The heated rooftop pool and cabanas are a rare urban oasis
AJI Bar & Robata brings genuine nightlife energy to the lobby
Rooms are massive by city standards (starting at 450 sq ft)
한눈에 보기: It's a corporate power-suit hotel that loosens its tie at the pool, but don't expect free lounge access just because you have status.
@emstateofmind님의 리뷰: My partner and I needed a break, and this spot delivered. The city views from our bed were stunning, but roasting s'mores in our robes by the fire pit was the highlight of the trip.

The hype
Travelers love the renovated, modern rooms and the pool vibe, but often balk at the parking costs.
Reality check
The 'resort' branding is slightly misleading; it's a fantastic business hotel with a pool, not a sprawling resort.
You are attending a conference at the McEnery Convention Center (walkable)
You need a reliable, high-end gym (Peloton bikes + Technogym)
You appreciate a lobby bar that serves actual food (Nikkei cuisine) late at night
청결 & 유지관리
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reviews note occasional missed restocking (towels/coffee).
Bathroom hygiene: Renovated bathrooms are sleek and mostly spotless; grout and tile are new.
Maintenance: Excellent. The 2022 renovation means fixtures, AC, and carpets are still fresh.
Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white linens; towels are fluffy but sometimes in short supply.
Odors & scents: Lobby has a signature fresh scent; rooms are neutral (no lingering smoke/must).

가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The 'resort' moniker is marketing; this is a renovated Fairmont tower in a concrete downtown.
💡You can hear the light rail 'ding' from the 10th floor if your window faces the wrong way.
💡The bathroom sliding doors in some renovated rooms don't lock or seal fully (privacy warning).
💡Room service delivery fees + service charge + tax can nearly double the menu price.
💡The 'poolside' rooms have patios, but they lack privacy as they open directly onto the shared pool deck.
