Howard Lake Resort Shihmen Dam Reviews

The playground for little ones is good; a lot to choose from. The pool water quality is fair, and the view is great. Our room (double room, kid stay free) is renovated, so it's rather new and comfy to stay. The hotel is a perfect choice for a family with young kids to stay. Continental breakfast is fair; beef noodle soup is great.

It’s very good experience for stay here. It’s very convenient and quiet .

Located very near the lake and dam, so it is a good location as a starting point for exploring the area. Staff were helpful in explaining how to get around without incurring the entry fee to the reservoir area, and introduced us to possible nearby areas for food. There were many activities within the hotel - table tennis, pool, some arcade games and more - we were entertained till late. Only downside was that these facilities were located in a separate building, so we had to walk via an unsheltered walkway. Breakfast was respectable, with a good range of options, including the staples such as bread, spreads, egg, coffee, tea, soy milk etc. There was no specific on-site parking, so it depends on availability of road-side parking.

Nice place to chill and relax. Decent breakfast and public hot bath.. Beautiful and serene place around Shimen reservoir. Greet by the cooling wind and rusting leaves in the morning at balcony and walk around the reservoir. Nice self retreat place.

The hotel is very close to where I need to go and has wonderful view. Breakfast has wide range of food to choose. Can’t ask much in such remote location.

Very friendly staff and the view was phenomenal in the morning.

Very friendly and supporting staff. Enjoyed the stay ♥️

Good Breakfast

The price for one night and two meals for a Saturday stay seemed a bit high at first. The hotel is located next to the Shimen Reservoir. Since we planned to visit Leofoo Village, we looked for a family hotel nearby. There are few indoor parking spaces in the hotel, but fortunately there are white lines on the roadside so it is easy to park. The birthday person in the family happened to be staying that day and was given peanut candy as a gift. I booked a superior family room with two double beds. It was quite spacious and had a balcony. The view from the window was just a glimpse of the reservoir (laughs). The bathroom facilities didn't seem to have a bathtub, but the water volume and pressure were very good. Because the whole hotel has been renovated, the hardware facilities are quite good and the soundproofing is very good. Since all the guests are families with children, it is bound to be a bit noisy, but the soundproofing is very good when the door is closed. The air-conditioning is very cold, it should be a pleasure to stay here in the summer. The food was a bit beyond my expectations. The dinner in April happened to be changed to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and in addition to seafood, there was also freshly cut beef. The breakfast also had children's favorite fried food, Chinese and Western dishes such as Gua Bao and porridge, which was quite good. Next is the kids' favorite game room. The restaurant and game room/swimming pool sauna are all concentrated in Building B. It's nice to go upstairs and play after dinner. There are building blocks and ball pools that little kids love, electric/Switch that older kids love, and fitness, billiards, electric, etc. that adults love. What's even better is that there are massage chairs, which you can use for free with tokens from the counter (limited time). The swimming pool is not open at the moment, but there is a sauna (only for those over 12 years old) Overall, it was a very good accommodation experience. Next time I have a chance, I want to visit when the price is more affordable on weekdays and use the swimming pool^^

Although it is an old hotel, it is well maintained. There are many old staff members who are very professional and enthusiastic. There are many children in the game area, and there are also retro video games. The whole family lingers here. The breakfast is delicious, the beef noodles and the hexagram buns are delicious, and the value for money is great. The view of the reservoir can be seen from the window. There is a small balcony to enjoy the sunrise and sunset in the left and right corners. It is so beautiful

It is convenient to travel by car here, and it is a good place to cultivate your mind. Unfortunately, the food buffet is only rich on Saturdays. You must have a good rest after 8 o'clock in the evening because it is very quiet outside.

The balcony view is the best part of the hotel. However, the soundproofing is not good and I often hear the sound of children running around. The environment and sanitation are very good. The counter and breakfast service staff are very friendly.

The scenery is beautiful. Although the hotel is not new, the lobby and room are comfortable. You can check in on weekdays. There is no need to queue for facilities for babies to play. There are many parent-child facilities, which is great! The waiters are very considerate and enthusiastic. I will stay here again next time!

Although Howard Plaza Hotel is an older hotel But the hotel staff's service makes people feel at home Good breakfast People come here to play and feel relaxed I'd like to come again next time
