Taolin Shan

Friendly and helpful staff. Plentiful breakfast buffet and the afternoon tea was good, a welcome supply during a typhoon day. Walking distance to nearby night market and a central hub for the Kaohsiung Metro.

This is an issue I have had in traveling to Asia overall with how prevalent smoking still is there. The first room I was in had a second hand smoke smell. I went to the front desk and they were able to move me to a different floor. That room was in the same stack of rooms so it also had the smell. It must be coming through the vents or something. The front desk then moved me to a third room in a different area that was good. After that my stay was great.
