minimalist stay
if you need a quick stay, it's fine. was not the most comfortable as a solo female traveler - shortened my stay. gave indications of a lovel motel so just be aware. also was not really in the best part of town if you are trying to stay towards more of the tourist highlights in Busan, would recommend further east along the beach or another area.

Room stunk of bleach horribly
The sheets smelled strongly of bleach and I didn't notice at first because the window was open when I first walked in. After sightseeing, I came home tired and fell asleep but was woken up at 5AM by the horrible bleach odor. I couldn't fall asleep again and felt incredibly tired driving back to Seoul. Even my pajamas reeked of bleach afterwards. I understand this is technically a love motel but my cousin's room didn't smell like this. The rest of the room seemed clean as well as the bathroom.. and the staff was courteous but man.. whoever changed the sheets were totally ignorant or inexperienced. The whole point of travelers booking a room is to get some rest. I didn't receive that here.

Value for money
Nice return visit to this hotel, my second time staying and wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future. Everything about this hotel is great, only negative being hearing the guests in rooms next to you if they are being loud, and windows aren't soundproof so drunk people hanging out in the parking lot right beside the hotel at 3am can be heard quite well.

Close to Haeundae Beach
The Fringe Festival was going on, so there were tons of people at the beach. There was a craft beer restaurant and bar that was super delicious, and they sell bottles of beer you can take to go.

The Ara
Oh the Hotel Ara, where to begin... I was coming to Busan for business and didn't want to spend a fortune on the one night I was paying out of pocket so I booked the Ara. The location is great, not more than a three min walk to the beach, the room was very large, with a jacuzzi tub with an amazing light show), and had a partial ocean view (through the other hotels). I get the feeling this is not a place that one brings their wife but there was nothing gross or seedy about anything. The woman at the front desk was surly at first but ended up being very sweet. Biggest gripe was hair in the tub. Overall three and a half stars for location, size of room, and the jacuzzi light show. Would I stay there again? Probably not, but I cannot complain about it. It was an experience.

금연 객실에 담배연기 재털이???
오후 2시에 체크인 해서 오후 5시에 체크아웃 했습니다. 담배냄새 때문에 도저히 견딜수가 없었습니다. 프론트에서는 진작 말했으면, 방 교체 해줄건데 라고 하면서도 다른 방으로 주겠다는말은 결국 안하더군요... 분명 객실세부정보에는 금연이라고 되있는데, 이거 환불 안되나요? 반려동물 동반 가능 이라고 하더니, 동물 방에두고 나가지도 못하게 합니다. 강아지 데리고 밥집도 못가니 밥먹기도 힘듭니다. (호텔정보에 있으면 차라리 다른곳으로 구하던 강아지 안데리고 가든 하지요)

반려견과 동반할수있는 호텔이 없어서 걱정했는데 구세주같이 이 호텔덕분에 편히 지내고가구요 마침 주변에 해운대해수욕장과 주변에 응식점들 및 해운대 시장들이있어서 더 즐겁고 편하게 놀다 갑니다~^^
