Temple Place Suites
The maintenance of the room was very poor: stains, rust, dust, wobbly taps and towel racks, old paint, etc. Cleanliness: stains on carpet, dust everywhere, long hairs on pillows. Upon check in the room was organized, but no deep cleaning was apparent.

Crescent Suites Hotel
The bed was really comfortable, I'm normally picky about hotel pillows but these were nice and not totally flat. Room was clean and the kitchen was well stocked (although I didn't need to use it) Would stay here again!
