Sangju, North Gyeongsang hotel rooms at the Independent

"The man who checked us in was not very friendly but the woman at information was much friendlier. The area is a bit dead in the evenings, not much to walk to, but it is a short drive to the folk village and we had a great Korean bbq dinner just around the corner from the hotel. "

"The hotel itself is lovely, with clean rooms and a comfortable atmosphere. However, I was disappointed with the front desk staff. Unfortunately, they were not as friendly or welcoming as I had hoped, which affected the overall experience. While the hotel’s amenities were great, the customer service at check-in could definitely use some improvement."

"Our stay was absolutely wonderful!! The room was very clean and the location was perfect to easy access to popular attractions. And staff was friendly and professional. Highly recommended this hotel for anyone visiting the area!!"

"Large spacious"

"The bathroom was not convenient."

"remoted facility in the mountain side. This resort for private company use before... now open to public. Not so much facility inside (one restaurant and one shop). Limited staffs who need to care everything for front desk and small coffee bar. However open hot spring facility is very good (of course you need to pay). Breakfast restaurant closes too early. "

"Last I was at this hotel and Suanbo was 1987. The hotel has not been upgraded since then. Originally the Hot Springs was the attraction. Community Hot Springs were available. Now they only offer separate Hot Springs for Male and Female. In town there is a Hot Spring foot bath. Not as fun as it used to be. The Hotel Staff were excellent though. "

"Its a charming little town. The owner of the hotel is very friendly and helpful (he gave a discount card to the bath house). The hot water spring is close by, to dip your feet in. It was wonderful. The minerals in the water were beneficial, you could see the difference right away. The room rate matches the accommodations."

"It was good I loved the view and the care provided by the reception staff. I wished they offered room service."
