Around 5:00 P.M. on 30th of January, 2023, I checked into CHECK inn Taipei Xinyi.The reservation was made by my company admin for my business trip in Taipei.First, the room was absolutely tiny; it was the smallest hotel room that I have ever seen (and I have been to many, many hotels around the world).Second, the fan in the bathroom operates automatically (according to the hotel staff, the fan cannot be manually turned off). So, I needed to removed the hotel card from the card insert on the wall to turn it off which means I can't turn on or off the lights in the room.Third, there is no heater for the room. It was a rather chilly night in Taipei (around 15 degrees Celsius in the room). According to the hotel staff, all that hotel can do for me was to bring me a quilt.Finally, there is no closet or drawers to hang your wardrobe or put away your belongings.So, only a few hours after checking-in, I checked out and went to a near by hotel that I normally stay in.CHECK inn Taipei did refund two nights stay and charged me for just one nights stay.So, for your business trip (or even a personal trip for that matter), I advise anyone considering CHECK inn to stay at a hotel that is more traditional just a little bit more money.
