Here is the first thing I saw when I gotto my room in the Thema Motel, Thema Hotel, ot Thematel (the literature varies)Yes, that is velvet for the duvet cover and satin pillow covers (with a sanitary linen coverlet). Big screen TV in right corner of picture. Channel 2 has 24 hours of soft-core movies that might be on Skinemax late night, only all in Korean. There are 3 boxes of tissues in this room and a 4 pack box of foil covered latex items (only 3 in the pack, I found the missing latex item in the bedside trash just before I tried to go to sleep) along with various oils, scents and lubricants.
The bathroom floor was wet when I walked in. Apparently that is how the maid service cleans the bathroom, they just hose everything down with the hose from the bathtub, which (in case you didn't guess) is a full sized hot tub with Jacuzzi jets and a full scratched up bottom. The glass enclosure on the right of the picture is the shower. It looks like this those dispensers have shampoo and a skin softener. That is a bar of soap in the soap dish. I made the mistake of lifting it to examine it. Of course there was a hair. Short. Dark.
And there is my pink towel I am told that in the DongMun, the old hotel they used to use here, this was all the towel you got. Of course there are hairs in this as well.
I couldn't unpack because there are no dressers, no drawers, no wardrobes, nothing that might indicate the occupiers of the room intended to stay more than an hour or so. There are two hooks for hanging jackets and shirts, and a shoe horn to put your shoes back on (you took them off and left then between the inner an outer doors.
So I am getting ready to go to bed in this STD factory when I go to throw away an old bookmark in the trashcan under the bed stand when I find the aforementioned latex item, which was in a condition that showed my room had been occupied earlier in the day and utilized for its apparent main purpose (not housing engineering managers in town to install radars, apparently). Probably it was no more than 1 to 2 hours before I got here.
There were no sweet dreams that night.

You should order some coffee to go with that room!...rkw
I think I'd sleep in the car.
Todd
oh my... And I thought some of the places I stayed in the UK were seedy (think National Lampoon's European Vacation).
So will your bill reflect how many hours you have been there or nights?
rkw, there is a hot water dispenser and 2 'tubes' of coffee and two coffee cups
Todd, I never thought of that, the first night it would have been better, I actually have a pretty good car
Tara, I actually have to give them my Amex card every night when I come in the door, and like in the UK you are supposed to give them the room key when you leave in the morning (I do NOT)
rkw, i heard they deliver coffee in this country, is that the way you did it?
Did they hand you your bed sheets when you checked in??
In Japan these "motels" are identified by the color purple.
apparently all the motels here are "purple" if they have a bed
otherwise you sleep on the floor
