The front desk staff was not friendly at all. They assigned us a room on the 8th floor for our first night, despite our prior request for something different. The following morning, the hallway on the 8th floor had a strong smell of marijuana smoke, even though we had specifically requested a non-smoking room. When we raised our concerns, a gentleman at the front desk was very apologetic and moved us to a room on the 12th floor, but unfortunately, the view was still quite poor, facing a parking garage.
I had read that bookings through Traveloka included all charges, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The Sahara Hotel charged us an additional $50 per night, totaling an extra $250 for our stay.
On a positive note, we appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms, although the amenities were lacking; the body soap and shampoo were of poor quality. It wasn't until our third night that we received body soap.
There was no hot drinking water available in the room.
For a simple place to sleep, the Sahara is relatively acceptable. It does offer free parking, and there's a monorail station nearby.
