Hotel Cham Cham Taitung (Caesar Park Hotels & Resort)
Extremely close to the railway station. Enjoy the design of the hotel. Delicious breakfast. The only shortcoming is the limited choice of dining. No restaurant nearby, need to travel to the downtown.

The hotel is great and relatively clean. But the hotel has shown its age after more than 25 years in operations. Breakfast is really good! There are more variety of foods than I can consume. The service is excellent!
