Lakeshore Hotel Hualien Taroko

The staffs are warm and helpful. I love the atmosphere when we walked on the lobby (the building we stayed). The room full of snacks and drinks added so much more welcoming sensation. The odor in the bathrooms was strong scene and it might the ventilation not circulate properly. I like the DIY and Yoga class even thought I only get to experience DIY but it was helping me finding my inner peace. The hotel is only 5 mins away from the train station which takes you to Taroko ! My parents absolutely enjoy the kindness and hospitality.I would definitely come back and visit with my family again❤️

What I disliked: My check in experience was not very pleasant because after parking the car and wheeling our luggage all the way to the lobby, we were told that we were at the wrong building as the hotel had two different buildings with another hotel in between theirs. This is not clearly indicated in the booking and when driving, it is not clearly indicated on Google Maps that they had two diff buildings. Also it kinda sucks to be in the satellite building, because the breakfast, dining and pools were all at the main building so we always had to walk over about 3 mins to get to it. The location is bad if you do not drive because there are almost no food options in the vicinity so you pretty much have to eat at the hotel. If you drive, Hualien city where most of the dining options are is a 30min drive away. What I liked: Upon entering our room, we realized we were upgraded from the normal twin room to a junior suite. We appreciated this but for some reason the staff didn't let us know when we were checking in. Thus the room given was extremely spacious and luxurious. There was also a hot and cold water dispenser on every floor which is very convenient. The hotel is also very clean which we appreciated.
