Chungbaesil, Jinan hotel rooms at the Independent

"Wonderful time. Minus the room having a party until 5a. Sleep was rough. "

"I showed up at the property. There was no one there and the place seemed deserted. I found another place to stay.VERY DISAPPOINTING! I asked Expedia for a refund but not yet received. No other guests or evidence of any presence found. "

"Cozy place and good value for the money"

"It was extremely dirty everywhere except for the room which was ok. Barely adequate. The bar/kitchen area looked completely abandoned as though some disaster had hit the place and everyone had run away. The basement area, where we eventually found out we had to make breakfast with mouldy bread was disgusting. There was a large dead cockroach in the sink and the walls were crumbling. We’re not fussy people but this was really bad and we left after one night. The only communication we had was through Instagram with the manager. Not a common thing for people in their 60’s. The photos are from many years ago and the promises in the text are just not available. In summary, one to avoid.."

"small, but cozy and kind staff "
