Hotel Kuva Chateau — Hotel in Taoyuan City

An average large older hotel, but the rooms are still priced high. As usual Trip.com showed a price when first viewed, then with the now normalized lefty globalist fraud of constantly changing price for fixed product/service, like airline tickets, the app updated to a higher price. Nothing new with decades of Linnaeus' greediest bringing ever worsening greed, unaffordability, quality, value, to everything under guises of "luxury" with no actual benefit/improvement. Many fundamental amenities of a western world $100usd+ price are not provided, such as There are no sidewalks to/from the hotel so watch out walking in the street. There's no cover from rain/sun at the entry. It's also ~15 min walk from the MRT west to this hotel if you don't taxi. Nearby convenience are severely lacking, and you must travel further for better options. Lobby was pretty crowded, but check in was quick. The room was dated interior, wood/browns, carpet, but clean and large over 500ft2. No Japanese toilets is a downer, for the (ever increasing despite continuous improvement in efficiency and lowering costs of every sublevel product/service) price, along with the try yoga and turn around push the flush tank button on the toilet. The breakfast/meal is steep over $20usd. Trip.com advertised a pool, the only hotel around the area with one, but upon arrival, the pool was not open despite hot weather. Trip.com also advertised a (additional fee) children's playground, which turned out as "we don't have that". So we got duped on our groups 2 biggest reasons for this hotel. Luckily there is a park across the street with kids playground. The moderate sized night market is less than 10 minutes walk south. Not much else around the area, its just the area with cheaper hotels just south of the bizarre overpriced all-trivial-product-brands-are-now-luxury "outlets" mall, that notably lacks food options, and sun/rain cover. As a note, we asked for an item from the front desk, and they told us to come down and get it lol. However, I must also note, despite the old rotary dial controls, the room aircons were very cold, and clean! But the little refrigerator was hardly cold and not adjustable. Also power outlets in the room were very limited and you have to unplug some items to plug your devices. The 2 TVs in the room were "smart" and had apps like youtube in them, that's nice. And they gave 4 water bottle in the room for 1 night. No disposables like toothbrushes/paste though. There were big windows in the room. Lots of room space, but Small couch wont fit 3 people. Nice big bathtub and separate shower. Bed and pillows were soft enough for sleep without issue, but not the Best. They are not greedy and allow the normal 11am checkout. Didn't use the wifi so its unknown. So pro's and cons...

This should not be considered a 5 star hotel.||I live in Taipei and paid for a 2 night stay here in an Executive Double Room. I mainly chose this hotel because it has a swimming pool and gymnasium.||POSITIVES||- Staff tried to be helpful|- Whiskey Bar / restaurant very nice|||NEGATIVES||- I arrived to find that the swimming pool and gymnasium was closed! Staff told me that I 'should have checked the website because they close for maintenance on a Monday and it tells you in the website'. I did check the website and it DID NOT mention this. Very disappointed not to be able to use the facility for a full day. And then.... I found out the Swimming pool didn't open until 1pm the next day.... This means people checking out in the morning cannot use it. It makes no sense.||- I wanted to order food in the Whiskey restaurant upstairs. I wanted dumplings but they had seafood in, so I changed my order (I cannot eat seafood). I ordered the Shanghainese soup and I asked the staff 'DOES THIS HAVE FISH OR SEAFOOD INSIDE'? The staff said no...... then after 30 minutes the food finally came and it had seafood inside. I am allergic to seafood!!! :-/||- The first room I was given has a window view and when I opened the curtains, I was facing a brick wall. It was so close and I couldn't see anything else.||- Breakfast was very bad quality. It looks like there is some good option but the quality is very, very bad. ||- During the day there was some kind of house agent conference happening upstairs, On break time they all stood outside the entrance smoking, and people had to walk through them to get in and out of the hotel. I had to ask staff to ask the people to go to the smoking area. This should not be my job.||- WIFI was very bad and insecure. ||- Hotel room was dirty with old furniture. Curtains had big dirt stains on them. Chair had white stains on and black hair. TV stand had tissue underneath the leg. Only 2 pieces of notepad paper.||||Overall, I could not stay another day. I could not do my work and so many things happened that I was in such a bad mood to try and enjoy the experience.|When I did leave, no staff even asked me why I was leaving early or if everything was ok.... until I was already walking away from the hotel, a member of staff came out and stated that I was leaving early. ||Just to add: I was able to change rooms to one with a better view and I was given a free breakfast because of the swimming pool being closed, which I appreciate and thank the staff for helping me.||I will not be...
