The
hotel
is
newly
built,
so
the
facilities
are
clean,
and
the
service
is
not
bad,
but
compared
to
other
Korean
hotels
like
Shilla
Stay,
it
lacks
in
some
aspects
of
service.
For
instance,
although
you
can
rent
a
mobile
phone
charger,
you
need
to
request
it
during
check-in.
If
you
ask
for
it
later,
they
might
run
out
of
chargers,
as
it
happened
to
me
when
I
requested
one
around
9
PM.
While
you
can
get
battery
charging
service
at
the
concierge
in
the
lobby,
there
was
no
information
about
this
option
unless
you
visit
the
concierge
in
person.
This
contrasts
with
other
Korean
hotel
brands
that
make
an
effort
to
provide
alternative
services
if
mobile
phone
charger
rental
is
unavailable.
Around
10
PM,
I
visited
the
convenience
store
inside
the
hotel
but
found
that
there
was
no
milk
available,
and
they
only
had
Evian
water.
Even
sterilized
or
powdered
milk
was
not
there,
and
they
explained
it
was
sold
out
due
to
more
people
visiting
than
expected.
It
was
quite
surprising
and
disappointing,
considering
it's
a
hotel
located
in
the
center
of
Pangyo,
not
a
remote
area
like
Gangwon
Province
or
an
isolated
island.
The
swimming
pool
can
only
be
used
for
1
hour
and
10
minutes
per
day
(1
hour
on
weekdays),
which
makes
it
relatively
clean
and
pleasant
since
there
are
few
children
using
it.
However,
out
of
the
3
lanes
in
the
pool,
one
lane
is
exclusively
for
members,
so
hotel
guests
practically
have
access
to
only
2
lanes.
Moreover,
when
staying
for
one
night
and
two
days,
you
get
one
hour
of
pool
usage
on
the
check-in
day
and
one
hour
on
the
check-out
day.
After
I
got
out
of
the
swimming
pool,
it
was
around
8:30
PM
and
I
tried
to
reserve
the
pool
for
the
next
day,
there
were
no
available
time
slots.
This
lack
of
information
or
guidance
during
check-in
about
the
potential
booking
limitations
is
also
disheartening.
The
basic
locker
room
at
the
swimming
pool
has
only
two
shower
booths
and
has
no
space
for
any
other
activities
such
as
changing
clothes.
(There
are
no
amenities
like
dressing
tables,
chairs,
or
hair
dryers
typically
found
in
regular
locker
rooms.)
There
is
an
additional
sauna
service
that
requires
a
fee
of
$30,
but
I
didn't
use
it,
so
I
can't
provide
any
feedback
on
that.
The
fitness
center
is
open
24/7
and
has
a
spacious
and
pleasant
environment,
with
various
equipment
available.
However,
they
charge
$30
per
person
for
programs
like
yoga
or
GX,
which
are
available
exclusively
for
hotel
guests.
The
food,
especially
the
diverse
and
delicious
Korean
dishes
offered
at
breakfast
and
the
cafe
bakery,
is
tasty.
The
elevators
are
problematic;
during
busy
check-in
times,
the
waiting
time
is
notably
long.
Some
floors
feel
cramped,
requiring
walking
instead
of
using
elevators.
Moreover,
the
wooden
key
cards
used
for
elevators
are
not
convenient,
as
when
there
are
many
people,
each
person
needs
to
use
their
key
card
individually
to
activate
the
elevator
button
for
their
floor.
In
summary,
the
hotel's
facilities
are
good,
but
the
service
is
not
very
friendly,
and
the
costs
are
relatively
high.
(I
stayed
on
a
Saturday
and
it
cost
me
$300
for
a
twin
room.)They
provide
free
parking
for
one
vehicle
per
room
for
hotel
guests,
but
for
other
visitor
vehicles,
they
impose
expensive
parking
fees
of
$2
per
10
minutes.
If
you
use
the
bakery
or
other
facilities,
they
offer
free
parking
for
1
hour
and
30
minutes.
It
is
a
hotel
with
a
swimming
pool
in
the
city
center,
which
makes
it
attractive
for
business
purposes,
but
it
is
not
very
accommodating
for
families
with
children.
The
location,
however,
is
convenient.
