“JW Seoul's link”

JW Marriott Hotel Seoul is a great pleasant stay — an excellent location directly linked to Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam with metro and bus stops downstairs for easy eating and shopping, a grand high-ceiling lobby with wood lattice and art pieces that photographs beautifully, modern light-luxury Korean interiors with refined soft furnishings, elegant well-maintained rooms with comfortable bedding, a very clean convenient stay, a good breakfast, and polite professional efficient staff with attentive room service. Caveats though: one guest asked for a won-denominated card charge yet was billed in dollars at a worse rate plus fees — a frustrating slip.
