"I chose the Sohyang room and it was a bit smaller than expected. I think it's okay if you're only staying for a night or two but since I stayed almost a week, I wish I went for a larger room. Good amenities and room was clean. I had a little trouble checking in but the staff was very helpful. I would stay here again."
