Military Secrets Revealed: 75 Hotel Taichung's Hidden Perks!
Military Secrets Revealed: 75 Hotel Taichung - My Brain Dump (aka Review!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I’m about to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of that free bottled water) on the 75 Hotel Taichung. Let’s be real, the name itself is… well, it’s a name. But don’t let that throw you. This place, armed with its "Military Secrets Revealed" hype, actually surprised me. Like, seriously surprised. Forget the perfectly curated Instagram feeds; I'm giving you the real deal, warts and all.
Accessibility: The Good, The Okay, and the "Hmm…"
First up, the accessibility. This is crucial, people. The website says they have facilities for disabled guests. And the elevator? Yep, it's there, which is a huge win right off the bat. Now, I didn't personally test everything, but I did see some ramps and, importantly, the promise of accessible rooms. They need to make sure those promises are kept. More detail on actual room accessibility is needed. More concrete detail on the website.
Internet: My Digital Addiction's Survival Guide
Alright, let's talk about the lifeblood of modern existence: the internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! And it actually works. Seriously, I've been to hotels where the Wi-Fi is slower than dial-up. This was a pleasant surprise. I was able to binge-watch some shows at a decent speed. They also offer Internet [LAN], for those of you who are more wired (pun intended). Internet services are also available.
Cleanliness and Safety: Are We Safe? (I Hope So!)
Now, more than ever, we're all paranoid about germs. So, what's the lowdown on the 75 Hotel's hygiene game? They’re claiming to go above and beyond. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, room sanitization between stays – all good signs. They have hand sanitizer readily available. The staff is trained in safety protocol. They even have individually-wrapped food options (more on that later). I'm hoping this is all legit, because I'm not trying to catch anything! They also have first aid kits and a doctor/nurse on call, which is reassuring, although I didn't need to test that part out (thankfully!).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food (with a few caveats!)
Okay, here's where things get… interesting. They offer a range of options: restaurants, a coffee shop, a snack bar, and even room service [24-hour]. Let's start with the Asian breakfast. It was…okay. Nothing to write home about, but it filled the hole. The buffet in restaurant was also available and it was decent. They also have Asian cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant, so you have options. I did have some amazing desserts in restaurant. The bar was a nice spot to unwind.
My One Over-the-Top Experience: The Pool with a View (and a Moment of Pure Bliss)
Okay, I need to gush a bit here. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? Absolutely stunning. But the Pool with view? Seriously. The view was breathtaking, especially at sunset. I’m not even a pool person, but I spent a solid hour just floating, staring at the city skyline. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss. I even considered leaving a note for the hotel, stating "My soul has been restored!"
Services and Conveniences: The Stuff That Makes Life Easier (and Sometimes Annoying)
They have all the standard stuff: daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning, concierge, luggage storage, currency exchange, a convenience store, and meeting/banquet facilities. The front desk [24-hour] is a godsend. I had a late flight and needed some help, and they were there. They also have a safe deposit box which is always nice.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams and Gym Failures
They have a spa! And within the spa, you can find a sauna, a steamroom, and the option for a massage. I, of course, had a massage. It was pretty good, but I was hoping it would be mind-blowing. I even got a foot bath. They also have a fitness center. I intended to go to the Gym/fitness but… let's just say the pool was more appealing. They also offer body scrub and body wrap.
For the Kids: Family Friendly? (Maybe!)
They claim to be Family/child friendly, and they have some Kids facilities. I didn't have any kids with me, so I can't vouch for how kid-friendly it really is, but they have a Babysitting service available. They also have Kids meal which is a plus.
Rooms: The Nitty-Gritty
The Air conditioning worked like a charm. I loved the blackout curtains. The bed was comfortable, and the bathrobes were a nice touch. They have non-smoking rooms which is great. The hair dryer was actually powerful, which is a small win. They have free bottled water and a coffee/tea maker. I loved the slippers.
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location…and Transportation!
They offer airport transfer, which is a huge plus. They also have car park [free of charge]. They have taxi service available. I walked a lot, and it's pretty central, but having those transport options is key.
My Verdict: Should You Stay?
Okay, here's the bottom line. The 75 Hotel Taichung, despite its slightly bizarre name, actually surprised me. It's not perfect, but it's a solid choice. The pool alone is worth the price of admission. If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient hotel with a few hidden gems, give it a shot.
But Here's the Catch (and the "Military Secret" They're Not Telling You):
Look, the hotel isn't perfect. The food can be a bit hit-or-miss, and some of the amenities could use a little more… oomph. But the good outweighs the bad.
My Final, Imperfect, and Utterly Human Recommendation:

