Chogye-ri, Jinju hotel rooms at the Independent

"The photos online are quite dated and the hotel is older than it looks. But was clean, reasonably comfortable and friendly staff. The location is a little remote."

"Very friendly owner. She doesn’t speak english, but was able to communicate using a translation app. Nice little apartment overlooking a small river. Good rest stop if you are cycling the Seomjingang bike trail. Steep uphill to reach the place (if you are cycling)"

"The room was big, clean, and very nice. Parking was easy and free too."

"Hotel is not close to anything that was open, the classy bar closed in operable, no cafe. Dark dingy halls like creepy dark. Front desk attendant spoke little English and was not very helpful. We booked 2 nights, but I could not wait to get out of there!"

"Great hotel, still a very new property. Easy check in and very modern room. Only downside for a westerner is the beds were very hard. Otherwise, a great stay. "

"Hot spring is great"

"Had a great time! Kids loved it."

"Close to many restaurants however needs some attention to cleanliness. Rooms were huge but a little dark. "

"방음이 조금 안 되어서 시끄러웠던 거 빼고(히노끼 욕조 있는 바깥 말하는게 아니에요 바깥은 당연한거죠 복도쪽 소리가 엄청 들어와서 잘 때는 침대방 문 닫고 자야 해요. 가족으로 와서 이불깔고 거실에서 잤는데 소리가 넘 많이 울리더라고요) 정말 만족스러운 숙소였어요. 특히 히노끼 욕조는 정말 너무너무 좋았어요. 가족들 모두 엄청 좋아했답니다."
