Top hotels in Daepo-dong
Ramada Sokcho Hotel
Generally a good stay. Only issues is that they seem to be out of the taxi zone. Easy to get to the hotel, but hard to get a pick up from the hotel back to town.

Cassia Sokcho
일단 신상 숙소라 전반적으로 시설이 세련되고 깔끔한 느낌이었습니다. 관리가 잘 된 느낌이에요. 무엇보다 모든 직원분들이 친절하고 서비스 마인드가 훌륭하셨습니다. 대단히 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 다만, 투숙객에 비해 체크인 담당 인력이 다소 부족해 대기 시간이 길었다는 아쉬움은 남습니다. 3시에 딱 맞춰 도착했는데 1시간 정도 기다렸네요.

Hotel Maremons
While the service was friendly, I felt the hotel itself was not as advertised. The hotel itself seemed a little outdated. The bed was dreadfully hard and the pool was drained and closed. Overall it was pretty underwhelming.
