Everything was great right from check in, my only small complaint is that the bedroom lights hanging from the ceiling were covered in dust. Maybe something that gets overlooked because the rest of the room was fine. Aside from that, I would stay here again.

Staff of The Life Hotel were really friendly, very accommodating ; shout out to Rick, Jackson, Emanie and Gene!! They coordinated our logistics on the day of our arrival and checkout (like keeping our luggage in secure storage, offered a flat rate taxi to the airport). The room was impressive 1800s vibe, reminded me of my grandma's home. However the bathroom has some molds on some corners of the sink. I think an exhaust would help lessen that. Nevertheless, the whole stay was a pleasant experience and would luv to go back next time. And if you luv Korean stuff, this hotel is in the midst of Korea Town, and that is a treat!
