While the staff have been very friendly and the location excellent, I cannot recommend more than 1 night stay.
Pros: Courteous and friendly staff Unbeatable location right next to the bus boarding bay to other locations eg Taichung/Alishan. 7-11 is 4 shops down. Competitive pricing, given its location.

Breakfast is at Moss Burger across the street, a Taiwanese McDonald's. If you go back to Taipei from here, there is a bus across the street. The Bus to Alishan also departs from across the street. ||The hotel great value for money and I'd definitely...