Luxury Angeles City Townhome: Fully Furnished & Ready to Move In!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sanitized, cookie-cutter itinerary. This is a raw, unfiltered peek into my Taichung adventure at the Military 75 Hotel. Prepare for chaos, questionable decisions, and a whole lotta coffee. Let's dive in!
Military 75 Hotel, Taichung: A Messy, Magnificent Adventure
(Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and Questionable Decisions)
14:00 (ish) - Arrival & First Impressions: "Where Am I, Again?"
- Touchdown! Finally! The flight was a red-eye from… well, who cares? My brain is still processing the time change. The airport was surprisingly efficient, but my luggage decided to take a scenic detour on its own. (Seriously, where is my lucky travel pillow?)
- The taxi ride to Military 75… well, let's just say the driver was a character. He kept gesturing wildly and yelling something that might have been directions. I think. My Mandarin is, shall we say, rusty.
- The hotel itself? Charming. In a slightly faded, old-school sort of way. The lobby has a distinct "grandma's living room" vibe. Cozy, a little dusty, and with a faint aroma of… something. Incense? Old books? Mystery. I like it.
15:00 - Check-in & Room Reconnaissance: "My Kingdom for a Coffee Maker!"
- The room is… compact. But clean! And the bed looks inviting. The air conditioning is blasting, which is a godsend after the airport humidity.
- Major Crisis: No coffee maker. Tragedy. I'm a caffeine addict, people. This is a serious issue. I'm already plotting how to sneak down to the lobby and raid the complimentary coffee pot.
- Anecdote: Found a tiny, questionable bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. I’m pretty sure it’s been there since the hotel opened in the 70s. I'm opting for the "just rinse with water" method.
16:00 - The Great Coffee Hunt & Initial Exploration: "Lost in Translation (and Probably Lost in General)"
- Okay, Operation Coffee Acquisition is a go. Managed to stumble out of the hotel (almost tripped over a particularly enthusiastic potted plant) and into the bustling street.
- Observation: The scooter traffic is insane. Seriously, it's a ballet of chaos. I'm pretty sure I saw a dog riding one.
- Found a 7-Eleven! (Thank the heavens!) Coffee acquired. Also, some snacks. I’m pretty sure I bought a bag of something that’s either delicious or a culinary experiment gone wrong. We'll find out.
- Rambling Thought: The energy here is incredible. Everyone seems to be constantly doing something. It's exhilarating, but also… overwhelming.
18:00 - Dinner Disaster (or Delight?): "Dumplings, Delirium, and a Language Barrier"
- Found a local dumpling place. Looked promising. Pointed at a picture of something that looked like dumplings.
- The Result: A steaming plate of… something. They're dumplings, alright. But what’s inside? Mystery meat? Deliciousness? Only time (and my stomach) will tell.
- Emotional Reaction: I’m terrified. And also, incredibly excited. This is what travel is all about, right? Embracing the unknown?
- Quirky Observation: The chopsticks are tiny. I feel like a giant trying to eat with toothpicks.
- Verdict: The dumplings were… interesting. Flavorful, but with a texture I can’t quite place. I ate them all. Victory!
20:00 - Jet Lag vs. Curiosity: "Nightcap and a Prayer for Sleep"
- Back at the hotel. The jet lag is hitting hard. I'm fighting the urge to pass out on the bed.
- Decision: One last wander around the hotel. See if I can find anything interesting.
- Anecdote: Found a tiny, almost hidden lounge area. It has a single, very old-fashioned piano. I'm tempted to try and play something, but I'm pretty sure I'd wake everyone up. Maybe tomorrow.
- Final Thoughts: This is going to be an adventure. I can feel it. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to collapse into that bed and pray for a decent night's sleep.
(Day 2: Temples, Tea, and a Street Food Frenzy)
Morning:
- 08:00 - Coffee Mission: "Success!"
- After a surprisingly good night's sleep, the coffee hunt continues. This time, I'm armed with a translation app and a newfound determination.

- 09:00 - Temple Time: "Lost in the Beauty"
- Visited the Taichung Confucius Temple. The architecture is stunning. I wandered around, feeling utterly serene, even though I had no idea what was going on.
- Anecdote: Accidentally walked into a ceremony. I’m pretty sure I bowed at the wrong time. Oops!
- 11:00 - Tea Ceremony: "A Moment of Zen (and Caffeine Withdrawal)"
- Went to a traditional tea house. The tea master was incredibly patient.
- Emotional Reaction: It was incredibly calming. I'm not sure I'm a tea person, but the experience was beautiful.
- Quirky Observation: The tiny teacups are adorable. And the tea is strong. I'm starting to understand the Taiwanese love of caffeine.

Afternoon:
- 13:00 - Lunch: The Street Food Gauntlet!
- Ventured into a bustling street food market. My senses were assaulted with delicious smells and a sea of people.

- Rambling Thought: I feel like I’m living in a movie. Everything is so vibrant, so alive.
- 15:00 - Retail Therapy and Souvenir Panic:

- Emotional Reaction: This is going to be expensive!
- 13:00 - Lunch: The Street Food Gauntlet!
Evening:
- 19:00 - Night Market Delight: "A Sensory Overload (in the Best Way Possible)"
- The night market is a whole other level of amazing. The lights, the smells, the energy… it's incredible.
- Doubling Down: I discovered bubble tea. Now, I fully understand the obsession. It's the perfect combination of sweet, creamy, and chewy. I may have had three.
- Anecdote: I tried stinky tofu. It smells… strong. But the taste? Actually, not bad! I feel like I earned a badge of honor.
- 21:00 - Back to the Hotel: "Exhausted, Happy, and Ready for More!"
- Back at the hotel, utterly exhausted but buzzing with energy.
- Final Thoughts: This is a trip I will never forget. The people, the food, the chaos… I love it all.
- Prayer: Please, please let me sleep through the night!
- 19:00 - Night Market Delight: "A Sensory Overload (in the Best Way Possible)"
(Day 3: Departure, Reflections, and the Search for a Decent Coffee Maker - Forever…)

- Decision: One last desperate plea to the lobby. Wish me luck!
- 09:00 - Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble:
- Panic: Time to find the perfect gifts!
- Anecdote: Ran around the shops, buying things at the last minute (as usual).
