Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang hotel rooms at the Independent

"Everything was ok, but make sure to bring mosquito repellent when you go there. There were multiple bloodstains on the wall around the bed, and it turned out they were all marks left by previous guests killing mosquitoes. I got bitten in more than seven places myself. Also I don’t understand why the owner told me that she sold me the room too cheaply, when we paid the exact price shown on Expedia. If that’s an issue, then she should not accept guests through Expedia."

"Clean roon and great staff"

"All good "

"Nice breakfast. Comfortable mattressea. Beautiful ocean view."

"Good "

"Very beautiful hotel. Room was very clean, bathrooms modern! Would definitely stay again. "

"1. The hotel charges a hefty fee for using the Pool(The Hotel should not charge hotel guests for using the pool.) 2. After paying for the pool fee, you are only allowed to reenter the pool ONE time within 30 minutes. (I asked for an explanation WHY?, but the staff did not provide a legitimate answer.)(If you want to come back to the pool, they will charge the same fee as the first time you entered the pool.)(By the way, the fee is around $30 per person) 3. The concierge staff(female) seemed very dull when asked a question and called the manager to handle our situation. After all, I don't think I will be back at this hotel again. My family and I paid $500 per night at this hotel and drove hours to get here expecting 5 star hotel conditions and quality but none of that was met to the standard. "

"This hotel has one of the most spectacular views of ocean and mountains. "

"I stayed in an ocean view room and it was in nice condition but the cheapest room I stayed in wasn’t so you pay for what you get. "
