-2018 stay- Very conveniently located for quick access to Chiayi Station (best for Alishan Mountain Railway and/or Alishan Bus). Nice food options at your doorstep. Very spacious room, comfy bed, fantastic shower and the best WiFi we had in Taiwan. The staff was lovely and helpful (specially the young lady in the mornings), they let us drop the luggage early in the morning before checking in to our convenience. On the negative side I would mention that there was a slight cigarette smell coming through the bathroom extractor.
