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.
