Stanford Hotel&Resort Tongyeong

The location is great, just on the outskirts of Tongyeong in the harbor/marina area, perched on the edge of a hill. So, excellent sea views and harbor views! There is a beautiful paved coastal walkway just outside the hotel doors, which extends about 4km around the coast, making a great 8km walk/run/cycle round trip. Bikes can be rented at the nearby Kumho Tongyeong Marina Resort, or at Tongyeong Hiking, about 1km south down the coastal trail. There was tons of free parking and check-in was fast and efficient. We loved how there was both a CU convenience store and a bakery on site – great for lite meals and snacks, and a good alternative to the expensive restaurant. The king-size bed was super comfortable and the area was quiet enough that we could sleep with our balcony doors open. Loved the electronic toilet and there were internet TV options like Youtube and Netflix. We found the gym (free for guests) to be small but well equipped, with 2 treadmills and 2 bikes, all reasonably good quality. As for weights, there was a complete set of dumbbells, leg press, Smith rack (free weights), bench press machine, and adjustable bench – just enough gear for full body workouts.

Convenient place to stay in Tongyeon. Probably it would have been better to take the ocean view than the harbor view, but it was also very beautiful. As it was monday and most of the restaurants around was closed, we had dinner at the Standford restaurant and it was tasty with a good selection of korean seafood.

The location just next to the sea, in a marina was great. Our apartment was located on the upper floors and was oriented on 3 different sides, which was great. In front of hotel, there is a long walking path, just next to the sea. Apartment was spacious and clean.

Amazing sea view, clean room, comfortable bed, good walking course
