Traveling in Korea With Your Four Legged Friends
Traveling with a pooch that doesn’t fit into your purse is not always easy in Korea. We have a 75 pound Labrador and just finding a first floor apartment that would accept him was a big enough challenge. Finding hotels is yet again…a challenge. Of the places we’ve stayed, some are nicer than others but all were friendly and had nice owners or owners who completely ignored that fact that we had a dog with us. Clearly…Clark is a lover, not a fighter.

Many of the Love Motels require you to put your room key in a slot when you walk into your room in order to turn on the electricity. Any plastic (and sometimes business cards) will work. When we leave the room and aren’t taking Clark with us, we like to leave the air con and TV on for his comfort and to cover up any noise in the hallways.

This place had a great deck with bbq table overlooking the water. I used Agoda for reservations.
