Last minute room that came in handy. I think it should’ve been a tad bet cheaper for the quality. But I’m appreciative of the stay nonetheless.

LOL, did not know that this was a love hotel. Needed a hotel/motel for a one-night stay. This place wasn't exactly clean as the towels had a few stains and the amenities are limited. As soon as I got off the elevator, I heard loud but passionate moaning from the "opened" room across from mine. LOL, this was a good first time experience, but I wouldn't recommend staying here longer than 1-2 days if you're single.

저렴해서 좋았던곳

정말 좁디좁은 방이였어요. 오래된 모텔인듯했고 서비스... So so... 다만 방이 뜨끈뜨끈해서 제대로 쉴수있었어요. 주변 식당도 많고 맛집도 꽤 있더군요~ 나름 저렴히 잘 쉬었어요.
