Hotel Plum

The hallway was filthy, and the place seemed badly maintained. On my business trip to Ansan, I picked it because it was close to my company, but the room was extremely cold and the hot water took ages to come through. The bathroom reeked of cigarettes, so I felt disgusted the whole time I showered. I've traveled all over the country and never seen a place this poorly kept. I won't stay here again.

The owner and valet were friendly, and the place was fairly clean. I was here for a business trip, though the interior smelled a bit of cigarettes. The surroundings are so congested that even getting in can be difficult unless you're confident at driving. Keep that in mind.

There are lots of convenience stores, bars, and places to eat around here, and getting a taxi to Oido cost 10,000 won. The owner was really friendly. We stayed to have grilled clams and unwind, using the basement party room, which had enough space for the four of us.

After our allotted time was up, they shut off the power without even calling first. When I asked the desk clerk for extra towels while we were in the waiting room, the response was basically, “Why are you asking for extra towels in a waiting room?” I wouldn't have stayed if we hadn't prepaid. I wasn't expecting great service, but I guess places like this are still around. They should respect the time limit.
