Hsinchu

Across the street is Qingcao Lake, which is also nice to visit. 😄 The hotel has a heated waterslide pool, 😀 a ball pit, 😄 a kids' play area, ❤️ electric ride-on cars, 😃 and a nude hot spring, among other amenities. 👍 This really feels like a great place for adults to relax and kids to burn off energy. 😍😍😍 I'll let you in on a little secret: 💏 In the morning, there's also a breakfast party where you can take photos with cute mascots! 👏👏👏

This stay at the Hsinchu Howard Plaza Hotel included a room upgrade, offering a small living room, a refrigerator, and a microwave, making the space much larger. We arrived before 3 PM, but the room wasn't ready, so we had to go out and walk around, waiting to check in after 4 PM. Although the hotel has facilities like a pool and a gym, we couldn't use them before checking in, which was a bit of a shame.

Staying here again, I noticed the hotel's new renovations and ongoing improvements, which are commendable! From Hsinchu Train Station, go straight on Zhongzheng Road for about 6 minutes, pass the roundabout, and continue straight. When you see Zhongyang Road, turn right, and you've arrived. The location is superb! If you turn right and go straight on Zhongyang Road, which is right in front of the hotel, you can reach Hsinchu BigCity and Far Eastern SOGO. If you turn left and go straight, you can get to Dongmen Market, Central Market, and the bustling Hsinchu City God Temple commercial district. It's incredibly convenient for transportation, enjoying traditional famous snacks, and shopping. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring a washlet toilet, a separate shower and bathtub with safety grab bars, and eye-friendly reading lights on both sides of the bed. The bed and pillows are clean and soft, ensuring a good night's sleep.

Amazing! The room was much more spacious than I expected, with a clean and minimalist design. The entire sofa set was very relaxing! The front desk staff were very friendly and helped me carry my luggage upstairs! Breakfast: The taste was good, but unfortunately, there were limited options. Hotel location: In the bustling district! Cleanliness: The room was very clean, which is commendable!

The gym is located in a makeshift structure on the rooftop, which makes it a bit stuffy, and there isn't much equipment. Two out of the three treadmills were broken. If you park in the designated area, the hotel offers a parking subsidy of up to $260. We parked for 18 hours and didn't have to pay anything ourselves. The breakfast was excellent, even comparable to the one we had the night before at the Hsinchu Howard Plaza.

The service was excellent, and the location was very convenient. However, the underground parking was quite inconvenient, as it required manual guidance for entry and exit, and we also had to go to the counter to get our parking ticket stamped. The parking spaces were also divided by vehicle size, and smaller cars were assigned to difficult-to-park spots. I hope improvements can be made to the parking area, and that a license plate recognition system can be implemented for guests to enter and exit freely.

This was my first stay, and I was quite satisfied. The room was clean, and the surrounding area has great amenities. You can walk to Chenghuang Temple in just a few minutes. Although the hotel's parking spaces are limited, they do partner with nearby parking lots, allowing you to offset the parking fees. While the room rate isn't low, it's definitely worth recommending.

This is my favorite campsite; I've stayed here 4 times. The environment is clean and tidy, the campsites are spacious, and the prices are very affordable. The scenery is beautiful, and many pieces of equipment are available for rent, which is very convenient. Plus, the RVs are incredibly convenient and clean, and they come with complete facilities.

There are many car models to choose from, but there's only one staff member, so you might need a little patience when it's busy. Although they check the car before you take it, ours ran out of battery after just two minutes. 😂 The staff member helped us switch to another car and restarted the timer. Besides the plaza below, you can also drive up to the plaza in front of the library, which is great for kids to experience driving. Some car models even allow adults to ride along (though my dad said his knees were exploding with pain, only my short mom could squeeze in). Overall, the experience was pretty good, so why only four stars? Mainly because of the price. It's a bit higher than similar services elsewhere, and the green car actually doesn't run for 30 minutes; some of the faster ones only last about 25 minutes.
