Parking was so limited that I was told to leave my car outside, and you apparently need to arrive right on time for check-in. About ten minutes after I got to my room, the front desk called about a cigarette smell coming from upstairs. It smelled bad in my room too, but the timing made it feel like they were warning me not to smoke. The bathroom floor is slippery, and the hot water kept getting extremely hot. Haha. I'm giving one star because they provided four bottles of water.

The bedding really does feel five-star quality, just as the Yeogi Eottae reviews said when I booked it over nearby motels. The computer specs are decent too. Water pressure is the one downside. It isn't extremely low, but I wish it were a little stronger.

The huge bathtub and Simmons mattress and bedding felt just like a five-star hotel. It seems they put most of their resources into the bedding, because the computer advertised as high-performance only had a GTX 1060 3G. The no-name FHD monitor had such a poor panel that the grainy, wrinkled-looking image hurt my eyes. The parking spaces were wide. I arrived around 6 PM and there were still spaces, but I wound up in an unpopular spot at the far end.

Valet parking is available, and the check-in and check-out times are especially appealing. The basement-level-one lounge has an instant ramen machine and a photo zone, and seems set up for couples meeting near the station and business travelers. At checkout, they moved my parked car up to the entrance, which was excellent service.
