It is a new hotel that was finished I think in 2018. The hotel has a spa attached and it is very close (5min drive) to the entrance of Seorak National Park , one of the most popular national parks in South Korea. There is a small town close to the hotel with a couple of restaurants and a couple of convenience stores; so it's quite isolated. But there is a nice spa in the hotel that is popular with families (lots of kids during the day). The spa water is supposed to be coming from the mountain. The one thing I really didn't like about the hotel is how the important sections of the hotel are laid out. The front desk is on the second floor a good walk away from the lobby/breakfast restaurant. The front desk is hard to find and doesn't have a big entrance leading to it like most hotels. The breakfast was pretty basic nothing spectacular. But since it's new, has a spa, is priced well (at least at time of writing) and close to the park, I liked it a lot. It's for people who want to get away from the city and stay in the hotel or park not city seekers.
