What Guests Say About Their Stay

Jae Hye

Highly recommend this hotel. The location is super convenient and felt very safe. The room was incredibly spacious for one person and nice and quiet during the weekdays. Having a convenience store right on the ground floor was a huge bonus! The only minor thing was that the air conditioning was pretty loud, so I ended up turning it off during the night, but it wouldn't stop me from staying here again.

Air conditioning wasn’t working or not turned on and it is May. I want to sleep comfortably but can’t because it was 28 in the room. You can’t open the windows because of the noise outside. The location is awesome but who cares if you are too tired to enjoy the area.

Very nice hotel staff, welcoming. Room was very clean and spacious. I was provided extra towels and water. Very nice to have microwave, hot water, and cold water dispensers though a bit of a hassle to have to leave the room to get it.
