Manhak-kol, Gongju hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel is newly built, everything was awesome and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic. Staff speak both english and korean. 5000 won breakfast buffet was great value. Only thing I can say is that the location isn’t the best ever, it’s 15mins from subway but you can take the bus, but also it’s opposite a condo showroom that blasts loud house music during daytime working hours so if you aren’t going out a lot I recommend asking for rooms facing the other side."

"Needs some refurbishing Some written hotel info in room will help"

"Very clean and quiet"

"Great staff and location."

"It was the breakfast fresh."

"Great place to stay. Centrally located with excellent staff. "

"Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy this big hotel. Very upscale, clean, and spacious room. Hotel parking was kinda complicated as the parking lot was shared with the shopping mall next door. Was told initially that there’s 12 people ahead of us to check in so we needed to wait our turn. Then within minutes we were given our key to the room. Not quite sure what happened there. "

"Place still looks new. Very clean but sits on business district kind of far from main streets.Still, There were enough restaurants steps aways from the hotel. Had a great morning walk from near lake. Would come back again than go to Daejeon. Sejong city is well planned city and can easily find parking spaces, stores etc. where at Daejeon, had to struggle to find any parking for restaurants nor stores. "

"High class feel with a welcoming lobby reception - high ceiling, shiny walls and floors. We stayed in the family room which was spacious with comfy beds. The bathroom was well partitioned and clean. The laundry facility was handy and free parking was appreciated. The only down side was that apart from the outlet across the parking lot, any other shops and restaurants were a bit of a walk. The included breakfast was a bit of a joke too. I would recommend this place especially if u had your own car or don’t mind calling in a taxi to get around."
