Note: I skipped the Woobar happy hour for Elites - it’s from 5 to 7.
Pros:
- Upgraded to a nice Spectacular room on the 2nd-highest room floor with a great view of Taipei 101 (all suites besides WOW and EWOW were sold out online)
- Room design is light and airy and still looks pretty good
- Bed was fantastic with a super plush and soft mattress, plush pillows, and plush covers
- Shower pressure from the rainfall head was good and strong
- Brought some cakes as a welcome gift - haven’t tried them yet, but I’ll assume they’re good
- Service at the front desk was nice - had multiple folks come out and talk to me, asking me about the hotels I’m trying this trip, etc.
- 4 PM checkout was set up automatically
- Elite breakfast at Yen on 31F was good - no wait at 8:30, but there was a line when I left at 9
- Best hotel latte I’ve had in Taiwan so far - made by staff
- Yummy omelet
- Yummy chocolate and pecan muffin
- Liked the truffle scrambled eggs
Cons:
- At least one of the towels was a bit old and stringy
... and another city I will be visiting soon (albeit for a short 2 night stopover from last minute change) that EE has graciously did his reviews on.
Booked the W! No SNA left but hopefully can snag a Fantastic Suite upgrade.
I also have Istanbul planned for next fall and I already found your reviews there
