Answer:

Let me give the correct answer.

We went for the third option, the one with price in the middle. We couldn't see ourselves going for the ultra-expensive place, and were a bit put off by their attitude. It would have been less cheesy and gaudy for sure though. And we would have been in the same hotel with numerous Nobel Laureates, as it turned out that the Academica Sinica was hosting an international conference and 70th birthday celebration for its former director, Dr. Lee (a Nobel Laureate). This event was highly controversial as they supposedly spent 500 million NT for this event! Not that these chemists from around the world would have enjoyed the spa and pools as much as we would have.
