There are people waiting for the shuttle at the hotel, but what kind of service is it to just send the shuttle bus that couldn't come in because of the carnivals in front when a group comes behind?

I stayed here with my wife on our first trip to Korea.The room was clean, the customer service was courteous, and the equipment was luxurious and the best.When I accidentally left do not disturb on during the day, they quickly cleaned the room in the evening.On the last day, I completely forgot the check-out time and went to the front desk 3 hours late, but the staff seemed to be attentive and casually told me, ``I've already checked out.''I was very impressed and realized that this is what first-class customer service means.
