Did not get to eat breakfast so can’t comment on that. But the property was nice and clean. Furniture in the rooms were kind of outdated and some were damaged like the lamp shades. But overall cozy accommodation

The property is not the cleanest. Unjust fired employees from 4 years ago created a crowd and protesting with loud music right at the entrance of the hotel. Something sad and unexpected to see in South Korea. Rooms are cleaned every day and the property and rooms are outdated and smell old. The location is great however
