This hotel was excellent, it is a great location, just a short walk to all the local attractions. Clean comfortable bedding, Room was nice and warm. Loved the heated toilet seat. We contacted the hotel prior to our visit about my daughter using a Wheelchair and they kindly upgraded us to a more suitable room. They were very helpful on the front desk, booking our taxis and a tour to the DMZ. A great stay and I can highly recommend.
