Not only that, if you wanted butter on your pancakes, there wasn’t an easy to way to select a slice from the butter bar out there. No syrup also, so I settled for honey.

I would stay again if I got a good price, but I would eat elsewhere for meals.

There is a large bar in the middle with divided check in counters to the rights. There are three restaurants: a breakfast and lunch buffet servicing western style food on the first floor, a Shanghai restaurant on the second floor, and a Japanese restaurant on the fifth floor

The room itself was nicely appointed with Dyson hairdryers and Smeg water kettle. The room was cute and luxurious with super big and fluffy bathroom towels. Tea selection was good.
I have no doubt that the quality of breakfast is also important (and in particular the presence of maple syrup in a Taiwainese hotel, but I personally attach more importance to location, quality of the room (size , design, silence) and obviously the quality of service (attention, proactive, smiling).

I can't seem to see these items in your review.
