The lobby is somewhat deceiving. The lobby is grand, victorian style, and elegant. They put too much style on the lift – with charming wooden wall and relaxing classic music. The room is a bit disappointing with its old-green theme and really old lay out. The location is a bit far from the city center. I think they should upgrade the rooms

The good part of this hotel are free internet, friendly staff; and the room amenties are full-service and clean. Other than that, it is just an average tourist focus hotel.

This hotel does NOT have gym, no self-service laundry, and mimimal English speaking channels. That can be a bumper for long-term stay. The hallway can stand better cleaning, and the breakfast is kind of below par for me. It is near local area but can be far from train station and downtown. So be aware.

Just in case you need food, there is a McDonald about a block on the left from the hotel. As for local food, go to the road from the hotel, turn right and then turn right on the first light, there are some restaurants there.

This hotel gave me a pretty room with nice carpet and furniture. There were full amenities in the bathroom. There was even a scale, slippers and extra pillows. The hotel was quiet, but right in the middle of everything. It's rated 4 stars by Taiwan standards, but I would give it a 3* rating by USA standards. It's not perfect, but it was very nice and almost anyone would be happy here. They offer non-smoking rooms as well. The TV had 4 local channels and pay per view movies only; nothing was in English. The power goes off when you leave the room, even power to the mini-refrigerator. I'm not sure what the rate was, because it was included as part of a 5 day tour around the island.
