The room is located in office building floors. The room is clean, but the website photos seems little different from actual looking. It's economic choice to stay for a short trip.

완전 도심에 위치해 있어서 장단점 있어요

1. 세면대 온수가 고장나서 찬 물만 나와요 양치할 때 불편함이 컸습니다 2. 컴퓨터 없어요 3. 상가 건물의 5, 6층이 숙박 시설이라서 운전할 때 초보는 신경 많이 쓰여요(행인들 엄청 많고 주차 공간 협소) 4. 정수기 없고 500밀리 물병 3개 제공합니다 5. 침대 매트리스 꿀렁꿀렁합니다 6. 조금만 걸어가면 편의점 있어서 편해요
