I loved that I had a view of Gunung Salak out my hotel window!

The location in Sentul City was known by all the taxi drivers, probably because of the Harris brand name itself. However, besides a KFC and Ah Poong Food Court (both within walking distance), there was limited food choices. We often took a 6USD cab ride to Bogor City where there were more food and shopping options. As a family-friendly hotel, I loved the orange theme but the walls were too thin and I could often hear children running about the corridor or next door. With the jazz lounge by the pool, you would be able to hear it even from your room ( I lived on level 4). If this doesn't bother you, the hotel is worth a visit! Thumbs up for the great front desk service which helped us call for taxis and gave precise directions to the driver (because we could not speak Bahasa). Note that if you are arriving from Jakarta airport, the taxi ride will be about 350,000 IDR (with minimal jam) and if you are coming from Bogor city/train station, it should be about 60,000 IDR (with minimal jam). Drivers will often quote you more so do insist that you would like to go by the metre! In the case of traffic congestion, the fares might rise indefinitely, so you can take the risk and accept their quoted fares if you'd like!

I ended up here for two nights without having anything with the conference center. The pool was crowded and not very pleasant, the hotel was clean but not very charming, and the buffet was large but kind of boring. Don't stay here if you are not attending the SCCC conference center.
