Relax and take a dip the hot springs around the Jiaoxi area or go on a hike at Tang-Wei-Gou park before rewarding your tired feet at a public hot spring. Head to The Jimmy Square at Yilan City, a top attraction, filled with beautiful illustrations and statues of characters drawn by famous Taiwanese illustrator, Jimmy Liao. Take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy the greeneries around Luodong Forestry Culture Park, an area that played a crucial role in the timber industry.

The tent equipment is very new, the service staff is also very considerate, they turned on the air conditioner before we arrived, so we didn't feel hot at all. There are also small games for us to challenge, barbecue and breakfast are very rich, the downside is that there are too many bugs in the tent🥺

Great 4.0
The front desk staff was friendly, and the cats were very cute and affectionate. However, the soundproofing wasn't great. Guests in the next RV were talking loudly and screaming outside around 3 AM. I hope you can remind guests or create a policy about not making loud noises, yelling, drinking, or disturbing other guests late at night/early in the morning. Other than that, the facilities and services were excellent! 👍🏻

Before leaving, I forgot to double-check the reservation time, and went straight there. Luckily, the lady was still in Jiaoxi. She came 10 minutes later to style our hair, apply light makeup, and coordinate it with the kimono. She even taught us poses for photos! A great experience.

As comfortable as always, but with a slight hiccup. The front desk didn't remind me before the time was up, and I fell asleep so comfortably. After receiving a call, I was told that I was over the time limit. I hurriedly packed up in less than 10 minutes, and then the front desk called again to say that it had been more than 20 minutes, and a surcharge of $500 would be added if I wanted to renew... Although I wasn't charged in the end, it left me feeling a bit uncomfortable. I hope they can strengthen their training in the future. If exceeding the time limit is intentional, there's nothing to say, but the fact is, they failed to notify me, so they shouldn't blame the customer.

Fantastic 5.0
I stayed at another Orient Suites Hotel a few months ago, and the decor, how new it was, the cleanliness, and the service were all much better than my experience at this hotel... I booked this hotel because the family room at Orient Suites was fully booked. I thought it would be okay since it's the same group and the price is similar, but as soon as I walked in, I felt the difference was too great...

This time, I chose Mu Jiaoxi Hotel for the hot springs mainly because I was interested in playing the SWITCH facilities. Since you can only enter and exit once, we had lunch, then went to the hot springs first. After the hot springs, we went to play SWITCH. There are many SWITCH consoles. After 3:00 PM, there were almost no people playing. There's racing, Mario Party, etc. The environment is very good. This time we went on a weekday. The hot spring area isn't too big, with a limit of 50 people, but it's okay just for hot springs. It's best to go on a weekday when there are fewer people. Next time, I'll have to check it out on a weekend to see if it's crowded.

Convenient transportation, you can drive and park directly at the hotel. Although the indoor hot spring pool is not very large, the overall room design is simple and elegant, making people feel very comfortable. The service staff are friendly and enthusiastic ❤️

Made a last-minute decision to soak in a hot spring in Jiaoxi and quickly found Smoking Rock. The receptionist was super nice – great attitude and very thoughtful. Highly recommend coming here for a hot spring! Very comfortable~~ The hot spring rooms are quite clean!
