Everyone preference on their traveling stay is different. I prefer to stay in 2 star or 3 star hotels but be staying in their better type of room. I dont go to Batam to swim nor be using their gym. So my preference would be left to be a better breakfast, better quality kind of room and lastly, the right location for me to move around easy to get what i am looking for,hehehe...
Next time you can try this, look out for 2 star or maybe even 3 star hotel but be taking their better/BEST room which is usually quite big (and comfy). Example, if i would choose to stay in Da Vienna but i wont take their basic room if i have a budget of S$70 to $90. I can stay in the executive room. Cost around 800k rupiah (depending on where you get it from).
Another place i would look at is City Central Hotel, a 2 star hotel. But their best room is called Junior suite room. Its a 1 room 1 hall kind of room and cost around 600k plus minus,hehehe...not forgetting Han's Inn where they have a very good room (Junior suite).
Some months ago,i stay in Batam City Hotel,the walk in rate for their Royal Suite cost only 1 juta (online rate 1.2 juta).
The Presidential suite cost only 880k rupiah but becos its a no smoking room,hence their receptionist recommend me the Royal Suite ,which is one grade higher and is a smoking room,hehehe...
For me, i often have a hard time looking for a room that is suitable for me. I am pretty fussy looking for a room that suit me best,hehehe....imagine, few years back when i 1st started, only 5 rooms in Batam is suitable for me.
I am smoker too.
The whole idea is up to any individual, my choice is to live like a King in a beggar's den rather than living like a beggar in a King's palace (my illustration of myself when i choose a hotel to stay in Batam).
