Service Staff is very kind. Helped us reheat some food items we have for late night snack when we arrived late at night. Location is close to train station and some traditional markets. Parking lot is a bit strange.

Not sure if it's because we chose the single bed option, but the room was definitely less bright than what the picture shows. The walls were also quite thin, so we were able to hear our neighbors talk throughout the night; definitely doesn't make the room and the stay private. The complimentary breakfast was not bad; it helped us save a few bucks, but food is so cheap in Taiwan that you can forego the complimentary breakfast for something better. That said, the price you're paying, relative to what you get in a North American motel, is pretty good and works well if you just need a place to shower and sleep.

Good enough for short stay
Boutique hotel with no laundry facility nearby. Room was clean and comfortable, although smaller compared to other Taiwan cities with hotels I stayed in at around the same price. Street parking can be hard to come by, if you drive. Front desk clerks not the most attentive to customers, but were helpful in the end.

Terrible experience as staff forgot to assemble the extra bed (that we paid to add) and come with two thin 15cm dusty mattress. Understand that it is the peak season however staff did not show nor offer any apology for the mistake and tried to explain that they did not stated on the website. Breakfast was cold and oily and DIY style. Service was almost non-existent.

Good location but dissapointing facilities
Booked this hotel for family, hence the review was based on their description of the hotel, - Walking distance from the Tai Chung Main Station - Central air conditioner, only manage to control the mode instead of the degree, hence it was freezing during the night - Basin was congested - Toilet is equipped with transparent glass, resulted to minimal privacy - Breakfast was below satisfactory, compare to other hotels in Taiwan
