Here are my impressions after my 3-night stay - the best thing here is definitely the dessert at the Grand Club:
Pros:
- Bed was comfortable - plush mattress, plush covers, and plush pillows
- Attractive room design with lots of wood
- Comfortable and large couch
- Grand Club is very strong
- Delicious cakes during evening service - loved the opera cake, red velvet cake, cheesecake, etc
- Breakfast is only in the Grand Club, but the food is strong - tasty made-to-order omelet and rotating pancake or waffle special (liked the pancakes better), tasty bacon close to US, good barista coffee prepared by staff
- Club staff was very friendly
- Had a box of Korean desserts in my room as a welcome gift (not a fan of the flavors) and a nice plate of tasty grapes with a nice note from the club staff delivered on the 2nd day
Neutral:
- ”Upgraded” to a High Floor Mountain View - I had seen some corner rooms online before arrival, but maybe, the high floor was better - I don’t know…
Cons:
- Shower pressure wasn’t very strong - only the wand available
- Not a fan of single-use toiletries
- I know this is an issue across Korea, but the AC wasn’t strong and I spent a lot of time in the room sweating
- The hill is really annoying - walking down is fine, but walking up from Itaewon is hard
I would probably return, but not for 3 nights.
