Analysis

Key Strengths

Points to Note

Weak Communication Network

Due to the mountainous terrain, free Wi-Fi is very slow, and mobile phone signals are frequently lost

Value for Money Controversy

The price of approximately 460,000 KRW (approx. $317 USD) per night for outdated facilities at a 2.5-star level is a significant cost burden due to the location

Outdated Interiors
