Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very nice and the staff was wonderful! The bed was the traditional hard mattress and not very comfortable. You have a choice between a Korean or Continental style breakfast. There are many restaurants, shops, and things to do in the immediate area. The one major complaint we had was the air conditioner drained into the bathroom. This is not unusual in Korea but the water did not run straight to the drain; it pooled around the drain and we had a pool of water in the bathroom by the sink and toilet.
