I was provided with an Upang Sterilizer for the glass, cups, and utensils, which I believe will be very useful for families with infants or toddlers for their milk bottles or utensils, and even for breastfeeding moms to sterilize their pumping needs. The room was excellent, highly recommended for business stays. It was clean and well-maintained, making it a very clean and easy-to-operate facility.

The location is convenient, although it's away from the center of the city. It was okay but be prepared to pay for a box to store excess shopping stuff. The hotel is also close to Seoul.

The dining venue opened only at 7 am, which may not cater well to business travelers. I suggest heading to The Buffet for breakfast if you're an early riser.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were top-notch, especially with the Upang Sterilizer provided, which is extremely convenient for families with infants. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, though there was a small hiccup with the broken AC for two nights. The location, while convenient, was a bit away from the city center. The dining experience opened a bit late for early risers but offered fresh and well-prepared options. Overall, a great choice for business stays with excellent facilities and services.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel. The room, although a bit worn, had a wonderful view of the Hangang river, making it a great spot to relax. The Upang Sterilizer provided was a thoughtful touch for families with infants or toddlers. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond despite the summer heat. However, the additional charge for a storage box was a downside.
