Four Points by Sheraton Surabaya, Pakuwon Indah
Amazing staff, very clean. Next to shopping centre which was great. Downsides - restaurant had only one wine by the glass so we had to eat elsewhere and two pools, only one gets the sun in the morning but this was reserved for guests in the next hotel (Westin) and not allowed usage.
