I am indifferent about using points or cash, the 4 pts with a posted room rate of NT 2700 looks attractive though despite what I've read in the reviews...
Any comments are appreciated
4 pts I lived in Taipei and the reason why 4 pts only costs NT$2700 bacause the location. It's far-far-far-far away the city downtown area, a least 20-30 minutes drive from Sheraton to 4 pts. You have to combine taxi and subway if you choose to stay in 4 pts and transfer between hotel and downtown area...
