Evergreen Laurel Hotel - Taichung

This hotel was outside the star-level and price that I normally book, but it was a treat for the better half’s birthday. Check-in was a breeze, and check-out was pretty much the same. We were upgraded to an Executive Floor room, which was a lovely surprise, and we were fortunate to have friends staying in the hotel in a standard room so we could compare the two. The differences were minor, but they were nice: coffee bags instead of instant three-in-one mix, more pillows, a couple of complimentary drinks in the fridge, and so on. The rooms were nice, but there are a couple of things that need consideration. Firstly, USB ports. In nearly all 3 and 4 start hotels I stay at, there are a couple of USB ports. Even if not hard wired in, then a bank of them provided. Secondly were the lights. When you slotted your room card in, the room lit up like a lighting shop display – it really was very beautiful. But come time to sleep, turning off the lights was a real chore. The first night we slept with some on because we couldn’t figure out how to turn them off completely. I know… that says more about how stupid I am… but most hotels have a master switch to turn off all lights, and given how many lamps there were, it would have been a blessing. These are small criticisms indeed. The hotel hot spring was a treat and the breakfast varied and of quality (the truffle buttered bread was a revelation). Worthy of your consideration.

It's an older hotel but it's what you would expect from an Evergreen at this price. The room and bathroom was large. Breakfast was very good. Locker room and pool area a bit small, but decent enough.

I really enjoyed my stay at this classy hotel. Yes it is a little dated but it kept its high level of supreme professionalism from the staff and great service. Breakfast and spa are a great reason to stay here alone.
