Overall great location for your first time travel to Korea
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Service from some personnel at reception did not understand English very well, while others were very helpful. Also at the restaurant on level 21 staff took a long time to clear plates away. Food choices/ selections also need to be updated as by the 4th day, the selection was the same.
