Hi,
Are there any recommended jjimjilbang there to spend the night? I recall there was one near Ori Station, but it's been several years since I was in the area.

Also, curious if there are recommendations for a good, clean motel in Bundang. When I was last there a few years ago the only ones were around Jeongja station, and they were like 70,000 - 100,000 won per night on the weekend. Is it better to just go to Moran Station and find one in the pink light district?

Thanks.

Nobelesse love motel in Seohyeon is really quite nice. I don't think it's more than 70,000 a night but it's quite a great place. Yes there's porn on channel 2 and free condoms in the drawer, but the rooms themselves were great and it comes with the usual: fridge, huge tv, computer, internet, water cooler, huge bathtub, and heated floors. I'd put my folks up there for sure.

I lived in Ori and saw a hotel called Sky and another one called Sky 2, but they were a bit off from the station, somewhere in Suji I believe. Never stayed at them.

I can't really help out here, but this seemed like a good place to pose my own question, since it's related. Sorry for the hijack.

In the same vein, does anyone know a good love motel near or around Jeongja-dong in Bundang that isn't too expensive and has a jacuzzi/hot tub in the room?

Thanks

Yeah, considering how many teachers there are in Bundang I thought I'd get some more answers than I did. I'm big into love motels myself, and would have done research on my own, but I was at school and didn't want other teachers see me scrutinizing motels at work.

Anyway, I wanted to avoid a motel this time around because I recall them being so expensive. But it poured all day Saturday, and our bags and clothes were wet so I didn't want to stick them in a locker at a jjimjilbang. So we stopped in the Motel CF near Jeongja Station. Ordinarily it's 100,000 on the weekends, but if you go after 10 pm the rooms are only 50,000. (That surprised me because we went a little after 9, but I guess business was bad enough to get a discount?) The rooms are all right, and they have a jacuzzi.
