Hotels With breakfast in Gangwon State, South Korea

"The hotel was alright. It was very convenient for us since we drove, and the parking lot was large and free. If you were walking, it would probably be difficult as there's a big hill to climb. The room and facilities were good, and the view was also nice. However, the service was just okay. On the first day, a Korean lady at the front desk insisted we check out at 11 AM and then check in again in the afternoon for our second night. This was because we had booked two separate one-night reservations as only single-night availability was shown at the time of booking. However, on the second day, a middle-aged man at the front desk simply gave us the key card for our new room when we checked out of the first."

"We could checked in 30 minutes early and the front desk were helpful and informative. Location is good, near Sokcho central market. The room is spacious with nice views. Lot of varieties for Breakfast. Definitely will stay at Sea Cruise hotel if come Sokcho again."

"I booked through Trip.com, but the front desk staff couldn't find my reservation, so I had to wait for about 10 minutes. I even showed them my phone with the voucher, but they still couldn't find it. Finally, when they did, they claimed they could only search by name and that my name was inverted, which is why they couldn't find it. If they can only search by name, then why bother issuing a reservation number? What was even more absurd was that they gave me room 1914 in Building A, but it turned out to be a non-existent room. I was so confused wandering around the 19th floor, which only goes up to room 1912. I had to go back down to inquire, and they casually told me they had given me the wrong room number and that it was actually 1904. The staff's attitude throughout all this was incredibly nonchalant, as if it was none of their business. It's unbelievable that this is the attitude of 5-star hotel front desk staff. Wow, I'm never going back!"

"### 3-Night Stay Review Overall, I was quite satisfied with this accommodation. The rooms were spacious, and since all of them offered ocean views, I could enjoy the expansive sea. Having the beach right in front was also great for strolls. I barely heard any noise from other floors or even doors opening and closing next door, making it perfect for a quiet rest. The balcony was large, and the room had a hot/cold water dispenser and a generously sized refrigerator, comparable to what you'd find in a guesthouse, which made it convenient for longer stays. The water pressure in the bathroom was excellent. The foreign staff who handled room cleaning were friendly and spoke good Korean, which made my stay more pleasant. The 12 PM checkout time was also a plus, allowing for a relaxed morning. The parrot in the lobby was a small, charming attraction, especially good for kids. However, there were a few downsides. The elevator area and hallways were hot because the air conditioning wasn't working properly, but it seems there's ongoing construction, so this might improve in the future. With only three elevators serving from the basement parking to the 23rd floor, wait times could be quite long during busy periods. Additionally, most of the shops on the first floor were vacant, leading to a somewhat desolate feeling due to a lack of convenience facilities like a convenience store or cafe. I was also a bit disappointed that the rooftop pool wasn't very large and required an extra fee for each use. In the mornings, it was less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience, and the small heated pool was great for warming up when it was cold. However, if there weren't many users, the bubble pool didn't run the bubbles much, and it was sometimes closed depending on the weather. Regarding breakfast, as blog reviews suggested, the taste of individual dishes was good, but the variety was a bit limited. It was generally satisfactory for a one-time experience. The restaurant was small, and the narrow aisle in front of the food counters made moving around a bit inconvenient. Still, since there aren't many breakfast restaurants nearby and they tend to be expensive, having breakfast at the hotel was more convenient. Especially for families traveling with young children, it's highly recommended as they provide plates, forks, spoons, as well as seaweed, porridge, seaweed soup, and cereal for preschoolers. The biggest advantage was undoubtedly the generous breakfast hours, from 7 AM to 12 PM."
