Great location, rooms were as advertised and clean, bathroom showing their age slightly but overall the hotel is pretty good. Dining at the hotel expensive but plenty of dining options nearby so no real issue (the few times we went to the rooftop the restaurant was very empty, could be so much more with those amazing views!), great opportunity….

Property is conveniently located to everything. Plenty of dining options surrounding the hotel with entertainment and beach activities. Hotel room was okay with crisp clean linens. The bathroom could’ve been cleaner and was extremely moldy.

Facilities need upkeep
The doors/barriers between the shower and the rest of the bathroom would not close properly so every time I would shower water would get all over the floor.

Very nice hotel for the price. Great location. Beautiful views of the beach AND city. Convenientl to restaurants, bars and shops. My room was clean and spacious. The room had a mini bar (addt'l charge of course) and the tv came equipt with Netflix. The front desk staff spoke decent english. The 15th floor has the hotel restaurant with even more amazing views and a very good breakfast buffet. Its a little over priced at nearly 30,000 krw. A longer stay would have allowed me to view the other dining options in the restaurant. I only stayed 1 night, so the only negative i could find was that the elevators are painfully slow. Other than that, a great hotel experience.

Great stay for family of four.
Amazing views of the beach from the room. Location of the hotel is right across from the beach. Room was very clean. On-site parking was very convenient. The breakfast buffet had many options. We would definitely stay here again. Staff were pleasant and did their job.

It was beautiful room, great location, staff was very accommodating and friendly. But we couldn't park onsite because car was "too big" (Kia K8 sedan).

Cleanliness was average. The room and bathroom were clean, but there were a few spots where the room was not clean completely. I did appreciate that the staff cleaned the room well during my visit. The weather outside did not warrant the heat to be turned on inside the rooms. The AC and Auto function of the room HVAC was disabled, and only heat could be turned on. I ended up opening the window and turning off the unit to help cool it down, but it did not work well. Additionally, the area was really loud, so when the window was open, I had to use earplugs to be able to sleep well. Other than those items, the stay was nice. It was conveniently located. I am pleased.
