I'm looking for a cheap hotel in Busan this weekend, but I have heard from a few people that everything is either booked or booking up quickly for the film fest. Should this be of concern?

If its anything like Seoul, there is a cheap spot around every corner. If you have any links, or numbers to some love motels near Hae-undae Beach, please let me know. Like always, much appreciated!

Sorry I can't be more specific. Go the website http://www.obriens-bar.com. Patrons of this bar in Changwon frequently take trips to Busan to party at the O'brien's there among other things. If you email Aled Powell, [email protected], I'm sure he could recommend a place or ask one of the bar patrons to suggest a specific place they like near Haeundae (complete with phone number, email address, and prices). Phone numbers to Obrien's in Changwon and Busan are also listed on the site. I just tried to cut and paste the numbers here but it didn't work. Anyway, the Obrien's website above should lead you to the info you seek. Click on the clover leaves at the top and all will be revealed. Good luck!
