Hotel Shumei Chiayi

A leader in the industry.

The place was clean and attractive. Bringing a pet costs an extra $400. Breakfast was assigned at random, with no choice. I wish I could at least pick a drink. Getting two cups of lukewarm soy milk nearly made me cry 🥲, since I wanted something cold.

The breakfast I ordered was delicious, and the room was clean with strong air conditioning that worked well for summer. This is a motel beside the interchange, so security needs a bit more attention than at a regular hotel. There may be knocking sounds at the door in the middle of the night, or noise from the next door closing. Sound insulation was acceptable.

It's easy to find, close to the interchange, and the staff are really friendly and helpful. You can ask them questions and they'll help if they can. The rooms have a choice of romantic or bright lighting, and I preferred the brighter setting. The soundproofing isn't great, though, so light sleepers may find it hard to accept.
