I am willing to bet the hotel these Aussies are going to be moved to will the quarantine facility in Seoul that was used to quarantine a number of foreign English teachers last month:
The coach of the Australian under-21s lacrosse squad detained in South Korea because one has tested positive to swine flu, says he’s concerned for the mental health of some of the players.
South Korean authorities have ordered the other 24 members of the team and its coaching staff, who are showing no signs of the influenza A(H1N1) virus, to be isolated for seven days.
The group are currently staying at the Ramada Plaza Hotel, in Suwon, about an hour north of Seoul.
A young man was taken to hospital and quarantined on arrival at Seoul airport after infra-red cameras detected an elevated temperature.
Co-coach Greg Mollison said the South Korean government informed him that he and the team would be moved to an as yet unknown hotel on Sunday, where they will be isolated in single rooms for seven days.
He said that would be difficult for the players.
“I’m more concerned about the psychological effects it could have on some of the young guys,” he told ABC radio.
“Obviously, if they are isolated for seven days with no contact with the outside world or each other, and at the moment they are all caring for each other, it’s a concern, yeah.” [The Age]
Hopefully the quarantine facility is stocked up on vegemite.

Funny, I didn't know that Suwan was "an hour north of Seoul."
