A friend sent me these two links, so I'll answer my own question here:
https://m.detik.com/news/berita/d-37...-hotel-classic

It is hard to say whether this visit by the authorities to Classic represents turning up the heat, or instead an attempt to assuage the anti-prostitution forces with a visit, but then conclude there is no problem with the place. It does seem from the articles though the officers went out of their way to focus on those places in the Classic complex that did not have ongoing prostitution. Then again, maybe the news reporters had their own reasons to distort their reports in this direction. Only time will tell where this is going and what has really happened so far.
On the other hand, because my Indonesian is very limited I used software translation and may have in the process missed something important in the articles.
