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.
