Where to sleep in Korea (In general)

I have lived and traveled in Korea for about 15 years. When I travel abroad, I usually stay any nice hotels I find in Hotels.com or Trivago. I also strongly recommend those who have plenty of money to stay at nice hotels in Korea for about 100,000 won (about 100 dollars). However, as traveler we always lack money and there is a very very cheap and comfortable way to stay a night in Korea.
I recommend those who have low budget to stay at JjimJilBang(Korean dry Sauna). You can both enjoy spa(sauna) and sleep in there. I have seen many foreign traveler who stayed in Motel or Guest house(although there are quite nice ones) and felt uncomfortable. Even Koreans feel uncomfortable staying in Motel.

There is a Youtube video on JjimJilBang culture in Korea. I will link down.

Please don't stay in Motel in Korea. I advice this as Korean who lived here for over 15 years.
