Temple Bar Motel
This is probably the only website
where you can see the
interior accommodations at Temple Bar Motel, and we're here to tell you
they are clean accommodations. They are not fancy, but they are
clean and the air conditioners work awesome. When we visited
Temple Bar in July 2008 it was
107F outside during the day, but inside the room those air conditioners
would freeze you out if you didn't adjust them warmer. We had to
adjust our temperature control up to a comfortable 70F. Although
the room decor is from the 1970's, the beds are very comfortable.
We don't mean to discount the decor, only set your expectations
correctly. In our opinion the decor is just right because it's
comfortable, you don't have to worry about the kids breaking something.
The amount of room inside each room isn't your typical hotel room
either, it's MUCH bigger than usual so you aren't always "stepping on
either other." The extra large room simply make things feel more
"at home".
All rooms have two
full size beds, no options for queen or king. Roll away beds can
also be brought in for a small fee if you need a
third small bed. The rooms come with a good shower/tub, toilet, sink,
clothes
rod in the bathroom and a wood bench appropriate for wet things to drip
dry. There is no hair dryer, no refrigerator, no microwave, and no
coffee pot provided.
There is a 19" TV with 4 Las Vegas
channels, table and chairs, and a dresser and mirror. The room
measures about 15'X30', a good size to hold a bunch of stuff, like skis,
wakeboards, ice chests, etc. Each room has 2 doors, with one that can
open into an adjacent room on the other side of the motel. This provides
easy access between two rooms of identical size and accommodations if
needed.
If you don't know the folks in the room, simply leave it locked and
you're safe.
The lake view rooms have tables just outside the
room overlooking the lake. This is very nice and worth the extra
$15/room. There is no smoking allowed in the rooms, so you'll
often find people sitting at these table smoking, and there are ashtrays
provided. You also get to park in right in front of your room in
case you like to keep your stuff nearby. This also makes it easy to haul
your ice chest in and out of the motel room.
There are no BBQ's allowed near the motel, totally
forbidden, even gas powered portables. You may want to consider
bringing an electric skillet for in-room cooking of pancakes, burgers,
etc. Otherwise the resort restaurant provides good food for
reasonable prices such as burgers, fries and 4 kinds of pizza.
Be
forewarned, the motel can be booked up far in advance so call to check
availability. 2008 has been easier than past years to get rooms
because the cost of fuel has reduced visitation, so don't assume you
can't get a room with short notice.
Wireless Connection
At the check-in office they have a wireless
connection available to hookup to the Internet for free. You cannot get
reception from the motel rooms, you need to be sitting in the office
where you check in. Some folks were able to pick up the signal at
the restaurant next door, but it didn't work for us. Others go
into the bar which is closer to the access point. TIP, when
searching for the access point NO NOT try to connect to the one named
Temple Bar (as logical as that sounds). Use the one named "Linksys
N".
Here's
where you find most folks hanging out at dusk, waiting to take in the
awesome sunsets as the sun goes down. Seeing a Temple Bar sunset in person is an
incredible experience. Many boaters wind down the day with drinks
and food at these tables just outside their rooms to talk about their
experiences during the day. Other are making plans for the next
day to ski, fish, or wakeboard.
Fishing at Temple
Bar
Fishing is great from Temple Bar Marina simply
because of less people on this part of the lake. The resort is
very fisherman friendly. You'll find a fish cleaning station at the top
of the ramp to accommodate cleaning your catch. The nearby ice
machine provides you with the means to take your catch home too.
