Whoops Hotel

Thankfully, it was just one night. We were on a family trip and the tour guide had booked this hotel. Three of us shared a room with one single bed and one king bed. The room itself was decent, but the air quality was really bad. The curtains were dusty, the towels smelled funky, and the room felt oppressive. The lights flickered on and off during the night. My sister, who was in another room, had trouble breathing and her eyes swelled after going in. I don't know if it was dust or formaldehyde from the furnishings. The reception staff were rude and condescending, which was quite disappointing for a Taiwan establishment.

The location is very good, but please avoid this place. The table in our room was so dirty and greasy that we had to buy wet tissues to clean it. White particles were floating out of the vent, see the photo. Our throats felt so uncomfortable that it seemed hard to breathe properly. The towels were very old and didn't even have matching logos. We'd booked an extra room and wanted a refund. The receptionist we dealt with was unhappy to help and kept insisting I show the receipt. She could still process it without the receipt, but I had to go up and down three times, and it took forever. We woke up on our first morning and decided to book somewhere else. We had booked three days, but it was too uncomfortable to stay the whole time.

The location is good, but the room wasn't as clean as the pictures suggested. The quilt cover didn't fit the quilt, so sleeping under it wasn't comfortable. You can't flush toilet paper or the toilet will clog.

The only real plus was the short walk to Feng Jia night market. The amenities are dated, and two of our three rooms had problems: the toilet wouldn't flush at check-in, the power suddenly went out in a room, the TV didn't work, and there were air conditioning issues. Soundproofing was terrible too. I can only blame myself for booking based on location and availability without reading more reviews. The counter staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered, frowning and answering questions loudly and rudely. I didn't take any hotel photos since there wasn't anything worth sharing.
