I visited the Holiday Inn Gwangju Hotel for a wedding.The exterior of the building is pretty as it is a new building.The wedding hall looked good at first glance, but upon closer inspection, all the flower decorations inside were fake flowers.After the wedding, I went to the buffet restaurant next door, and wow, there were so many types of food and the quality was trash.I don't know how much they charge per person, but the raw fish in particular was discolored and looked spoiled.Oh, the food here is really trash.This is the worst buffet or wedding food I've been to in the past 10 years.
