We like staying at the Evergreen Laurel Hotel. This is our second time staying here. The room is clean and spacious. Its super quiet as well. The staff and services are great. There are nice restaurants located in the Great Food Town which is across from the hotel. We like to walk over and eat at our favorite hot pot restaurant then shop at the Sapporo drug store. Last time we found a laundry mat next to it and it is so convenient for us to do our laundry there. There are also other stores and restaurants in walking distance. Overall, we like everything about our stay at this hotel.

Stayed here as close to cruise terminal. In fact could walk with cases to the ship. Close to station (for train to Taipei) and local shops and night market.
Breakfast buffet had everything eastern and western and reasonable quality. Hotel a little old fashioned in style but we liked that.
The only drawback is only two guest lifts and at checkout were waiting half an hour for a lift until show staff lift and escorted down. Needs more lifts, how they would do this not sure. A glass one on the outside at the side maybe. Overall a good stay though.
