There are a couple of catches to using love hotels as regular hotels though:
* If you want a "stay" (overnight) instead of a "rest" (hourly), check-in times are late and check-out times are early, with steep hourly rates slapped on top if you overstay
* It's often not possible to leave the room and come back (insert joke about in-and-out privileges here)
* Rooms are often windowless
All that said, they can be great deal. Here's a mildly tongue-in-cheek comparison of the JW Marriott Seoul vs a random love hotel in Cheonan:
* $400 (rack) vs. $50 (rack)
* Internet access $25/day vs In-room Internet PC for free
* Two chocolates vs. two condoms on your pillow
* Ordinary bathtub vs. heart-shaped jacuzzi in bathroom
* Whisky and cognac vs. beer, soju and dildos in minibar
* Porn costs $18/channel/day vs. three channels of it for free
