Yongpyong Ski Resort, Pyeongchang gun, Gangwon do





Yongpyong Ski Resort was very convenient if you wanted to go skiing - which we did. We were also on the ground floor which made moving our luggage around also very simple.


In the evening we wandered around just outside the Yongpyong and found that many of the restaurants had closed by 7:30 pm so we went back to eat in the hotel.


Delicious - I had my eyes on the fruit but after my sandwich, Jemma's spaghetti and Chuen's lasagne I was full.




The drink that we did try looked very strange - it was Korean beer? - a little sweet but I liked it.  It may have been stronger but I was unaware - Chuen said that it was strong.


The amenities were adequate and there was also free wi-fi in the room, so we now had the 'Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots' App for the iPad.

Sorak Park Hotel




This was very close to the Seraksan National Park which we had visited during the day - the park was beautiful but the hotel was disappointing.


One plug worked in the whole room and we had no idea how the hot water worked and when we figured it out the water was not at the best tepid.




I now have to add though that the underfloor heating worked however - which meant that our clothes for the next day were carefully placed the night before...




As indicated in the previous reviews the hotel does need an upgrade - I worried about the fire escape system, the chain on the door was broken, the button on the handle was missing.  The bath was tiny BUT we were only there one night...




Sunrise was beautiful over the mountains nearby.
