The Splendor Hotel Taichung

“Good location”

This hotel is affiliated to the Splendor Hotel-Taichung (a 5 star hotel) - like a B-team (farm team) of a Major League. The room is spacious and clean.

This hotel is affiliated to the Splendor Hotel-Taichung (a 5 star hotel) - like a B-team (farm team) of a Major League. The room is spacious and clean. A little dated but acceptable as a 3.5 star hotel. Walking distance to the National Museum of Nature Science, the Park Lane by Splendor Shopping Center (金典綠園道商場), the Kuang San SOGO Department Store, the Calligraphy Greenway (草悟道), the Taichung Civil Square, the Park Lane by CMP (勤美誠品綠園道) and dozens of café and restaurants. Make it a convenient hotel for short stays. Free WIFI at room. The service of front desk is good. Breakfast is average. A major disadvantage is that the lift is old and slow.

“Not too bad”

There's no denying that Park Lane Inn won't be as lavish as the Splendour Hotel next door but then again, the room rate is significantly lesser. That being said though, the view from Park Lane Inn is impressive as it is located much higher than Splendour Hotel. From our room, we could see beyond … lisää

There's no denying that Park Lane Inn won't be as lavish as the Splendour Hotel next door but then again, the room rate is significantly lesser. That being said though, the view from Park Lane Inn is impressive as it is located much higher than Splendour Hotel. From our room, we could see beyond Taichung City Central and beyond and it is quite a view. The room is rather spartan with minimal offering but still, it offers a settee with minimal support. WiFi is strong, bed is large but devoid of support. There is a kitchenette with minimal utensils but space is aplenty. Air conditioning is akin to North Pole and it has a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality and the same could be said about its hot water in the bathroom too. Apart from that, service is adequate. If you were to drive here, there are 6 levels of car parking at the basement and for hotel guests, it is free of charge. Food offered on Level 11 is token gesture because it is not delicious and basically, very generic and nothing memorable. But be mindful of one thing though, you get what you pay for, and Park Lane Inn is adequate for a few days stay. Commendable stay.

“Basic”

It’s just a basic average inn requires some updates. Room is small albeit it has a sitting area with a love seat and coffee table. I will probably opt for a smaller sitting area so there is more room to move around.
