Hotel Gugu

The room was far smaller than the photos suggested, about the size of a bed and two PCs, even smaller than a studio apartment. The entrance tiles were loose and poorly maintained, and hitting your foot on them could leave it badly hurt. The bathroom faucet was dirty too. For the price, it's dismal. I won't go back.

I've had two really unpleasant experiences, which is why I'm writing this. A few months ago, a couple I know came to Seoul and tried to use hotel theme park. They were told they couldn't drink alcohol with their companions in the room, so they couldn't stay. As they were leaving, someone started swearing at them. A few days ago, I had drinks with someone visiting from Gunsan, and one of us tried to use a room alone. The manager said we couldn't because we'd been smoking outside. We badmouthed the hotel as we left, and then loud profanity came at us from the lobby. Honestly, have they spent a lot of time around thugs? You can tell what the atmosphere is like just by walking out. It makes guests seem like dogs and cows, or whatever.

The smell of milkfish put me off. I wouldn't recommend it.

The place is clean and the service is good. Parking is a bit tight, but valet makes it convenient.
