weekday visit was 100$ usd. I live in Las Vegas I'd rather stay here, they only do one night reservations at a time... ;)... :/... yeah but this is 3x the size 3x the decor and 3 x the no questions asked. But really a great looking room even for a night.
Visited with family, 3 kids in tow and they loved it. No trip in Taiwan is complete without a stay in a love motel. For the space, the tub kids loved! and the overall experience for the adults. Mulan is clean and well managed. Remember to get staff to switch off the adult channel if kids come along!
It was a last-minute decision to extend our stay in Taichung and we managed to grab a last-minute booking via agoda for a room in Mulan, for a reasonably good price. Our family had three adults and a child. We wanted a motel with a large pool in-room, and Mulan had met the requirement. We loved the pool and spacious bathroom. The massage chair is great after a long day's drive. From our past experience, we knew that as of most Taiwan motel's standard policies, even after they charge an additional pax, they do not provide the additional bed. All they do is to lay a mattress on the carpetted floor for the additional pax. However, we don't find this much of an issue with the room in Mulan, as they have large and comfortable sofa and a spacious loft. We enjoyed our stay.
I was in Taichung for business and decided to extend my stay for a weekend with my wife. The colleagues recommended this as a "romantic" place. To me, however its whole concept was shockingly creepy. The check-in was at the security gate, without even getting out of car, then you are driven to what is essentially a parking garage and the room is directly above. So I got out of the taxi, lugged my whole baggage over the stairs to discover a huuuuuge room. It must be at least a thousand square feet with a humongous TV and a luxury sofa to watch it from, a massage chair, a lot of furniture, many colours all over from the carpets to wall and celinng, many, many decorative things hanging from the ceiling, the big bed in a big alcove with a chequered design on walls around it and small LEDs wherever the lines crisscrossed. A lot many dark colours in the interior. And then there was the bathroom. Its"door" was about 20 feet wide and the bathroom was big enough to grow vvegetables and grains to feed a small family. There was a rain shower, a lot of decorative plants inside, a jacuzzi area and so on. Children could play hopscotch in that bathroom, and there would still be spare place for a pingpong table and more. It was black granite everywhere. Sounds great, right? The hitch there was the commode was locates in a corner in a very cramped recess. I couldn't figure why. There was enough space here to build a group shower for twenty people and the toilet would not accommodate a reasonably fat person! And the creepy part was, not a window anywhere. The outside world cannot see you and you cannot see the outside world. Gave me goosebumps of claustrophobic horror in the middle of so much space. I like the idea of a totally private space to spend time with my lady love, but this was a bit too much. There is a difference between being private and hiding. If i have to have a tryst so clandestine, i would prefer to give it a pass. Not my cup of tea. It was then that i spotted a selection of condoms on the bedside table and decided to get out.
To be fair, there must be some people who will find this place very enjoyable. In my case, i found the staff there extremely understanding. They not only refunded my full money ( you have to pay up-front at check-in), but also guided my taxi driver to a nearby good business hotel where I had a great time.
We booked the Water dance theme and checked-in at 6pm. As it is a car motel, they do not have a lobby. Patrons just drive through to register and drive straight to the garage that is located below your room. We did not drive and we were early, so they stored our baggage until we come back at 6pm. The room was spacious and grand. Comes with a huge TV, huge bathroom and a jacuzzi of a good size. Toiletries are well-replenished and everything is provided. There is no kettle but a water system that you can get hot and cold water from. As it is a fairly new motel, less than a year, so some cab drivers might not be able to find it. We took a cab to Fengjia night market and it cost about 170 TWD. We opted for breakfast to be served to the room and it was a tasty chicken burger with packet juice and a portion of fruits. Pillow were a bit soft though.
