a local artist who encourages all local artist to participate in sharing their work with guests. As an artist, I really appreciate this as for most people it is hard to get your work out there! Bravo and we will definitely be back and highly recommend Valhalla Resort to anyone and our extended family and friends.

This property exceeded expectations! While it was a little closer to the main ***** in Helen than I realized, it felt very secluded and quiet. We had a great meal in the restaurant and excellent spa treatments. The room was spacious and well-appointed. We enjoyed the fireplace. Mini bar was well stocked and very affordable. We will definitely come back!

Beautiful hotel, clean, well organized, and a very friendly staff.
