Dissatisfaction that ruined the good, but, there was no choice
Pros:

Good location in the center of town, convenient parking, plenty of amenities nearby, recommended for business use.

Cons:

The cleanliness is very concerning. The hallway was damp and hot. It needs ventilation. The handles were sticky. The cleanliness of the room was very unsatisfactory. There was a cockroach under the bed. I hesitated to look under the bed. The desk staff seemed accustomed to such complaints.

Bad
Pros:

The worst hotel I ever experienced. I was freezing and finally got terrible cold the first night. Same temperature as outside. Need to heat up when check in, took several hours. Everything cold, everything. No body say sorry for this bad experience. No English talking people. Even for invoice, I pushed several times. I am on business trip at least one third per year in worldwide countries. It is the worst one I ever experience. I have to take medicines when I back.....

Cons:

Room freezing, breakfast very very simple. Staff especially in the restaurant not professional. No English talking.

Quirky but limited choices
Pros:

Only hotel in that area but a good location close to restaurants and transit.

Cons:

Room temperature controls did nothing. Crazy hot to the point we had to sleep with their window open during winter (lows approaching freezing). Everything is controlled by a remote control but the buttons didn't always work. Bidet flushed itself every 2 hours all night. They moved us but the heat problem persisted. Perhaps our room was a lemon. Reservations only accepted 4 to 6 weeks in advance. Very strange.

Unexpectedly satisfy with the stay and would love to stay in again during my next work trip.
Pros:

I stay in the twin bed room, with one queen & one single bed. The room facilities are good and my room view is fantastic. The toilet are big and it separated into toilet room & bathroom. The toilet bowl is automated and it has the function of a bidet to wash. Amenities are given generously, it comes with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shaver, toothbrush with toothpaste and hair dryer. TV, aircon & room lighting can be control my one controller and reception will inform during check in. Reception are friendly but it is expected that they don't know how to speak in English at all, it will be terribly difficult to ask them for direction. There are also lots of food & convenience store around within walking distance.

Cons:

Breakfast is boring and it stay the same everyday for a week. I stayed there for 5 days and they serve the same food. Don't expect a lot from the gym as they only serve basic gym set like dumbbells and so on. Location is far away from city, if you are looking forward to travel to the city, don't stay here. The closest train station is Byeollae Station, walking distance is about 10-15 minutes, it will take roughly 1 hour to the city by train.

Pros:

I had to scurry and find a hotel in Seoul. I found Hotel the May and will definitely be back. Property is gorgeous, staff is amicable and helpful and the surrounding area has multiple restaurants. A bit off the beaten track for tourist attractions, but that was what I was looking for. Will definitely be visiting again soon!
