The hotel is very dated, the room I stayed is very clean with very limited furniture. The bathroom is small but they provide all the necessary items and will replace towels every day.

Interesting place
Stayed as a couple. Interior design is special. The room starts to look a bit worn out. Good space for luggages. Loved the free snacks/cup noodles by the reception/elevator. It gives you the opportunity to try some snacks you do not usually buy.

clean, spacious, safe
location wise, it walkable to both formosa boulevard station & central park station. room is spacious n clean overall, comfortable stay. I liked that it quiet plc. I noted the coffee table n desk showed sign of wear and tear, theres even burnt mark n stained on coffee table. I guess thats the drawback of using white furnitures. most hotels I stayed have got a safe, however, there isn’t one in this hotel.

最感到棒的部分就是酒店的basement有一個寧靜的地方可以讓客人休閑的，而且這個休閑地有咖啡餅乾供給客人享用，所以很推薦這個飯店👍。

隔音普通，偶爾聽到人聲，熱水很快就熱，水量夠大，有合作的停車場。近捷運美麗島站。這是一年內第三次入住，很滿意。
