Hotel was difficult to find; it took us 3 tries w/ different GPS apps. Immediate area gives off a severe "sleepy town" vibe. Maybe this place bustles during winter months; I noticed some ski lifts as we drove around. But in mid-summer? Not so much.
There's nothing around the hotel, unless you walk allllll the way down its steep, winding drive. And maybe you will & maybe you'll enjoy exploring the few streets & restaurants (& maybe they'll be open). But then you'll have to walk allll the way back up. That won't be fun.
There's a restaurant in the hotel; prices seem reasonable. The "spa" is traditional Asian bathhouse. Despite "massage" on the website, that's NOT an option; no spa services other than hot spring-style baths, split by gender.
The staff was friendly, but spoke no English, despite advertising Eng/Kor on the website. The hotel hallway carpet should've been replaced a decade or more ago. But, if this place is as popular in winter as I'm guessing, then excessive snow damage WOULD account for the carpet's wear&tear. The room lock is digital & new. Room has a shoe foyer & you step up into the room. The A/C didn't work. Despite advertising "English", nothing in room had an English manual. We both LIVE in Korea & we couldn't make the TV turn on. The beds were FIRM. FIRM. The room & beds were clean. There were summertime bugs in the bathroom (not roaches, just flying bugs from the windows being open).
This place offers hotel-level pricing & motel-quality.
