Another option is "love" motels. They are easily found throughout the city, but finding a decent one is not that easy. The prices are pretty cheap -- ￦30,000 ~ ￦60,000. But it usually goes up to over ￦100,000 during the lantern festival. I guess they are not a bad option for someone "familiar" with Korea.
However, for budget travelers, these may not be a good option either. Fortunately, a couple of "guest houses" opened in Jinju a while ago. In fact, guest houses are a new business in Korea, so they are not as well-established as other countries yet (especially in Jinju). But the new guest houses here are attracting people with special spirit and friendliness.
1. Mungcle (뭉클)
There are dormitory rooms (6 beds/8 beds), single and double bedrooms, and an ondol (floor heating) room. The prices range from ￦20,000 to ￦55,000, which is including breakfast and basic toiletries.
You can find further information on pricing and booking stuff at the site below.
>>Details
For someone who wants to experience Korean ondol system, Mungcle provides an artistic ondol room as well. Especially in cold winter, sleeping on the warm floor will help you literally melt your frozen body.

2. Jinju Guest House (진주 게스트하우스)
The newly opened guest house is situated in the optimal location for Jinju sightseeing. It is within walking distance from the intercity bus terminal, Jinju Fortress and the downtown area.
There are 17 rooms including dormitory rooms (4 beds/6 beds), double bedrooms, and different sizes of ondol rooms.
The prices range from ￦20,000 to ￦59,000.
You can find further information on pricing and booking stuff >> here or you can book a room at Agoda.
It opened around the last year's festival, so everything is still new and clean. Besides, rest assured that in each dormitory room are private lockers. This is actually what I think is good about the guest house. When I traveled abroad, I usually stayed at backpackers which didn't have a lockers in the room. This was kind of annoying because I always had to carry valuable stuff with me.
This picture seems to have been taken around last Christmas. I'm afraid that I've only passed by it and haven't had a chance to visit there. But this picture actually makes me want to visit. I guess spending a special day here with your friends or lovers will be a great experience.

Mungcle is like an art gallery from the entrance.
In fact, the guest house was built by an artist, and there's actually an art gallery in the one of the two houses. So staying there will be a special experience for everyone. (Maybe few have slept at an art gallery.)
