Worried about traffic before heading back home, I purposely stayed near the airport and had some pleasant surprises. Pros: it's close to the airport, there are plenty of food options nearby, and next to the 7-Eleven, there's a Thai specialty store that sells herbal balms and mosquito repellent cheaper than Big C. There's also a BBQ joint next to the specialty store that's great for a late-night snack; the taste is quite similar to Chinese BBQ, delicious and not expensive. Across from the hotel is a 'Wonton Kid's' shop, run by staff from Henan, China, serving authentic Chinese dishes like Roujiamo and Liangpi. If you want Luosifen, they'll even cook a packaged one for you. Oh, and the hotel is owned by a Hong Konger, which really caters to Chinese tastes – all the front desk staff speak Chinese. The balcony is great for drying clothes, and the room has a separate living and sleeping area, plus a wet and dry bathroom, which exceeded my expectations. Right next to the hotel is Huachiew University, with many Chinese exchange students. You can even take a stroll around the campus. You can also take a taxi to the nearby outlet mall for shopping and dining; it's a pleasant environment. All in all, I'll definitely consider staying there again before my next trip back home.
