Brown Dot is an affordable place to go to if you have a big party and want to save money. I booked the suite since it "slept 10" but the room only has 2 beds and a small couch. Even if you had extra bedding there would not be any space for it. It is somewhat near BIFF and Jagalchi about a 12-15 min. walk, but there are many hotels closer that are the same price or cheaper. I did like that they have filtered water, an espresso machine and a simple breakfast (cereal, bread and ramen) available in the morning. They also park your car for you if you are a guest so that was also good.
The cleanliness was questionable. There was a cockroach in the shower as we entered the room. The couch had a lot of water spots and had a lot of debris under the cushions as we peaked if it converted into a bed or not. I tried calling the front desk because they gave us 2 towels (small Korean ones) even though the paid reservation was for 10 people. The phone wasn't working and had a gross dried up brown stuff on it. They apparently don't have a lot of closet space because they leave the cleaning cart and supplies in front of the elevator of the suite floor which blocked the hallway. Lastly, the wifi was very spotty and unreliable in the 10th floor but worked in the lobby. Out of the 4 days we stayed we didn't really complain until the last night, they gave us access to another wifi network that worked for a few hours but then stopped working. Overall, I don't think I would stay again.
