The Westin Josun Busan

Great location, right by the sea and beach. The breakfast selection was a bit limited, and the room facilities felt a little outdated.

Pros: The hotel was very clean and quiet, and the breakfast was excellent. Cons: The bathroom was very small. It's great for a vacation but not ideal for business trips. Traffic was really bad, and it took a long time to get a taxi or ride-share.

Next time, I'd suggest Ctrip try staying here themselves before recommending it to us. Ctrip clearly stated breakfast was included, but upon checking in, we found ourselves directed to a very small restaurant for a simple meal, which was a stark contrast to the buffet breakfast on the first floor. This really impacted our experience. There's a significant price difference between rates with and without breakfast, and Japanese and Korean hotels really value their breakfast offerings. This hotel should ask Ctrip to update their breakfast description – a simple meal is not a proper breakfast.

The room wasn't very big, especially the bathroom, which wasn't a four-piece suite. The breakfast for executive rooms was only American style, and the variety wasn't rich enough. I suggest they offer more local specialty dishes, perhaps even set menus, as many hotels in Japan have breakfasts worth learning from. The environment is good, and the location by the mountains and sea is perfect for a vacation. The service was also decent.
