The garden is quite nice, so it's good to take a walk while staying at the hotel.Because it is far from downtown Gyeongju, the facilities within the hotel are important.There is only one restaurant for dinner, and the menu is vague, which is a bit disappointing. However, the spaghetti is pretty good, the chili shrimp is generous, and the sauce is not too sweet.There are various auxiliary facilities (outdoor swimming pool, sauna), but it is a bit disappointing to say that they are good.

I suddenly had a travel schedule just before Chuseok, but most places were fully booked, so I had no choice but to choose this place.It feels more genuine to guests who come to golf rather than to hotel guests. The parking lot in front of the building is mostly occupied by priority parking for the golf course, so unless you're very lucky, you have to drag the car and go to Jochangjang down there. I arrived at the hotel in a good mood and had to climb for 3 or 4 minutes with my suitcase (my first time).The room key is the key (this is my first time seeing it). The room looks like it has been remodeled and is not luxurious, but it is spacious and clean. But I don't know what's wrong, but every time I open the bathroom door, I'm startled by a banging sound.Disposable items are incredibly unprepared for a hotel. There are few towels, no toothbrush, no toothpaste, no toothbrushing cup, and at the very least, there is no notepad or pen to ask the cleaner anything (my first time seeing it).The breakfast had very few items and the ones that were there were not tasty. If the hotel didn't have the keyword "breakfast" attached to it, I would have reported it to the Consumer Protection Agency. But even the service is poor. You have to throw away your own food and bring your own plate (this is my first time seeing it). I can see that they are trying to cut costs here and there.This is not the worst hotel I've been to. But the price there was cheap. I don't know what kind of shit they are charging this price for.Go only when there are unavoidable circumstances, and even if you do happen to go, don't request breakfast. There are cup ramen noodles made with buffalo wing products, and those two are the most delicious.

There is a golf course, so the surrounding scenery is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious. It was nice to have a yoga program in the morning and there were many photo spots. I like the Mauna Resort with an ocean view, but a hotel with Bulguksa Temple is also great.

There are no tall buildings in the surrounding area, so it is very quiet as it is located inside a golf course. The building was completed in 1978, so it is not new, but the facilities have been updated and improved. As for the water in the guest room, the vitamin capsule shower head made the water feel soft, but the shower head holder couldn't be fixed in the right direction, probably because it couldn't withstand the weight, so it was a disappointing experience.
