Basic business hotel - always smooth check-in/out and had breakfast included this time so good value. Location super both for business/tourists. It shows that the hotel is some years old now but would still stay again.

It is close to the US embassy and Korean tourist spots. So the Korean policemen are around the hotel. I felt no inconvenience from walking from/to hotel at even late night. The staffs are kind. The breakfast is amazing. You are not allowed to take stairs when you movw. The elevator is only activated when you tap your card. The emergency stair sign should be on the door, not the behind the door. I wanted to take stair to get downstairs and I realized there was no way out after I closed the door behind me. The lady at the front said it is for the security reason.
