As a college student accustomed to boarding, this was my first experience staying alone in a hotel in Tarakan, specifically at the Padmaloka Hotel. I usually stay with my family, so this was a truly memorable first experience. I stayed one night in a single business room. In my opinion, the room was similar to a boarding room, but more comfortable. The bathroom and toilet were outside the room (shared), but still quite clean and well-maintained. The hotel also provided a breakfast with a varied menu, quite good for refueling before the trip. Overall, this hotel is quite comfortable to rest, especially for those in transit or who will continue their journey, like me who had to catch an early morning flight to Balikpapan and then travel to Samarinda. You could say this was my first experience of solo traveling, and it was quite enjoyable 🤭
