Stayed for 7 nights in one of the residence rooms and the staff and the room were excellent. This was a birthday getaway and the staff left a complimentary cake in the room upon arrival which we appreciated. Kevin was very helpful with providing us with amenities. The cleaning staff were very attentive when making up the room. Would stay here again.

Me and my partner went to sell South Korea for vacation during the winter time. This hotel wasn’t even our first choice, but this was the best option that Hotels.com could have given us, and it did not disappoint the restaurant in the bar at the hotel offered many selections and they were great. This hotel was walking distance to one of the local market and we enjoyed our trip to the local market. This hotel is highly recommended.
