롯데월드 주변 숙소는 꼭 롯데호텔로 잡으세요

중간에 재입장을 할 수 있는게 체력충전 장난아닙니다.. 힘들이지않고 재밌게 놀았어요. 저는 숙소에 돈 쓰자는 주의가 아니었는데 좀 가치관이 바뀌었습니다. 애든 어른이든 중간에 체력충전 할수있는게 정말 큽니다. 그리고 밥도 정말 맛잇었어요. 조식도 라세느조식처럼 북적일줄 알았는데 사람도 적고 맛있고 정말 좋았습니다. 다음에 롷데월드에 오게된다면 또 예약하게 될거같아요.

가성비, 위치가 좋은 호텔

버스 정류장이 바로 앞에 있고 제가 가는 동선마다 이동이 편했어요! 호텔과 바로 이어진 24시간 무인 편의점 시설도 맘에들었어요. 파리바게트, 스타벅스, 팀호튼도 가까이 있더라구용 호텔 객실은 사이즈가 아담하긴 하지만, 혼자 이용하기엔 딱 좋았어요! 두명이면 가성비 최고일듯~ 날이 워낙 추웠던 날인데, 난방 해도 창문때문에 좀 추웠던 부분은 좀 아쉬웠어요.
