Staying at a three-star hotel was indeed a bit cheaper, at Rp376,000 including tax. However, the room smelled of cigarettes, the sheets smelled of cigarettes, the towels smelled of cigarettes, there were no hangers (let alone a closet), there was no mirror (we had to buy a small one), and the air conditioning, although quite cold, was incredibly noisy. It was still better to stay at a guesthouse for Rp150,000.
