Thanks for the detailed replies. I'm very much looking forward to staying there, hoping they will do adjoining rooms so that we can be comfortable and the kids can be comfortable.

I realize the hotels don't get much revenue for point stays, and I've learned not to expect too much from them when staying on points. Hope for the best, expect the worst...
I'll be staying there again end of February so I'll let you know if there are any significant changes you should be aware of.

I have a question for you if you don't mind. :-)
I've been wanting to try Airbnb in Seoul but haven't yet. Can you share your thoughts?

I travel alone for business so only the following are important to me:
- Wifi access
- Easy to find by Taxi drivers (Gangnam area)
- Nearby restaurants within walking distance

Thank you!
