The location was great, quick pick up for uber and many restaurants and some stores to walk to. It is on a busy main road so can be a little loud at times but it wasn’t a huge issue for us with the a/c and tv slept like babies after walking around all day. I would love to see the garden area cleaned up and better maintained but appreciate a smoking area on site. This would be on the list of places to stay again, saw a few other locations I’d like to check out as well.

Room was overall clean, toilet seat cover was broken when we got there. Room cleaners only come when asked, not automatically everyday. Parking was very easy and useful. Air conditioning was great with remote controlled adjustments.

The hotel was overall perfect. The only problem was that the hotel workers were not able to speak English. In a touristic city, people working in tourism sector should speak English a bit.

Romantic Stay

Overall GREAT hotel if you go with one of the suits. Bed was king size, deep/big tub in bathroom (im 6'2 or 74in). The area didnt seem to be good for visitors due to everything looking like residential homes. This is not the place to stay if you want to party/club/drink all night. However, romantic get away.... YES!

The photos are extremely deceiving

Our initial room was dirty and had a condom on the windowsill. They gave us a better room but still the condition of the hotel does not look anything like the photos.

ホテルの清掃が行き届いておらず、髪の毛やゴミが落ちていました。 またタオルなども必要枚数おいてなかったりと、フロントに行かなけばなりませんでした。ベッドは固く、体が痛くなります。 スタッフは韓国語しか話せず、対応は良くないです。 ホテル滞在が短く、寝るだけでしたら問題ないかとおもいます☺

初めて泊まりました。事前にメッセージを送らせてもらい、スーツケースを預けることができるか聞きました。早朝到着しスタッフさんにその旨を伝えたところ、フロント横のソファ前に置くよう言われました。韓国語があまり分からなくてもなんとかなりました。ホテルに戻った時は自分以外のスーツケースがたくさんありました。奥に置かれた自分のスーツケースを自力で取り出しました。チェックインはスーツケースを預けた際に予約バウチャーなどを見せ、また同じスタッフさんだった為か？ほぼチェックインはなくスルーレベルの速さ（スタッフさんに声かけはした）でよかったです。ちなみにタオルなどどこにあるか最初わかりませんでした。色々と捜索し諦めかけたところ、ここ開くんだ！？という感じで見つかりました。チェックアウトもほぼスルーでした。近くにローカルなスーパーがあり、便利でした。クンジャ駅からも近く良かったです。また機会があったら泊まりたいと思います。
