Here are some tips from my stay at the hotel! St. John's Check-in Tips 1. Waiting Registration: -If you arrive before the check-in time (16:00), register your waiting number using the kiosk in the lobby. -Self-registration is faster than asking a staff member. 2. Waiting Alert: -Once check-in starts, you'll receive a KakaoTalk alert based on your waiting order. -The alert will be sent when there are 10 teams ahead of you, so feel free to explore or relax nearby. 3. Missed Your Turn? If you miss your turn, just inform the concierge staff for quick assistance. 4. Luggage Storage: Traveling without a car? You can store your luggage in the lobby.
This hotel is in a fantastic location, right near the beach. The windbreak forest nearby is especially beautiful and makes for a perfect walk. However, the room wasn’t very soundproof, so noise from the surrounding rooms was quite noticeable at night. The hotel has several restaurants and a convenience store, so you can easily find everything you need within the building. There are three towers and parking options both on-site and across the road. Electric chargers are available on the second floor of the outside parking lot buildings, A and B. Additionally, Tesla Superchargers and three more electric chargers can be found on the first floor of Building B.
We stayed in an ocean view room with a balcony, and the sunrise was absolutely stunning. Happy hour at the executive lounge on the 16th floor offers an average selection of salads, local snacks, and cup noodles. There were also beer on tap and red/white wines available. The hotel offers pet beds, gym clothes and picnic kits for rental. It also has kid and pet-friendly facilities, making it a great choice for family vacation. However, we were disappointed to find some obvious stain on the bedsheet, dirt over the tv and furniture, and rust in the shower area. Additionally, parking can be quite challenging at night, often requiring guests to use the outdoor parking lot or opt for valet parking at an extra cost (20,000 won)
