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!

客房一塵不染，除濕機和暖氣讓房間的舒適度提高，餐飲方面也很優質。最讓人印象深刻的是汽車進入園區購票處的3位門衛先生，由於2月1日入住當天，正逢早上有路跑活動，中午必須待清場後才放行讓汽車駛入，他們非常有耐心且熱情的介紹其他可以先去逛逛(如妖怪村)或吃東西的地方。 下午1點先登記後，欲前往溪頭大學湖時，巧遇園區的導覽員Leo(從中和來)和另一位自高雄來的導覽員帶領我們一路介紹園區歷史、花草樹木等，不光是認識了好幾種植物，也讓旅途增加了很多樂趣，真心建議要遊溪頭的民眾，應該事先申請導覽員的帶領，太值回票價了。
