Excellent stay. Exceed my expectations. The lobby of convention hotel is grand, peaceful and modern. I was also worried that it would be inconvenient to reach the ski slopes however the shuttle buses were frequent and you can get to the slopes quickly. The bus stop drop off point is right outside the ticket office for ski passes. There are a few bus routes, not complicated to navigate. Hotel service was welcoming and superb from check in/out to housekeeping. Special thanks to Jun Ho Lee, English is excellent and knowledgeable about the hotel. He wrote all the room service times on the key card holder which was very nice. As foreigners we received discount coupons for ski rental and pass. View from room was nice and loved the cream and shower gel etc. Room service was quick and portions are huge. Also how it was delivered was really good too with the robot. Overall very good and comfortable stay.

“Geschmackssache”

Ein Hotel, in das vermutlich nur wenige Europäer kommen, da es primär einheimischen Gästen als Ferien- und Spielerdomizil für das im Haus befindliche Spielcasino dient. Insofern ist alles auf den koreanischen Geschmack ausgerichtet, der für den Europäer - na ja - Geschmackssache ist. Unterm Strich … Mehr

Ein Hotel, in das vermutlich nur wenige Europäer kommen, da es primär einheimischen Gästen als Ferien- und Spielerdomizil für das im Haus befindliche Spielcasino dient. Insofern ist alles auf den koreanischen Geschmack ausgerichtet, der für den Europäer - na ja - Geschmackssache ist. Unterm Strich bleiben aber sehr geräumige, gut ausgestattete Zimmer, freundlicher Service und ein üppiges Frühstücksbuffet, das keine Wünsche offen lässt. Wen das Disney-Land ähnliche Ambiente in den koreanischen Bergen nicht stört ist hier gut - und relativ preisgünstig - aufgehoben.

My daughter and I stayed here during the Chusok Holiday (Korean Thanksgiving). It's normally a 3.5 hr drive from Seoul (when not leaving/returning on a Chusok exodus day). - It's located in a beautiful mountainous area - The resort grounds are very nice. Manicures lawns, lots of flowers and foliage - The interior of the hotel is on par with what you'd expect at the Vdara or Aria hotels or perhaps almost to the level of the Trump hotel in Vegas (I've stayed at all the aforementioned locations) - We were given a room w 2 queen beds. Very roomy (gigantic by Japan standards) and nicely appointed though I wouldn't say it was luxurious - the bathroom was quite large with a large separate shower with rain shower head and separate wand. There was a large stand alone bathtub (think modern claw foot tub) with shower wand attachment - probably the nicest tub I've seen at a hotel - parking was a bit confusing. But it's self parking to the right, opposite the hotel as u turn left into hotel area (it appears to be underground). We valet parked. It was 15,000 Won (about $13.50 US) per day - Fireworks every night we were there were amazing. I'd put it on par w the Disney Land (California) fireworks (which I've seen numerous times). Coordinated to music, including some contraption that shoots balls of fire. We watched from our, almost top floor room a few nights, best view - 1.5 hrs drive away from Samcheok beaches. Clear blue water. Gorgeous. Clear bottom kayaks for rent at some beaches (20,000 Won for 2 person, 40,000 Won for family boat - all clear bottom so you can see into the water) - about 1 hour drive to rail cars, 45 minute drive to glass U-shaped sidewalk goes over cliff. It's right next to probably the longest, highest (and scariest) zip-line ride I've ever seen. Probably 1.25+ mile long and over 2,000 ft above ground at the beginning - We were the only Westerners we saw while there - very few English-speakers at the hotel, but don't let it dissuade you. It wasn't a problem for us - The restaurants were merely marginal. The food was not remotely amazing, yet of course it was very expensive (think resort prices) - there is a casino there and we walked through to go to a restaurant but didn't play - a Big negative was they wanted 14,000 Won per person to have access to the swimming pool. I've never heard of a resort charging to have access to the swimming pool. Not at The Trump, The W, the Fairmont - all hotels have a similar or higher star rating. We just thought that was lame. - There were lots of activities for parents and young children on the big grass lawn
