Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a decent stay overall, with a very spacious room and a large TV screen, which added a nice touch. It was a bit disappointing that the room decor didn't match the 'Forbidden City' theme, and the check-in time was quite late at 6 PM, though I managed to check in a bit earlier. The distance from the front desk to my room was a little inconvenient, especially for someone not driving. Breakfast options were quick and easy with choices like McDonald's and KFC, making it quite convenient.
My stay was quite pleasant overall. The room was spacious and featured a large TV, which is a definite plus. However, I was a bit let down by the room decor not being as themed as I expected. The check-in time initially posed an inconvenience, but after some discussion, I was able to check in earlier. Breakfast options were convenient with choices from McDonald's or KFC, but it would have been nice to have more variety. While the cleanliness was acceptable, the distance to my room from the check-in area was somewhat far, especially for someone who wasn't driving.
I had a decent stay at this motel. The room was spacious for the standards here, and I really appreciated the large TV screen. However, I was a bit let down by the room decor, which didn't feel particularly luxurious. Also, the distance from the front counter to the room could be a hassle, especially for non-drivers. Breakfast options were a nice touch, though I wish there were more choices available.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the room was surprisingly spacious for a Taiwan motel, and I appreciated being able to check in a little earlier than the standard time with some negotiation. However, the decor didn't quite meet my expectations of the 'Forbidden City' style, and the distance from the front counter to the room was a bit inconvenient. The cleanliness was acceptable, and I enjoyed the breakfast options of McDonald's or KFC, but overall, there were some aspects that could use improvement.
I had a decent stay at the motel, as the room was noticeably spacious for Taiwan standards, and I appreciated the big TV screen. However, the room decor didn't quite have the 'Forbidden City' style I was hoping for, and I found the walk from the front counter to my room to be a bit of a trek. Breakfast options were either McDonald's or KFC, which was convenient but not very exciting.
