After me and my associates discovered that this delightful hotel closed the pool on a sunday to host a party with people drinking and taking drugs not to mention vomiting around the pool area, my company will not long associate ourselves with this hotel! This was not a upscale hotel, but simple a place for young people to take drugs in public. Shame on you.

We stayed at Howard Plaza on the month of Nov. In general, I'd say it was a decent hotel. But paying the price of a 5star hotel, I feel the quality of services can be much improved. We approach the Concierge counter for some info. And we the staffs are quite rude. As this was not the first hotel we stayed in Taipei. In comparison, we found that some 3 star hotels in some area can even provide a better, friendlier service. However, the room is quite comfortable, set aside its old style furnishing.
