Dates Stayed: July 14-16, 2016

Motels should not be frown when you have no choice in a place or when you are in a budget trip.  As seen in several dramas, this was also an option for female characters, Choi Ae-ra spent a night in one when he hosted an event in a province in Fight for My Way (2017).  Also Jung Hae-Ra stayed in a hotel when she run away from their house in Black Knight: The Man Who Guards Me (2018).  Just always be mindful in selecting a place, scan each corner and read reviews.

Price: Considerably affordable, given that this was book in few days prior to the scheduled date.

Location: Accessible by Exit 8 (stairs) and Exit 10 (escalator going-up only) and far Exit 13 (elevator) from Seomyeon Line 2.

Check-in: Every time the receptionist is missing, he is probably managing the parked cars outside.

Room: Standard Room – very clean and comfortable.  Has separate table and chair for tea and coffee bags.  Has water heater.  There is a separate computer to use (although no Microsoft Office).

Culinary Experience: A lot of samgyeopsal restaurants nearby.  

Service: The night receptionist is very accommodating and was helpful in communicating the messages from the police and Korail station when my luggage was lost in S-train.  He was also concern and did confirm my situation afterwards.

Things to ponder: A love motel, but at least the room has privacy and you can’t hear noise from the outside.

Verdict: Will be back in guesthouse or hotel accommodations nearby Seomyeon station.
