"### 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."
