The environment is clean, and the service staff is very friendly. The parking spaces are also large. The breakfast is rich and diverse, with many kinds of fruit. The only thing is that breakfast is only until 10 am. If it could be later, it would be great for travelers who work until midnight, so they could get up later to eat breakfast.

My first stay was pretty good. The room was clean and tidy, and the Xiaomeixi [AI assistant] was a nice touch. I would definitely visit again if I have the chance. The night view from the lobby was quite beautiful, and the ocean view from the room during the day was also super pretty and very relaxing. The breakfast and dinner at the Yinglun Restaurant were great and delicious, definitely worth recommending.

This stay truly exceeded my expectations and provided a very pleasant accommodation experience! Firstly, the hotel's location is extremely convenient, with easy access to transportation, nearby attractions, and a wide variety of restaurant choices, which is a major plus for first-time visitors to the city. The hotel exterior is impressive, and the interior environment is clean and elegant. As soon as you step into the lobby, you can feel the quality and comfort. The service staff, Jia-Ru Pan, was very friendly and professional, providing detailed information about the hotel facilities and nearby attractions, which made me feel valued. The room was spacious and bright, with impeccable cleanliness, a soft and comfortable bed, and complete amenities, with great attention to detail. The breakfast was rich and varied, offering both Chinese and Western options. The restaurant environment was comfortable, and the service was very attentive, putting me in a good mood to start the day. The hotel's facilities are also complete, including a well-maintained gym, swimming pool, and spa, which made me feel very secure and relaxed while using them. Overall, the Fullon Hotel deserves praise for both its hardware facilities and service quality. It is a quality hotel that I would visit again and recommend to friends. Thank you to all the service staff for giving me such a great stay!

Service: The receptionist was proactive and enthusiastic, and their attitude was very polite, which didn't make you feel nervous. Breakfast: It's been a long time since I've had such an appetite for a hotel buffet breakfast. The dishes were very distinctive, and I wanted to try every one of them.

Everything was great, but the restaurant seating and shuttle bus procedures were confusing. To save the staff time, they prefer to have a group of customers wait at the entrance. Even though the shuttle bus arrived 15 minutes before departure, customers were told to come back in 10 minutes to get a queue number.

After arriving at the hotel, first scan the QR code to register for the check-in queue. Then, you can park your car and enjoy the facilities. Wait for a phone call to go to the front desk for check-in. Once your room is ready, a shuttle will take you to your accommodation area. The room itself is very spacious and clean. Dinner was great with main courses that catered to most tastes, and we ate until we were stuffed. Breakfast wasn't quite to our family's liking, but thankfully there was a buffet bar with other options. As for the recreational facilities, some required registration and queuing, which made it hard to fully enjoy them when crowded... a bit of a shame. Overall, we were very satisfied and would love to visit again.

The hotel has a fantastic location, surrounded by souvenir shops. You can easily walk to restaurants and drink vendors. There's even a hair salon across the street where you can get a relaxing hair wash. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean, with two sinks, making it convenient for families to use at the same time. The only drawback is that things are a little high up for me (I'm 155cm tall), so I have to stand on my tiptoes a bit to reach. They also offer snacks from afternoon to evening.

The hotel is less than a 5-minute drive from the train station! The transportation convenience is excellent! However, there are only a few motorcycle parking spaces at the entrance! The hotel rooms are clean and tidy. Even if you stay for two consecutive days, they will help with cleaning and replenishing amenities! The breakfast ingredients are abundant, and they say the late-night snack time can be used as dinner! The first-floor snack bar can be used for a short rest! But I hope they can extend the time a bit more! However, perhaps because the hotel has many rooms, there will be tour groups staying, so be prepared for the hotel to be crowded!

Although it's an old house that's been renovated, it's full of youthful vibes, and the environment is very clean. There's a comfortable common area outside. We booked all 6 private rooms for a family trip, so the whole family could play together, but everyone had their own space to sleep 👍
