The bed is great med firm and found out brand used is Serta. Given 4 pillows and 1 extra pillow as well. Pillow is of better quality too. it's our first stay and it's relieved and pleasing to be able to stay into a hotel that allows ample rest for us after a week of hectic travel. Short walking distance to Gleneagles & the malls nearby. One to pick on is the sound proofing is bad as we could hear loud and clear walking and stamping sounds across the corridor.

가격대비 좋은 호텔

이마고몰 바로 다음 블럭에 위치하고 있어 위치는 매우 휼륭합니다. 늦게까지 몰이 운영하기 때문에 저녁에 산책하러 나갔다 오기도 좋아요. 다만 오래 머물기에는 부족한 점이 많습니다. 작은 크기의 객실과 군데군데 얼룩이 있는 침구 등 아주 쾌적한 경험을 제공하진 못합니다. 다만, 하루 이틀정도 묵기에는 나쁘지 않은 호텔입니다.
