We booked at the Young Soarlan Boutique Hotel for a night during a long holiday weekend a week before on Hotels.com, for what I thought was a decent rate during a high-demand time, to attend a wedding. Our room was perfectly adequate for one night with all the amenities we needed: a refrigerator, four bottles of water, an electric tea kettle, plenty of space for our carry-on luggage, flat-screen television, and desk. The linens and the bathroom seemed to be bleach-white clean. The air conditioning was much appreciated, as the wedding had been held outdoors in unusually warm weather. At breakfast the next day, there was a small buffet of mostly Taiwanese-style breakfast offerings: rice porridge with sweet potato and typical porridge toppings, steamed rice, stir-fried noodles, various tofu and vegetable dishes, chicken nuggets, and steamed egg. There was also toast and steamed buns available. The only beverages on offer were coffee and tea. My only two quibbles about the hotel were minor: the bed was firmer than I'd like (though this is generally true of Taiwan, and even a luxury hotel in Taipei is not immune to this problem), and that when we arrived to breakfast, there was a shortage of plates. I constantly had to ask the server for dishware, which to his credit, he promptly refilled. To be fair, we had arrived towards the end of breakfast service. It wasn't luxurious, but the staff were friendly and the room was clean and well-appointed. It exceeded my expectations.
