It’s a popular hotel for functions such as business meetings, weddings, sport association events… etc.
We witnessed probably two weddings, countless business meetings, and most notably the wrestling association with athletes from all over the world.
Even with all the events, our rooms stayed very quiet.
The large lobby on first floor was nicely air conditioned with cool air. However, once you get into the elevator and any above levels, it was not conditioned until you enter a room. The laundry room and gym areas were air conditioned as well. It was hot in the elevators and walking through the long corridors to our hotel room.
The hotel is situated with many breakfast restaurants nearby in walking distance. We didn’t see the appeal to pay more than $600NTD per person for breakfast when I can easily find something to fill ourselves for less than $100NTD per person. Also the 7-11 in the hotel is super convenient for quick drinks and made to eat food on the go.
The buffet restaurant in the hotel offers the same selection at lunch and dinner, same prices too. We tried the dinner buffet one night and found it to be very enjoyable. Lots of seafood and variety of international cuisine. Thank goodness the restaurant was air conditioned even though it was open ceiling to above levels. We still felt relatively cool.
The hotel staff seems to speak pretty good English. I didn’t have a problem since I can communicate in Mandarin.
