The staff is very friendly especially Cho Joon Lee who works late night and the elderly man who guards the door early morning smiles and wave at me each time i walk out the door or come back. Most of all they respect your privacy. I will definitely stay here again upon my return to Korea.

The breakfast was good as it provided a base meal for us during our stay each morning. We actually booked double bed deluxe room, but it turned out to be a single-sized bed. We stayed at RM 1110. This is a bit a disappointing.
