Great 4.0
The RV camping area has gravel, and there are also wiggle cars for rent. You need to purchase a key first, which costs $100 per car, plus a $50 deposit, totaling $150. After use, lock the car back up and return the key, which is a bit inconvenient. The track has a slight incline, and with kids vigorously using them, some cars were damaged on the way back and discarded. We also ordered a BBQ set and asked the staff to defrost it in advance, but it was still frozen when we received it. The mattress was a bit hard, but the water bottle and amenities inside the RV were very good and clean.

Facilities: The surrounding environment appears slightly cluttered, and more organization could be done in terms of cleanliness. The bathroom facilities are fully functional.
Experience: The night view is great, you can see a lot of stars. The heating pad inside the tent is very comfortable to use in winter. The meals are simple, but the amount of vegetables in the hot pot at night could be increased, or offered as an add-on for an extra charge. More choices for dipping sauces could be added. The service staff is friendly.

A great place to relax and get away from it all ❤️ The owner is also very kind. Even though I arrived late, she was paying attention to our arrival. I would just suggest arriving before the sun goes down 🛬 because the mountain road up there has no streetlights and is quite dangerous ⚠️

Although it requires driving to get there, it's truly one of the top choices for family-friendly hotels. It has complete family facilities, including a pool, playground, and more. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are good for sleeping, and the breakfast is delicious. There's nothing to complain about.

Great 4.0
Overall, the experience of staying at the Lakeshore Hotel Hsinchu - Metropolitan was pretty good when booked through Klook. Compared to the Lakeshore Hotel Tainan, the room type and breakfast scale are slightly smaller, but the hotel is located in the city center, making transportation and access to amenities very convenient. The buffet breakfast was generally good, but it's a bit of a shame that it's only served until 10:00 AM and there's no beef soup available. There were a lot of people during the stay, and the underground parking lot easily gets full, requiring parking at a partner parking lot, which is something to be aware of.

The hotel is centrally located, and parking is relatively convenient, though you'll have to pay out of pocket (around $380 NTD for one night, parking calculated until the next day). Hmm... The hotel uses automated check-in, but there are still staff available (we were able to borrow umbrellas when it rained that day). We stayed in a double room, which was quite spacious. The bathroom is a bit outdated (but I'm happy as long as there's a bathtub), but it's clean and tidy. The street view from the window is lovely. My only minor point is that the room is quite large, so why is the TV so small? Just a personal opinion, haha. Overall, the price of just over a thousand NTD makes it a pretty good value for money.

Another stay at the Howard Plaza Hotel Hsinchu. The service staff is very friendly, the breakfast is plentiful, and delicious. The hotel also has recreational facilities and activities. However, the sauna equipment is too old and really needs renovation.

Absolutely a perfect score for me! 💯 The service is just outstanding.☺️❤️❤️ Whether it's the front desk staff or the breakfast service staff, everyone is really nice.❤️❤️ Location-wise, it's closer to Zhubei, but you can reach FE21 Mega in less than ten minutes by Ubike, and there's a PX Mart supermarket near the hotel, which I personally find quite convenient. The room and key specifications show that it was once a glorious establishment, the space is really huge, and the bathtub is so comfortable to soak in. The Sapindus shampoo is quite nice. In addition, I personally love the rustic feel of the wooden furniture.❤️ And the view from the seventh floor is beautiful.❤️ Overall, it's a hotel I would definitely consider staying at again.👍👍

The hotel is great overall, and the environment is super clean.
Although the check-in process was messed up by Klook's booking system, with the order being transferred without providing the hotel with the transfer code, and Klook's customer service took half an hour to resolve, the receptionist was very patient and helpful, with excellent service 👍
