French Code Hotel

The place was clean and comfortable. After a full day of walking, the massage chair in the premier room was great.

It was a sparse, practical room, but it worked and had everything I needed. For the price, you really can't go wrong.

The owner and staff were so friendly and helpful. They gave us directions, suggested local places to eat, and even drove us to the Naval Academy. It's a family-run boutique hotel with great hospitality. Our room was neat and clean, with heated flooring and a heated bed. We were upgraded to a larger room with a huge bathroom, massage chair, and clothes sanitizer and steamer. There was free coffee in the lobby and bottled water in the room. We came for cherry blossom season, and the location worked well: the river is within walking distance, and Gyeonghwa Station Cherry Blossom Street is a short bus ride away. The blossoms weren't fully out yet during our visit, but it was still beautiful. The small-town streets of Jinhae are lined with trees and are definitely one of the places to enjoy cherry blossoms in South Korea. We'd stay here again if we come back to Jinhae.

The kind gentleman who runs the hotel was the best part of our stay. He answered all our questions and helped with what we needed, then recommended some grilled BBQ meat that was the best we've had during our time living in Korea. My family stayed overnight during cherry blossom season, and the place suited us well as a clean, comfortable, affordable, and safe spot for the night. Popular sakura sights were only a six-minute drive away, and there were local restaurants and a 7-11 convenience store nearby.
