Saturday, October 10, 2026 Double Ten National Day holiday, three days and two nights. Booked a hotel in Tainan on ezTravel. First time staying at #Parapo Hotel Chihkan Branch - $5,423 for two nights, breakfast not included, found the cheapest. Need to reserve a parking spot, but it costs $150 per night, $300 for two nights. Also reserved a baby bathtub and crib - a bit small, comes with a bed rail, pillows, sheets, and a thick duvet. No wardrobe or hangers, only an old-fashioned clothes hanging rod. Has a refrigerator. My husband said the parking spot was extremely difficult to park in. Parking is only allowed after 3 PM. After 5 PM, when the manager leaves, you need to get a universal remote from the front desk. To park in the designated lot, you have to open and close the iron gate yourself. Walk back to the hotel (2 minutes) and return the universal remote. Some places charge overnight fees twice, but this one only charges once. The hotel is a renovated old building. During the holiday, the windows are very small but at least they exist, they are traditional windows with limited soundproofing and insulation. There's a water dispenser only on the first floor. If you go out and leave the counter, they suggest depositing your key for $500 to avoid losing it. The bed is quite good, and the room is clean. But the body wash and shampoo are sandalwood 🤣 felt purified after showering. Overall, staying for two nights was good for resting and sleeping. There are many places to eat, drink, and shop nearby, so the amenities are quite good.
