Then August, it's off to a beach location like Pohang or Busan or if too expensive, or it's off to Seoul instead. Motels and hotels along the coast getting booked up and too expensive like crazy. So, probably off to Seoul. Plenty of deals. We shall see.
Some unasked for advice: don't go to either Pohang or Busan. Go to the smaller cities and towns along the coast! The beaches are just as good, and they're a lot less likely to be crowded.Also, motels and hotels kind of suck. One should be looking into pensions, or AirbnBs. If you go with a friend or 2, they're more or less the same price, but you get an entire home to yourself. Last winter vacation, we ended up near Gangneun, rented a pension 5 with a big yard, a deck, and a hot-tub. As there were 4 and half of us splitting the bill, per person it ended up being about the same as a cheap motel. And there's *loads* of stuff to do if you have a vehicle and enjoy a bit of exploring!
