Homers Hotel
Excellent staff! They were very kind and helpful. The only issue was the lack of a proper system for storing our luggage while we traveled to Jeju. It took a little extra effort to confirm they'd hold our bags until we returned for our next stay. Please consider streamlining your baggage hold ...
