Daejeon business trip in 2 weeks - hotel advice needed

Hi,





My husband and I are going to Daejeon Nov 30- Dec for his (very small) business. He will be training some engineers in his software.





We need a place to stay with western beds, internet connection, and access to western food there or very nearby, as he is diabetic and shouldn%26#39;t change his diet.. He will be going to the business park to do the training.





I only seem to bring up the %26#39;big 5%26#39; hotels in Daejeon. They are the spa hotels. Is there anothe area in Daejeon with business hotel/motels?

obviously too late, but Spa hotels are fine for business.

that didn%26#39;t really seem to be her question.



she asked if there were any %26#39;business%26#39; hotels, meaning they don%26#39;t need extensive facilities, just the basics for work away from home. She probably also means she doesn%26#39;t want to pay the ridiculous rates at the %26#39;spa%26#39; five star hotels.





i also have the same question. i am looking for a very simple, basic, cheap accommodation for one evening, and have found nothing under USD 75. I assume there are places around, just not listed on the search engines. I think i will simply avoid staying in the city though.





Does anyone have any info on cheaper Daejeon hotels/hostels?




yes; do you speak Korean, though?



And where in Daejeon?





It%26#39;s not a small or concentrated place.



The Yuseong area (spa) is close to Govt Centre; prices are quite high there. Daejeon central has a few cheap lodging places, but I don%26#39;t think anyone would be able to cope with someone talking English, to be honest.





I think my answer was apposite: the spa hotels are not the sort of spa hotels you get in Europe or US. They are just hotels- often full of US military and businessmen- which happen to have a spa. If the OP said she wanted a cheap hotel, she probably would have said so.




no, i don%26#39;t speak korean. i will be in korea for a short trip. i don%26#39;t usually find language a huge barrier when traveling.





well, i suppose we%26#39;ll never know what the original poster meant, because she doesn%26#39;t seem to have returned, or hasn%26#39;t thanked you for your help. oh well.




The language has been a problem for me here.



Apart from an impromptu meeting with the Mayor, whose English was great, it%26#39;s always been one of the harder places to me.
