I have lived in Korea for two years and usually when in the Itaewan area I stay here.But, if you want good wifi or TV with good English channels and a good shower, you might want to look elsewhere. Its all personal preference. One thing that does stand out here is the staff. ALWAYS friendly and helpful. There is a girl there, I think her name was Sandra, who went way out of her way to help me locate a place I wanted to see. Not too many would have done that. Another girl there, from Taiwan, who also speaks great English along with Sandra, is very friendly and helpful. So, it really is what you what at the time. I do stay elsewhere when I plan on relaxing and using the wifi a lot. Its very clean and quiet and I'm sure you will like it there even with the pitfalls.
