Hotel Summit

I haven't slept so good in ages! Ngl, otw to the building, we passed a couple hotel/motels and I got worried that maybe the pictures wouldn't match with current conditions. That heavens this wasn't the case! The property is set back a tiny but from the road it's on, allowing for parking right in the front. The property is very clean, simple, and pretty. It's also very conveniently and directly across the street from a convenience store (a mere 30sec walk). The gentleman who manned the front desk during my stay was sweet and diligent. Even though there wasn't really any view from my room's window, I did face the sunrise and got healing rays. The room layout is simple and spacious, easily fitting 1-2 people comfortably. The bathroom, however, boy do I have a pickle with that. 1. Loved the toilet!! 2. The sink was also great. 3. But the shower. The shower was a battleground. The shower-head was too big for the holder that allows you to adjust the height and position of the shower-head. The fixed wall-mount for the shower-head sits up too high and the water sprays as if its attacking you. I spent the first 8 minutes just trying to defeat the water boss! To which I finally found a solution: take the shower-head and drape the cord behind the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner containers. Then rest the head behind the overhead shower-head's pole for support and direction the shower-head where you like. Goodness gracious it was a battle I did not expect. Besides the shower battle, everything else was so great. I'd definitely stay at Summit again should I every travel the SW of S.Korea again.

A 15-minute bus ride away (depends on traffic) from the Gwangjusongjeong KTX Train station. A hotel with very cheerful and friendly staff! Bright, clean and spacious room with toiletries that smell so good (relaxing tangerine scent). Bed is really comfortable. Good sound-proofing (for light sleepers). Breakfast is a self-help bar. I was too shy to cook noodles and fry eggs in front of other guests. Gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) was good with my coffee. Recommendations for food and places of interests were compiled neatly in a folder in the room. I tried the 낙지 (baby octopus) restaurant and visited the Asia Culture Centre. A worthwhile trip! Aside from Naver Map needed to navigate the location of the hotel from the bus stop, I was quite pleased with everything else.
