My only gripe is that the hotel actively blocks and slows VPN service, it's like we're in China. I work remotely and it was virtually impossible. No VPN and my speeds were 200 plus, turn the VPN on, which is direct to back home and it's less than 1. Tried different commercial VPNs too. The only Ethernet plug in the rooms were behind the TV, you can pull Internet from it but again totally blocking VPN access, I had to use openvpn tcp port 443 and it finally connected but really slow, like 2-3 from 300 plus. Over Wi-Fi, my Wireguard connection was slowed to a crawl for 3 hours from midnight to 3am, Korean time. No idea what's going on at this hotel. I've traveled all over the world at major hotels and Hyatts, this is the first for me. Don't come here if you need VPN for work. I have 4 travel routers, a residential VPN service, etc. I know that I'm doing and there's funny business going on here. If I didn't know this was Korea, I'd think we were in China behind the great firewall. Maybe that's why there's so many Chinese tourists, so they had to make a deal with China to block the Internet when they get here and they won't find out about TS..lol...jk

If you talk to them, they can probably take your MAC address and give you an exemption. I bet the tight internet security is due to the casino presence.
