This was a nice little budget motel in Chungju. Not too far from the bus terminal, it was surrounded by other hotels and restaurants.
The staff was friendly, but didn’t speak any English. The rooms were clean and spacious, and everything was well-maintained. They even gave you a little travel bag with toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc in case you forgot something. The beds were the hard Korean style, which might not be compatible with some westerners preference, but the linens were clean and the bed was in good shape.
My only complaint would be the temperature. It was winter time, but with the ondol floor turned up at full blast, the room felt like I was sleeping outside in the summer. I couldn’t find the controls for the ondol floor in the room, so I had to open the window a crack in the dead of window to moderate the temperature somewhat. But given the price and the quality of room, I’d recommend in the future
