My stay at the hotel was overall okay. The room, while spacious compared to other hotels in this price range, had an old smoky smell that was a bit off-putting. The hotel could benefit from some renovations to improve the condition of the rooms. The location near Myeongdong was a highlight for shopping enthusiasts.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, despite being clean and comfortable with great pillows, were smaller than expected and had dim lighting. The service was friendly and helpful, offering basic amenities, but nothing above and beyond. The location was strategic, near popular shopping areas and the subway, although it could get uncomfortably hot at times. The dining options were decent during my stay, but nothing exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
