Forgot to mention there is a free hourly shuttle up to the Hardy's grocery store and back (formerly the Alas Arum Arak supermarket or something like that) that will give you a head start on your walk up the 'strip'. About a 15-30 minute walk otherwise. A bemo shouldn't be more than 15000 rupiah to get there.
Booking transport through the hotel will cost you 10-20% more than walking half a block down the street to one of the 43 million transport drivers that will offer their services to you.
