The VERY Best
No wonder it's the top hotel in Korea. They try their best to maximize the very best experience during the stay. A small jewelry box on the nightstand is one of the examples my wife and I have not experienced anywhere in the world. The room cleaners come in and check for anything we might need whenever we go out for a few hours. Amazing.
