Traveling in late summer on the 4 rivers trail, we planned a stop in Suanbo. The lure of a resort town and sauna seemed good after a few days cycling up river. We found that walk up rates were 10 to 20$ less than internet rates, plus you get to see the hotel or motel. Have maps and a little Korean language is helpful in this endeavor, Google translate works too. The hotel that the internet led us to was being renovated, so we just asked 3 different people ”I am looking for a good Hotel ” ” cho an hotel chako ee nun de oh” Our inquiries led us here. I really like it. It cost 60 ish dollars in September with a good conversion rate (this is a ski town winter would be more). The bed was a bit firm for my taste, but that seems to be how Koreans like it. The charm and hospitality were uplifting. This is a lovely little resort town, and this hotel has an ironic alpine German flare with a sort of lost in translation aura : ). Awesome sauna 1 block away....long name starts with an n....yummy chicken tchib 3 blocks straight down the road across from the Seven 11. DO visit Coffee M, charming, delicious, comfortable, wifi, and they let us use their high quality bike pump....a relief from a small travel pump : )
