8.2/10 Very Good! (107 reviews)

I want to start by saying that the room was very clean and there was amenities available such as soap and conditioner and shampoo in the shower and the bathroom was very clean and we were able to use towels provided by the hotel the downside is that this area was a little bit too far from seoul and one of the tours that i book was unable to pick me up because i was out of the range for the hotel pickup it also sucks that while there was breakfast included at my stay it was only available from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. in the morning daily and my schedule always had me um leaving the place around 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. the lodging did not provide boxed breakfast to go other than that it was very comfortable safe and clean and is an ideal place to stay if you want to be in the surrounding area if you want to be in seoul it would be better to stay closer to the city

Was a nice and comfortable stay. The bathrooms unique and stylish. The bed was just firm enough with aome squishiness for a great night sleep. There is also a 24hr emart located in the lobby, which was a suprise. A shame there is no offer for complementary breakfast with the reservation of their more expensive rooms. Just free pool access. Other than that, everything was great!
