North Country Motel

Fair, and cheap.

The room felt stuffy and poorly ventilated, and the strong smoke smell lingered even with the air conditioning on. That was especially unpleasant for a non-smoker. The bathtub was visibly dirty, with grime and limescale, so I didn’t feel it was safe to use. The whole property, inside and out, looks old and poorly maintained. Worn furniture and decor, dim lighting, and a gloomy atmosphere made the room uncomfortable. Given the condition and cleanliness, I thought the value was poor. If comfort and hygiene matter to you, I’d look at newer places that seem better managed.

For under 2000 NTD on a weekday, the price felt like great value. The decor is luxurious and the bed very comfortable, with snacks, drinks, and instant noodles included. There’s a sauna, bathtub, and separate shower, along with some other amenities. The staff were really friendly ❤️. Just be careful driving in, the entrance is a little narrow.

Dust was plainly visible on the bathroom towel cabinet, and the room smelled strongly of smoke. The lighting was dim, and the charging outlets were dirty and awkward to get to. I had to move the bedside table to find them. There was mold and odd fluorescent-looking spotting on the ceiling and air conditioner vents, plus a wooden pole over the bed with no clear purpose.
