This was an 8-day stay, and overall, the service and attention to detail were very impressive, offering excellent value for money!
**📍 Transportation and Location**
On March 31st, I took the Taichung Metro to 'Wenhua Senior High School Station' and found that the hotel is very close to the metro station. There are also bus stops nearby, making the surrounding area very convenient. If you need parking, the hotel offers free parking for cars and motorcycles, just remember to inform them in advance after booking or by phone.
**🛎️ Service and Lobby Facilities**
Upon arriving at the entrance, as the main door isn't automatic, a front desk staff member immediately and enthusiastically came to help open the door and assist with my luggage, refusing any tips. This left a fantastic first impression! The lobby is spacious, simple, and stylish, integrated with the dining area. The best part is the abundant free self-service bar! There are various snacks, cookies, instant noodles, a microwave, water dispenser, an assortment of tea bags, freshly brewed coffee beans, and mixed beverages. Even before check-in, you can comfortably relax here. The lobby also has public restrooms, which is very convenient.
**🛏️ Guest Rooms and Public Areas**
The guest room corridor has a large water dispenser (offering ice-cold, warm, and hot water). Upon entering my room, I found it to be very spacious, with city street views outside the window. The room had its own free Wi-Fi, and it was meticulously clean and tidy.
On the 9th floor, there are coin-operated laundry and drying services. Although the equipment isn't top-notch, the charges are reasonable, and they generously provide free laundry detergent. This was extremely practical for my long stay.
**🛁 Bathroom Facilities (Pros and Suggestions)**
✅ **Pros**: Equipped with a washlet toilet, non-slip mats, and floor cloths. Non-slip grab bars are also installed on both sides of the bathtub, showing great attention to safety details. Furthermore, the placement of the toilet paper is superb! You can reach it by simply turning to your left-back while sitting on the toilet, without needing to stand up at all.
❌ **Cons and Suggestions**: The bathroom doesn't have a wet/dry separation. It would be better if a shower curtain could be added. Additionally, there are no waterproof covers on the power outlets in the toilet. This could be dangerous if accidentally touched with wet hands. I hope the hotel can look into improving this.
**💡 Other Minor Incidents and Services**
The double bed I slept on was made by combining two single mattresses, and I noticed a lack of support when sleeping on the seam in the middle. Also, the air conditioning in the room could only adjust the fan speed, not the temperature. As I tend to feel hot, I reported this to the front desk. The hotel staff were exceptionally quick and efficient, providing an electric fan, which I used in conjunction with the strongest AC setting. This perfectly solved the stuffiness issue – excellent crisis management! Thumbs up!
Overall, the minor flaws don't overshadow the positives. The staff's enthusiasm and the abundant free snack bar are huge bonuses! I highly recommend this hotel to travelers visiting Taichung for leisure or business.
