Hotel Adria

Upon entering my room, my first thought was 1970's Las Vegas room. The room is dated and shows its age, with scuff marks on walls, slightly ripped wallpaper, spots of mildew in the shower. But the front desk service was great. The heating / cooling system was not easy to control. I went in Fall with outside temps in low 30's F but still had to keep my windows open at night to keep the room from getting too warm, despite the ventilation system being turned off. The front desk staff helped through the day with taxis, recommending nearby restaurants and general directions. The staff understood English, which was quite helpful for me to help with taxi drivers and guide them to my destination.

The manager here bends over backwards to accommodate his customers. I've been here twice and both times was treated very well and the service was excellent. The hotel feels kind of old but its still nice. The area is ok.. All depends on what you're looking for. Internet is free and there's a sauna here.

This hotel is very dated, but I think that since Daejeon is not a big tourist town, that is probably a common theme among the hotels. We slept in a Korean double, which meant a queen bed (hard) for my husband and I and the floor (heated with mats and pillows) for our 3 children. The spa is in the building next door and it is really a Korean bath house, google that for more info. No real place to hang out at the hotel which was our biggest challenge (pool, game room, whatever) and so we had to stay in the room or go out. Also, the lack of concierge was pretty significant since americans seem to be pretty rare in the area especially a family on vacation.
