Even the suites feel cheap. Fittings weren't perfect and our door wouldn't lock itself.

I know it's hard for staff to deal with children when the parents won't, but the hotel could do better at either enforcing a minimum standard of behaviour, or having one of the lounges as adults only.
Can't beat the Category 2 rating, though, as well as the proximity to Incheon Airport...
The nature of the hotel beast in Korea. If it has a lounge and pool, families are there for weekend staycations. That's why I sort of prefer hotels in Korea without lounges too because they're invariably always child refuges.
