I have just called up the hotel to ask the price per night and to my surprise, the price has been raise up to S$148 nett.

Notice that 4 or 5 star hotels always have alot of plus plus plus. E.g.+ govt tax + service charge + tips unlike the budget hotels.

Initially when a new hotel was just built and started business, they will give special promotion price. But once it becomes popular, the price will tend to shoot up sky high.

In my opinion, staying in budget hotel is sufficient or maximum i will go for is 3 star which is comfortable enough.

Not because i can't afford staying in a 4 star but as our sole purpose is to go batam to cheong have fun and enjoy the food and beers, so would rather stay in a cheap/average hotel and have more money to spend on cewek and massage.

I paid $95 net for the Deluxe room at I Hotel. Damn big and spacious man.
