I absolutely loved how convenient the location was and how clean the room is. There are restaurants and a 7-11 once you exit the hotel. Less than 5 minutes away is the Bupyeong Shopping Mall which leads to the huge underground shopping mall. The Bupyeong train station is also there. The location is also very safe since the hotel is next to a police station. At night, you just need to walk 5 mins across the road to access many 24-hour Korean eateries.
The room itself was fantastic for its price point. The bathtub was clean and the bathroom free of mold. Hot water flow was consistent and the water pressure was great. I was pleasantly surprised that the TV works well (both visuals and sound are crystal clear) and you have access to both Korean and Japanese channels. The mattress was also firm and I had a decent night's sleep.
The staff is proficient in English, and while I wasn't allowed to check-in early, they let me leave my luggage there while I roam around.
My only gripes was the canteen-style meals provided. While the food was decent, everyone had to queue up, take a tray and scoop their food from the buffet line, much like an American high school setting. However, due to the way it's structured, getting more food means rejoining the long queue which could take about 15 mins or more.
Even though Toyoko Inn is considered a 2-star hotel here, I thoroughly enjoyed the facilities and my experience here better than most 4-star hotels.
