Top hotels in Templeton
The Business Inn
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and much larger than I expected. The location is great, so close to many fun restaurants and bars. I didn’t eat breakfast because I had plans for brunch but I popped in to see it and there seemed to be a lot of options.

Hotel decor and systems (i.e. use of keys instead of cards) are dated, but the property is clean and the staff are friendly; a good value for money.
