Friends arrived at this hotel around midnight last week and also were asked to pya up front. This night had been prebooked for a certain price, but receptionist said price not right and told them it was $200 per night for the family room. As it was so late my friends had to agree as they had young children, but the worst thing was that the receptionist insisted on cash payment. My friend didn't have that much cash on her so the recptionist said he would keep her passport until she paid up. Luckily she still had her driver there so went and got the money (this is now after 1am) and paid the bill. Needless to say they checked out next morning. Same type of family room at the Adi Dharma for less than half the price. So it seems that some of the staff are taking advantage of the people that they can.
