Fire Trap Because of clutter stairwells. Photo included.
Pros:

Clean crew was very kind

Cons:

They demanded cash, and the clerk was pretty rude about it when I asked why. I contacted Booking.com support. The hotel clerk told Booking.com customer support that their credit card machine was down and that, since it was a Korean holiday weekend, no one from the credit card company would be available to repair it. The credit card company does emergency work, so this was a lie.
The hotel is also a fire trap. The stairwells are used for storage. They store cases of water, blankets, sheets, and other supplies. Photo included. This goes on all day, since they offer hourly rates to couples.

I wouldn’t stay again, but it was suitable for a cheap option for a quick weekend trip.
Pros:

It wasn’t very busy in the hotel and the elevator worked very well. The people at the front desk were welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

The room is not very pleasant. The ceilings are incredibly low, the lighting is dark and difficult and inconvenient to navigate, and the furniture in the room takes up far too much space. Everything feels crammed and dark.

Pros:

Don’t be fooled by the location and price! The location was great but the only accepted cash and no credit cards. They do have an atm machine in the lobby but it only allows so much to be pulled out at one time and it’s not enough to cover the bill. You have to make several withdrawals and each time has a convenience fee. The room was stocked with one shower towel and no shower curtain. The shower had mildew in and around it. The bed was hard and it had a crunchy mattress protector.

Cons:

Don’t be fooled by the price and location!
