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.

飯店內空間夠大，美中不足是床太硬。如果訂房時間是48小時內，前台容易找不到訂房資料，需請前台至訂房網站後台取得最新資料。周圍有些餐廳開到很晚，不用擔心沒飯吃，但大多數餐廳不接獨自一人。
