I stayed there about 3 to 4 months ago, but i got the bigger room with window. No cockroaches tho but nonetheless, i am always prepared.
Check out the groceries i buy in most of Batam trips, look to the right hand side of the photo.

I often standby Baygon. A small bottle cost around 25k rupiah tho.
Nothing serious, i always call housekeeping to settle such issue and much often, they always do a good job.
One of my criteria for a good hotel is its housekeepers. They need to come to me fast and make up my room fast. Sometime they need to do that more than once a day. Under normal circumstances they would finish making up my room in around 10 mins (and most time they did so in less than 10 mins). Because usually more than 2 person is doing the task. And yes, i tip all of them.
In Batam, if i come across issues like that, i will analyze the situation if
i could work around things/issues, and if i can't, i change hotel. The same reason why i give up on Da Vienna Hotel and Harmoni Suite. They don't fit my requirement.
I stayed in Biz Hotel Junior suite at it top floor before and its other premier suite. Junior suite's toilet bowl & the study table were infested with many small cockroaches upon opening. Took videos & photos to show to receptionist, they moved me to another premier suite and compensated me with a free dinner. I am happy but i don't stay there anymore.
