Gwangju Cheomdan Hotel Choice

The place was awful. The towels were dirty, and the toilet wouldn’t drain properly. Parking was a hassle in an already car-clogged neighborhood, and it took about 10 minutes to walk to the nearest supermarket. The exterior looked decent, but I wasn’t expecting special treatment. After I paid the full amount for an extra person, I asked for more blankets and was accused of sneaking in without paying. I showed my payment history to clear it up, yet they spent ages checking whether I was hiding in the room or bathroom. I couldn’t believe I was treated that way after paying.

The party room facilities weren’t great for the price, but the owner was what really wrecked the party atmosphere. She ignored the details we’d told her ahead of time about parking, cleanup, and guest numbers, acted like a bully, and it ended with a big argument and us leaving. I think even one star is too generous, but I’m writing this so others might avoid the same experience. If you want a party room, I strongly recommend going somewhere else. I suspect the standard rooms aren’t much different.

The facilities looked nice, but it wasn’t a pleasant stay. Even the staff didn’t know how to use the projector, Bluetooth speaker, or lights, and the iMac seemed so full of viruses that it was unusable, maybe just there for decoration. The moment we checked in, the owner kept bringing up the deposit and money without any prior notice. I knew the BBQ cost extra, but when I asked them to prepare it, it was all about money, money, money. I went there happy to spend, then felt like I owed a pushy woman. I’m giving it two stars only because the facilities looked good. At that price, another motel’s party room would be much better, or you could find a cheaper one in Hwasun or Damyang. I’d recommend it if it were 30,000 won for 4 hours.

We were at a friend’s wedding after-party and had only just started drinking when they told us to leave because there were too many cars. We used a nearby parking lot instead, but they gave us just a 2-hour parking ticket and took a 50,000 won cleaning deposit. Did they even clean? They treated us like trash and ruined the mood, then fought with the groom. Her personality really came out.
