Located in Eonyang next to Ulsan's KTX station, this branch of the Korean chain is probably the best place to stay in town. Despite the unusual-sounding name, the rooms are bright, spacious, and immaculate, with nice bathrooms and computer stations. There is also a communal living room area with coffee and free continental breakfast on weekdays.
In an area dominated by impersonal, behemoth tourist hotels and aging "love motels," this brand-new boutique hotel is a breath of fresh air. Not only is it right in the middle of the action between the town's main harbor and the Passenger Ferry Terminal, but it has bright, airy rooms done up in clean, modern styles with prices that won't break the bank. There's also free Wi-Fi and a nice breakfast available.
Situated deep in the pines of the Baenaegol Valley, this rustic pension delivers tranquility and comfort in the most natural of surroundings. The accommodations range from couple rooms to group lodgings. The wooden buildings have a cozy, cabin-like feel, and there is plenty of room on the grounds for wandering or natural contemplation along the banks of the adjacent, fast-flowing stream.
