Convenient location for strolling in the woods with supper options available nearby. Room cleanness is good with appliances and necessities of staying. After checkout, guests can stay in the park till late afternoon, which allows more leisure time to enjoy the natural environment.

Be aware this is an old dormitory facility. The rooms are basic but clean. The whole place smells a bit of mildew. Pillows are not good. There are many hills and stairs to get to some of the rooms. Breakfast was good. It was convenient to be inside the park starting the day, as we avoided some of the crowds from buses.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a beautiful nature reserve, and that’s the reason to stay overnight. But the Howard has some drawbacks. Check-in can be painfully slow. I asked before and at check-in for rooms with easy access for my elderly parents, and was assigned the Phoenix building that requires a climb up 39 steps. The manager seemed to think that TWD$680 for the dinner buffet was a great deal. But the buffet was mediocre: many dishes seemed cold. If you stay, it will be for the wonderful scenery.

Difficult finding the registration office

We had a bad experience finding the registration office. We came in from a different entrance (#2). There was no sign that the registration office is in a complete different building. My poor old mom had difficulty in walking had to waste her energy in going up and downhill with me trying to ask people and looking for the registration place. We only had a difficult time at the beginning. We enjoyed the rest of the staying because the staff were very nice and the food was great.

The location within the park is wonderful - allows early morning solitary hikes - before the tour buses arrive. Hiking again around noon or after is also better as the tour groups are more spread out throughout the park. The buffet was really good!

入房時間訂為下午4時，與一般飯店比太晚了，如係因房間清潔不及之故，應加配人力，而不是縮短住客的入住時間，這點期改善。

在溪頭公園裡面非常方便，空氣清新，安靜。但除了自然的部分之外，其他都還需要再加強才對得起這個房價。房間雖然remodel但還是看得出很多地方老舊，建築外觀更是完全沒有整理。餐廳服務人員訓練也不夠，入住前特地打電話說家人行動不便，能否麻煩安排不要走太多路的房間，櫃檯告知安排一樓，原以為很不錯，結果是每一棟根本就只有一樓，但我們被安排在位在二樓為止的B棟一樓。。。家人還是得爬樓梯。如果安排有困難就直接拒絕，不需要用這種話術但根本沒有解決客戶問題。畢竟房價真的很五星，但這種素質不ok。
