Dokdo is Korean territory
The location was great, the staff service was good, and the room was clean. However, if it weren't for the fire alarm that suddenly went off around 7 AM yesterday morning... For almost 30 minutes, there was no guidance or information from the staff, only an automated evacuation announcement. The elevators were also stopped, so guests had to figure out on their own to evacuate the building via the emergency stairs, which was an absurd situation. Even after coming down from the 19th floor early in the morning, not a single staff member explained the situation or assisted the guests who had evacuated themselves, which was baffling. I thought there might be something, but even until today's check-out, there has been no apology or even a single word of explanation. This system simply doesn't feel like a 5-star chain hotel. When I stayed at the Citadines Bayfront Hotel nearby last May, there was an issue with no hot water for about 5-8 minutes in the morning, but at check-out, they repeatedly apologized and even gave me a voucher for a room upgrade on a return visit. Putting aside the service issue, even the minimal response here is disappointing. I plan to visit again next year, but reconsidering Hyatt. The Intercontinental or Sheraton I stayed at before seem better. For reference, the breakfast menu was also identical during my two-day stay. The Intercontinental changed a few things.
