Review of Seongbuk Piano
Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
I recently stayed at Seongbuk Piano during a cross-country road trip, which was a mixed experience.
Location: The motel is conveniently located just off the highway, making it a great spot for travelers needing a quick stop. A cafe and convenience store are nearby, which is a plus.
Check-In/Check-Out: The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. Check-out was straightforward as well, with no issues.
Room: The room was clean but quite dated. The furnishings seemed from the '90s, and the décor could be refreshed. The bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep, but the pillows were a bit lumpy. There was a small fridge and microwave, which were handy, but the TV remote was missing. I had to call the front desk to get a replacement.
Amenities: The motel offers free Wi-Fi, which is reliable.
Cleanliness: Overall, the room was clean, though I noticed some dust on the bedside lamp and the bathroom could use a deeper clean. The bed linens and towels were fresh.
Noise Level: The motel is located near a busy road, so there was some traffic noise, but it wasn’t too disruptive. However, you might want to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Value for Money: Given the rates, it’s a decent value. It’s not luxurious, but it’s a budget-friendly option for a short stay. If you’re looking for something more upscale, you might want to look elsewhere.
Overall: Seongbuk Piano is a solid choice for a brief overnight stop, especially if you’re traveling on a budget. It’s not the most modern or luxurious option, but it gets the job done with friendly service and basic amenities.
Would I recommend it? Yes, if you’re looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly place to rest on a long drive. For a longer stay or if you’re seeking more comfort, you might want to explore other options.
