We booked a suite at this hotel for two nights based on the information provided on Expedia, which stated that it was a 1-minute walk to Gyeongju National Park. However, upon arrival, we discovered that it was actually a 1-hour drive away. The hotel is located at the edge of the city, making it inconvenient to access many places, with travel times ranging from 45 minutes to 1 hour. The master bathroom was a complete nightmare, reeking of sewage. It was utterly repulsive! If that wasn't bad enough, there were strands of hair on the bath towels. Is it too much to ask for basic cleanliness and decency in a hotel? Our discomfort led us to check out early next morning after just one night. I approached the reception to inquire about a refund for the second night, but they refused. It's disheartening that the hotel's misinformation caused so much inconvenience, and they were unwilling to rectify the situation. I also contacted Expedia for assistance, but unfortunately, they couldn't obtain approval from the property manager. It's beyond infuriating. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this hotel. It's a pit of misinformation and filth.

Very nice place,

Had an amazing time. The room was big, bed comfortable and clean and it had everything needed for a 3 day or more stay. Hot tub was clean and perfect temp, pool area was nice. Water was just right. Restaurant on site was welcoming with very sweet staff. We will definitely return and bring our family along.

Quite expensive but nice hotel with 2 pools. We stayed at one of their suites, it’s very spacious. Except main bedroom with en-suite and beds for 3, they also had additional dvd room with 2 big lounge sofa that can be beds for 2. The sofa at living room also can be a bed for 1. So yes, 6 can sleep comfortably in the suite. They had another bathroom in living room. What I most liked about the hotel was the huge windows with ocean view through the entire suite, so I really felt like I was on cruise. One of the cons was the door lock and door bell. It had 6 digit code lock system, but 6 random digits passcode made really inconvenient every time we enter. We tried to ring the bell to get help the door to be opened from inside, but the sound of bell was really weak, so had to bang the door really hard to be noticed or just use the key code but hard to remember every time. In suite S308, the door at main bedroom was alined uneven so couldn’t be closed. Wish I could close the door to block the noise from living room. Also there was no rice cooker like they advertised and had only 3 coffee mugs - not sure it meant to be or missing extras since we booked for 4. Also wish there was a small convenient store in the building or in short walking distance from the property. Other that that, I enjoyed my stay with my family and will love to come back for another family trip.

This property had amazing views of the ocean. We couldn't utilize our private rooftop pool due to the weather but we were able to swim in the enclosed rooftop pool of the hotel. We had a great time, and luckily we had the pool all to ourselves. The upstairs ac and toilet did not work properly. However, the entire unit was clean. The dvd room, bedroom, main bathrooms, and kitchen were wonderful.
