Holiday Inn Batam-review

Last week, I had anual meeting in Batam, and it took place in both hotel Harris & Holiday Inn Batam.
Batam is not a great city at all, but it famous because the it has the nearest harbor to Singapore and Bintan the Island of entertainment if you are looking for beachy area.

I am with finance team was staying in Holiday Inn Batam, I would like to share my experience staying and have a meeting there.

My ETA is at 8 am in the morning and expecting an early check in. With tired eyes of being woke up early to catch the flight, the whole person who came that morning in the bus can't get any room. We have made order like 1 months ago, and we wait from 8 am in the morning until 2 pm, got no answer after struggling with the hotel person, we got our room at 5 pm? How ridiculous is that.

With that ugly services I dont want ever to stay there again. The excuses is they had fully guest, but our company has make the appointment from 1 months ago, in our company we had 400 people, but share with Harris hotel. They should have manage that. The service of the bell boy also took very long when we need anything like extra towel? how come a room with 3 person they gave only 2 towels?

Anyway the hotel is not that old, and the view is good enough.
The food is not good, very standar. the seasoning is very poor. the breakfast also not fascinating, anyway I only have two slices of bread and omelet. That's it.

Please see the picture, if you find this information usefull please give a comment.
