About

StayArchive is a hotel review archive by J. Woo, a Korean office worker who likes nice hotels but still checks the price, the breakfast benefit, the lounge access, the gym, the pool, and whether the booking made any financial sense.

This is not a luxury influencer site. I write about hotels I have actually stayed in — mostly through Marriott Bonvoy and other loyalty programs — with practical details, real impressions, and a dry sense of humor.

My reviews focus on what matters after check-in: the room, location, breakfast, elite benefits, facilities, service, and whether I would stay again.

Most reviews are based on my own paid stays, points stays, award bookings, or personal travel records. When a stay was not booked by me, when information is based on an older stay, or when current hotel details have been checked separately before publication, I try to make that clear in the review.

Hotel operations change over time. Lounge access, breakfast benefits, room categories, prices, and facilities may differ from what I experienced, so readers should always verify important details directly with the hotel before booking.

StayArchive does not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or ratings. Any sponsored stays, complimentary services, advertising relationships, or affiliate partnerships will be clearly disclosed.

My long-term goal is Marriott Lifetime Platinum.

My short-term goal is usually breakfast.
