설악산 울산바위 가려면 여기가 제일 좋은

복도가 굉장히 아포칼립스.. 20세기.. 그런느낌인데 7층보다 8층이 컨디션이 나아요. 전반적으로 고층이 저층보다 상태가 괜찮은 것 같습니다. 방에따라 담배냄새가 아예 배어있는 경우가 있으니 확인 후 빠르게 방교체를 요구하세요.

2가지 불편

청결은 아주 좋았습니다만, 불편한 것이 두가지 있었습니다. 1. 3명 숙박인데, 침대 1개(2명) + 바닥에 요를 깔고 잤습니다. 바닥이 너무 딱딱하여 잠을 설쳤습니다. 3인 숙박의 경우 3인 모두 침대가 있는 방을 선택하시기 바랍니다. 2. 테라스가 있는데 나갈 수가 없어서 그림의 떡이었습니다(3층).
