Temple accommodation from AU$113

A

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. There were some water spots on the ceiling and a few other things that could use updating but it looked like they were in the process of making it really nice. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

Basic, simple, but clean and well-maintained property at an excellent price. It is of the older "motel style" design with the rooms opening directly to the outdoors. This worked out really well for our trip, as we had come to Temple for the solar eclipse. We were able to set up our folding chairs and camera tripods right outside our room. The bed was comfortable, the shower worked well with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. We were on the bottom floor, but we experienced no problems at all with noise from either upstairs or next door. The free breakfast was basic, but adequate for that morning cup of coffee or a little something in my stomach to hold me until my late-sleeping spouse got up. A workout room in a separate building provides access to a small, well-maintained outdoor pool. We did not get to try the pool, as it was April and the water was still quite chilly. The location is along a major highway, but the office/lobby building is closest to the freeway, while the actual rooms are set back a ways, so that highway noise was not an issue. The nearby businesses are mostly car dealerships, which do not stay open very late, making for a very quiet environment at night. There is an excellent Mexican restaurant right next to the hotel, which seemed to be be very popular, and which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All in all, a good budget choice for a clean, quiet place to sleep.
