Hotels in West District, Taichung

"It's a newer hotel building, so maintenance is good. However with our stay, the pool was undergoing maintenance and unavailable. The gym was also undergoing maintenance. There was was an alternate gym on site. And alternate arrangement for a nearby pools was an option at a nearby building, but timing did not allow. Front desk check in was friendly, with English as an option. Straightforward. Concierges persons similarly, and great help in storing luggage. Rooms were clean and had generous space for twin beds. A number of nice amenities included, more than necessary for a 1 night stay. Hotel is generally convenient to an HSR shuttle line stop nearby (ensure you get off the right stop, do not store luggage on top of seats in bus!). Hotel is situated with a minimal number of bus lines to get you closer to downtown shopping malls (and Din Tai Fung) and stores, but if walking, about 10-20 mins away, depending on pace. Bus timetables and lines more sparse mid-day than rush hour. General area is walkable, with big long blocks dominated by a number of big highrise residential towers adjacent."

"When I went for breakfast, I was told by the receptionist that all tables are full. And she can put me in a 6 people table, but I will have other joining me. Or the option is to eat in the bar section on the opposite side of the restuarant (that means I have to walk across the hallway and then all the way to the back of the restaurant to get food!!!). I asked if I can wait because it was the first time I got asked to eat away from the restuarnat and walk across the hallway to the bar area. Then 15 seconds later they took me to a table, and to my suprise, there were about 10 to 15 empty tables for 2 people !!! Not very nice to ask me to eat in the bar, so they can save the tables for other guests??? I spoke to the manager on call at the front desk, and all he did was apologize, and then..., nothing ???? I guess it was not unusual to hear these types complaints in the hotel. The other issue was, my wife was having a drink at the bar. Then our friends showed up, so she asked the waiter to move the 2 tables together so we can talk. They refused! When I came down to join them, I thought is was rediculous that we can not put the tables together. So I ask the bartendar directly (who was a foreigner), and immediately said it was ok to move the table together. We will never stay at this hotel again!!!"

"Older property but jept neat and clean."

"Good price, free coffee and bread in Morning is very nice ! Near the station!"

"Convenience to Taichung HSR station with #159 bus stop right infront of hotel "

"Nice, clean, and convenient location. Close to Sogo and lots of food around, plus a 7-Eleven right across the street. The morning breakfast was an added benefit. We would stay here again. "

"Clean and spacious room, we had a great rest there, nothing to complain about!"

"Our family stayed at the Carlton for 3 nights and the overall quality and staff services were great. The free offside parking is within a manageable walking distance. The hot water system does need a bit improvement since letting the water runs 3-5 minutes in order to get the actual hot water before shower isn't environmental and water resource friendly for a hotel property. However, I would still add the Carlton to my hotel list in Taichung."

"價錢合理、裡裡外外蠻清爽乾淨的地方，尤其室內照明很夠，非常好"
