Ray Tourist

This hotel, built in the shape of a ship, is located in the beach section of Incheon. I wanted to stay close to the airport my last two days in South Korea and thought the "boat" would be a new experience. It was fun -- not as close to the airport as I had thought -- and the floor was hot (because they run the hot water pipes under them), which was a good thing in February. The room was small, but adequate, had a port hole for a window with a nice view of the winter beach. Although there wasn't much action in the bars and clubs, fireworks were still set off over the ocean at night. If you want peace and quiet, not for you, this is a party area. It was interesting seeing another aspect of Korean life and it must be a loud blast in the summer! I'd love to have one of the rooms with a private deck and Jacuzzi. The rooms range in price and from small no view to full blast party suite. Note: In less expensive hotels, individual soap and toothpaste are not the norm (they leave the economy size -- it's a Korean thing), so make sure you have your own. I enjoyed a quiet morning walk on the beach. People friendly and helpful. I'd stay again if I was in the area.
