"Great location to sites. Recommended by Lonely Planet, but room was a little shabby, dominated by a huge marble bath surrounded by astroturf which smelt like plastic. The bath was placed between the room and window, making the room dark. Breakfast was very good although they kept running out of items. Luggage storage was not secure, by the entry door. Personnel were the usual, kind Koreans who tried their best to be helpful."
