More Motel - Busan South Korea

The More Motel is in Busan, South Korea. It is located in the Songdo Beach area. The main street runs parallel to the beach, and the motel is in the center of the strip. If you're coming from the train station, you are best to ask the taxi driver from a more prominent landmark such as the Songdo Beach Hotel or simply Songdo Beach.

The outside of the hotel is eye-catching due to its quaint balconies which overlook the beach. As with most accommodations in the area, you will have to search a little for the entrance.

The front desk is located on the second floor. As you walk in the main doors, the elevator is located to the left around a corner. Upon the time of checking in, the reception was very friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to look at the rooms in advance and gave us some options. The cost of the hotel is incredibly reasonable - about 50,000 Korean won or US$58.

The rooms are small and basic, but they are equipped with essentials required for a comfortable night. It is a typical Korean love motel with all the amenities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, gel, soap, and much more. As always, there is your basic big-screen TV complete with late-night pornography. I guess this is a must for Korean love motels.



The bed linen is clean, and the bed is reasonably comfortable. It has a wet bathroom containing a standup shower, Western toilet, and vanity. It is well clean and sanitary. If you are staying in Korean hotels or motels, be prepared to have one pillow per person. When the receptionist for the afternoon shift came on duty, I asked her for an extra pillow, and you think I was asking her for her firstborn. For some reason, they simply don't understand the concept of two pillows.

Leading out to the balcony there is a nice patio door. The balcony is large enough for two people and has a small table and two chairs. The motel has no Wi-Fi, but if you hunt along the baseboards by the wall, you will find cable.



Overall, I was relatively impressed with this small motel. It was clean, accessible, close to the beach, bright, had a nice view. I would certainly stay there again.
