All good except the bathroom smell (really bad)

Location was amazing and the room was clean. I only have one complaint, which is the chronic sewage smell in the bathroom. I’m not sure whether is was just our bathroom but the smell was absolutely horrible.

The location is great for the drone show on saturday. The view of the beach is amazing. That is where the good ends. The beds was a box spring!! When we asked to change rooms to a real bed since we both have back issues they said all the beds were the same. We were looking in the open rooms and saw they were not the same. Then they said come back at noon (and waste our entire morning). So we came back at noon and they were still trying to give us a room with a box spring. Finally we took pictures of the two types of beds and they said upgrades will cost us. We get nervous bc they fought us so hard on changing but it was only $14 usd for 2 nights!!!! Ugh. Why fight with us and not offer the upgrade first? The pools are not included and each pool is a separate charge per person/ per day ($22 more… way more expensive than a room upgrade). There is no onsite laundry. They did hook us up with one free day at the pool after we bought a one use pass for our trouble but the pool was full of slimy algae. So frustrating!

The bed was quite uncomfortable. Minimal pillows and towels which is kind of unusual for hotels. The plus is that the area has a lot of restaurants and food nearby. It is a busy area when we went in September.

Deception, this hotel needs some love

The only great thing about the hotel is the view and the location. As a foreigner tourist, I don't recommend going there, the staff service was cold and rude. They don't speak any English. They charge 20 000 Korean won to use the gym per person as it was never said anywhere in the booking site. The lady was pressuring us to pay now. The hotel is not a 4 star hotel in any way. The reception hall feels like a cold shopping mall. The only nice thing about the room is the view, the bed was not comfortable and the room is pretty in bad shape. This hotel needs some renovations the elevator was rusty. I recommend paying a little more and going elsewhere!

또 가고싶어요

짐 맡기러 갔다가 체크인을 일찍해주셔서 피곤한 시점에 푹 쉬고 덕분에 즐거운 여행이 됐어요! 바다 전망과 접근성은 말할 것도 없고, 침구나 어메니티도 너무 좋았습니다. 친구들이 굉장히 만족스러워했어요. 엘레베이터나 복도에서 마주치는 직원분들도 친절하시고 신경많이 써주시는 모습이 좋았습니다. 다만 변기 flash 버튼이 작동하지 않는다고 말씀드렸는데도 안됐던 점이 아쉬웠어요...
