We arrived in Korea a day late due to complications with Korea's Governmental Paperwork. When we did arrive it was already 9 PM. By the time we were able to get through customs and to the buses, it was about 11 PM. Our only feasible path to the hotel was via bus since there are no trains to the area of the hotel and we didn't speak the language enough for a taxi and google maps has the address wrong. Unfortunately, due to us being foreigners the bus driver kicked us off before we could scan our cards. He shut the door while we were still getting off. There were further issues with racism but overall it was in our best interest to leave Korea altogether. When I asked the hotel to cancel our last night of reservation while explaining our situation they respond with "I know your situation is unfortunate, but you should have checked the schedule and taken action in advance". Our request was prior to the 24-hour cancelation limit for our last night stay. Regardless, our request for the cancelation was denied.
Cause apparently you can schedule around racism...
