Stayed for four consecutive nights, and although the hotel has its shortcomings, its advantages are enough to outweigh it. I will consider staying here again next time I come to Taichung. Pros ~ The location is extremely convenient. Night market stalls, restaurants, and convenience stores are within easy reach. ~The ladies at the front desk are very polite. ~We stayed in a room on a high floor and in a corner. The room was well soundproofed, quiet and comfortable. ~The room is quite large~The air conditioning is very powerful~The shower in the bathroom is very powerful, and there is also a large bathtub for taking a bath. There is a TV above, so you can watch it while soaking. ~Equipped with Japanese-style flush toilet. ~Welcome drinks and snacks are provided in the room, but they are only available on the first night of stay. ~Snacks and drinks are available in the lobby in the afternoon, and there are also children's games for leisure. ~The breakfast options are rich and taste very good, especially steamed fish, chicken steak, and seafood pasta with white sauce. Disadvantages ~ The road near the hotel is very busy, so be careful when crossing the road. ~Some equipment has a sense of age, for example, the toilet door cannot be closed tightly and automatically pops open, and the pillow bag is also stained. ~The power supply system for the room card and room card fails from time to time, and we have to contact the front desk every time to solve the problem. ~The bed is too bouncy.

Higjly Recommended if you like to eat pineapple tarts/biscuits. You get to eat what you make. The session is about 20min and the dough and fillings were ready when you began. Very good experience! Remember to call and make your appointment early!
