This was my first stay. The door uses an old-fashioned key, which shows its age. The room and bathroom were both very spacious and extremely clean. The only issue was that the air conditioning was very cold and couldn't be adjusted, so I turned it off completely that day. There are also many restaurants nearby, and it's close to Ah-Chang Meatballs.

The hotel is old, but it's been renovated and is very clean! The towels especially feel like they were newly purchased, and the bedsheets are very smooth. The double beds in the standard quadruple room are quite large. The downside is that if one person moves even slightly, the whole bed shakes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The room is very large and has a children's playroom, hot spring bath, gym, and bedrock bath. It's great that there are plenty of parking spaces and they are easy to park in, and it's very close to National Highway No. 1 interchange! There are snacks, orange juice, and Heineken available for free on the second floor. We stayed during Chinese New Year and there was also a simple midnight snack, water chestnut cake and corn porridge.

The room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and quick. The hotel facilities included a children's play area, and they even prepared snacks and drinks for adults to enjoy while waiting ๐Ÿ‘. The gym and sauna were great. The breakfast was diverse and delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹. The bathroom water temperature was stable and the water pressure was strong. The bidet toilet was a nice touch, and I especially have to praise the hair dryer โ€“ it was the first time I've used such a powerful and effective hair dryer ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. The bed and pillows were just the right firmness. Overall, it's a great hotel that I would want to stay at again ๐Ÿ‘.

The price is affordable, so breakfast is not included. The rooms are old but clean. There are many shops and restaurants nearby, within walking distance! There is a partner parking lot across the street. You can buy tickets from the front desk and redeem them. The front desk staff is friendly!

The location is great. There is a paid parking lot across the street, and you can park on the white lines nearby. There's a PX Mart, POYA, and 7-11 diagonally across the street, and the Changhua County Police Department is right next door, so it's very safe ๐Ÿ’ฏ. The front desk staff are very nice, and if you tell them about something you need, they will handle it immediately~~~ The cost-performance ratio is super high.

Breakfast: Each time I go, they offer a different special breakfast, which is amazing. Hotel location and convenience: Very close to the high-speed rail, very convenient. Cleanliness: Overall clean, but there are quite a few dust mites on the bed, and I get allergies when I lie down.
