Review: LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: I arrived in Seoul in the evening and was treated to dinner by our local representative, Jeff Gapshin Hwang, and his son, Franco (named after me). After an enjoyable time, they dropped me off at LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL, where I was booked in the recently renovated Executive Tower. Check-in was swift; I did have extra bags full of gifts, which they promptly delivered to my room.
