Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok
The cleaning staff were exceptional. My room was on the 12th floor, shout out to the cleaning staff for doing an amazing job. Overall staff was great. With Accor brands I usually stay at Pullmans, this was a great choice.

Mayfield Hotel Seoul
We were there just for a couple of nights. The property itself is really nice. The Mayfield Suites building was outdated and no concierge attendant. This would be my only complaint or criticism of our stay at the Mayfield.
