You can walk to Squid Nanjeon in less than 5 minutes, and Sokcho Market is a 5-minute drive away. It's a good location to go eat. It's located facing Sokcho Beach, so you can see Sokcho Island, and there's nothing in front, so the view from the room is good.

Although the location is like that because it is Daepo Port, you can enjoy your trip without any problems if you drive. Even if you don't have a car, there is a commercial area in front of the hotel, so you can have a pleasant trip. It is cheaper than the nearby Cassia Hotel and Lotte Resort, so it is cost-effective.

We checked in at around 9 pm and checked out at 7:30 am as we went to Mount Seorak and left our bags at the hotel bag storage. Then came to get our bag at noon, and we walked to the Sokcho Express bus station to go back to Seoul. Our room is spacious with two bathrooms and a long table and sofa but there is hair on the floor.

I made a reservation for 150,000 won a long time ago, but I regret that the price went down by 30,000 won. It is also 30,000 won more expensive than Agoda, but the hotel is in a good location for taking a walk around the nearby Cheongchoho Recreation Area.

The good thing was that the bed was really comfortable, the bedding was in excellent condition, and there was a washing machine so you could wash your clothes by just buying detergent. There are E-Mart and Daiso nearby. It's right in front of Cheongcho Lake, so it's good for a walk. However, most of the nearby commercial areas close at 8 PM, so it was difficult to find a restaurant. It is difficult and the distance from the sea is ambiguous.
