After spending 3 months without spending a single night in a Korean motel, I got into the habit of spending a weekend (roughly) every month in one. Usually this was an excuse to travel, but sometimes the opposite was true (plumbing and "real shower nostalgia" played a small but significant role).  |

Every time I do an over night trip, i try to find a newer jang yeogwan or hotel.
They are pretty good value really and always very central which is the most important thing.
Just don't try to think of what has been happening there before and you should be fine.  |

My own figure would be at least a weekend per month, since public holidays and some unusual circumstances bumped up my total.
Once, while in a PC room one evening, I had a particularly nasty attack of the flu. Instead of travelling over a mile to my unit and climbing 5 flights of stairs (I was close to fainting in the lift, let alone climbing stairs), I booked 2 nights in the motel 5 floors up from the PC room and "veged out" (as we say Downunder). The manager was kind enough to give me a pill that cured most of my symptoms. |

| Only when I need an early bus to the airport! Otherwise, I stay with friends. |

What?
No "at least once at week" option? Bah! There's got to be more "waygook in long-distance relationship with Korean who lives with family" types out there than just me... |

| Like to slurge on a good weekend at Hyundai or Lotte and just enjoy the niceties and comforts of those hotels. Hyundai Kyongu, our favourite. |

Is the casino there any good???? Or is that the Hilton in Gyeongju. Anyway, seen that hotel heaps of times but I thought it was a condo complex. |

| Not too often, but have travelled a bit this past vacation and did get to stay at two love hotels. One was OK, but the other was located above a singing room place.. and at 7 in the morning got woken up by what I could only imagine was a bunch of waiters getting off work, meeting at this place to sing and drink some soju... not a good way to start the day for me... |
