Quite stupid tho, they no longer has that TV channel list. The air-con and lights controller device EOL-ed, mobile phone charging cables replaced by USB port on the wall etc. All 2nd floor toilet's bath tub were taken out (my personal safe box were gone,hehehe...), and replaced by standing shower area. Showering area's floor were replaced by sandy concrete so it becomes less slippery.
They took out most of the room's carpet too, so now you can only see some carpeted rooms on the 3rd floor.

After they did the refurbishment to the rooms few years ago, most of the room at level 2 has been converted to timber floor with standing shower.
However the level 3 rooms still have plenty of carpet room with bath tub. Hopefully they don't convert all the level 3 rooms to timber floor...
Some of the reasons I will still opt for carpet floor room over timber floor room are:
1) After shower with wet body, standing on the carpet is not so freezing cold compared to timber floor...
2) Sense of cosiness with soft carpet feel.
3) Will not fall when standing on carpet unlike timber floor in the room tends to be slippery with wet feet
4) Cheaper to book...weekday rate 480k per night compared to timber floor room at 510k
5) Can relax at the bath tub compare to standing shower (timber floor room)
6) Brings back good old memories of Formosa in the 90s and early 2000s as it retains the original ambience of the room..
7) Rooms with carpet tends to look more premium
