A decent option if you stop in Gwangju
Did it do the job, yes. Was it deserving 4 stars, certainly not. But as always in Korea the staff was efficient and nice.

10/10 Exceptional

Phenomenal. 4-star hotel bordering 5-star (i.e. high-end luxury). The lobby and restaurant smell like roses. Staff are great, kind, very accommodating. High-end for the price paid. Loved it so much I got a 2nd night and upgraded to suite.
