We all know that if we go to a place, especially a tourist spot in high season, any transportation tickets and hotels will usually increase by 100% of the normal price, and I always experience that every year but because December is the only time I have for my long holiday with my husband, I will definitely accept all the inflated costs and the risk of long traffic jams with grace.
Like my long holiday this year, thank God everything went well because this was my long holiday which really challenged my adrenaline when I had to ride a motorbike to penetrate 780 kilometers to reach my destination of West Sumatra. The journey is very long and requires high focus and extra energy so that I don't fall ill during the journey that I took for 2 days to reach my destination.
And when we arrived in the city of Payakumbuh, West Sumatra, it was already evening at around 20.00 WIB, drizzle also accompanied our arrival in this city. and I deliberately didn't book accommodation in advance because my husband and I didn't know where in the city we would survive. However, it turned out to be in accordance with our travel target. On the second day we arrived in this city, our bodies were very tired and the risk of not booking accommodation was that the accommodation was already full of other visitors because once again the long holiday was the main reason.
I've asked more than 4 hotels and the rooms are always full. My husband and I were physically very tired and we needed rest, plus there was rain pouring down on the city and our eyes accidentally saw a hotel banner that was parading down the alley and not the main road, and we didn't waste that opportunity and immediately look at the condition of the hotel, on our agenda if this hotel is not suitable, the important thing is that there is 1 room left for us to rest tonight and tomorrow we will look for a more suitable hotel for us to stay.
The name of this accommodation is CANDANO and I will give you special information
1. Price
The prices offered here start from Rp. 150,000 to 250,000 per night. And I got a room for Rp. 250,000 with Twin bed type. I accepted because this was very urgent for the body which wanted to immediately rest
2. From the front
From the front, this hotel is like a house and not like accommodation in general and there is nothing special here, but when we look at the facilities that are available at the prices I mentioned above in this long holiday season then this is more than sufficient and comfortable.
3. From the side
From the side, this hotel has a large parking area and a little mini garden, the rest is nothing interesting in my opinion, but this is very good because this place is far from noise so I can rest in peace
4. Facilities provided
For IDR 250,000 or the equivalent of 16 U$ Dollars per night, I get free drinking water, free breakfast and you have to see the design with the concept of this house at this CANDANO inn. in the room apart from the mattress, I got an AC room, television and bathroom and small table in it.
In the hotel lobby we can see large sofas when we are bored in the room or we want to smoke or receive our guests. There is a small aquarium and television there, the reception desk is there and everything is designed like our own home as if this is not a hotel
Not only that, this inn is also equipped with a kitchen that you can use freely and this is neat and clean for me.
Do you think the price offered with the facilities I received is appropriate for the price offered in the high season last December?
Greetings from Maytom and I hope 2024 continues to be happy for you.
