Safety issue beyond discomfort... Avoid!!!

I have never seen the restroom where there is no shower curtain or glass wall, yet electrical outlets are put right next to the tub without any protection such as even simple cap to avoid splash from shower. This is not even the matter of satisfaction but safety. I blame both hotel and municipal government with lame administration and maintenance.

Scary

I had no choice but to book this hotel due to a conference scheduled to take place at the hotel. When you walk into the lobby, it looks like a nice hotel. The reception desk is to the far left past an awkwardly placed ATM machine. It looked like no one was behind the desk until you came closer and someone was sitting so low behind the counter, you could not see that person unless she stood up. You would've think, being Korea and customer service is very well established, that she would greet you upon hearing the rolling of your luggage wheels however, she just sat there until you put your elbows on the counter and said "excuse me". I get it that Pohang is an industrial city and that the hotel is not an international hotel, so English is not practiced however, about 200 people were attending this conference and they knew well in advance the Americans were coming. I went to the hotel gym only to find it dark and unoccupied. The bar was also "closed". It was a ghost hotel, only the woman behind the reception counter was the only employee. I bought the daily breakfast buffet package for KrW10,000. I came to breakfast around 0800 every morning and most of the food was gone. The porridge looked like it stayed in the crock pot overnight and became a pot of thick paste with a crust on top. The eggs were cold and the rice was old! Not worth the money. The room is a comfortable size but scary! The carpet looks as if someone was mass-murdered and no one bothered to clean it. The ba

Not impressed; Not recommend

Poor service! Everytime I would "try" to call the front desk/service there would be no answer. For about 5 hrs the TV, phones, and internet was down. I go down to the front desk.....no one there. (Sign up...Be back in 5 mins). Room carpet looked like a murder scene from a movie, and there was no shower curtains....so lots of water every morning. Sleeping that bed was like out doors camping on the ground. No gym on site...website shows pictures of a good looking gym. False advertising no gym. Not impressed and not recommended. Stay at the local homeless shelter....Better service and facilities.

Not a bad hotel, Best Western probably best choice

Nice hotel, big and spacious but old. There is no gym as noted on website. Floor is dirty and carpet is old inside the room, but the room is not overall bad. Would be my #2 choice behind Best Western in the future. Staff was helpful and kind. 2 spacious beds for the family (wife and 2 kids). AC was immediately available and room was cold in a pinch.

Looks are deceiving!

When you see the hotel from the outside and the lobby, you get a great first impression, but do not be deceived! The check-in took less than 30 seconds, which is always great! However, upon entering our room, it immediately made me wonder what the maid does when "cleaning" the room. There were old candy and gum wrappers up against the baseboards. The floor was incredibly stained. The room overall looked dilapidated and in dire need of renovation. A really dirty appearance and completely unappealing. Definitely not worth the amount of money that they ask for on a nightly basis.
