Holiday Inn Gwangju by IHG
"Never a fan of carpet in a room. This one was stained. Older wood paneling. Bathroom with a window to the room and blinds is just weird. Staff not very helpful when asking where downtown wax upon check in. Breakfast was good."

"Breakfast selection was great for me. About 20-min walk to the subway station and bus stops which worked well for me. Plenty of restaurants nearby. A convenient store right around the corner. Able to access tourist locations by subway or taxis."
