I stayed at the Best Western La Corona hotel. It is on Del Pilar just a few blocks from Robinsons Mall and, more importantly, the (in)famous Manila Bay Cafe. I liked the location as I was doing some work not too far from the area, so that meant I didn't have to spend too much time commuting. I also knew that MBC would be my primary venue most evenings so again, the location was great.

I paid 2500php for what I think they called a 'deluxe' room, not the basic one but not a suite.

The hallways of the hotel were a bit dated, but the room was renovated and quite nice. It's not a five-star place, but the price isn't either. I think it's a nice balance of price and quality.

They tried to charge me for a slightly late checkout, but after I spoke with the manager they backed off. Still, it's something to be aware of if you have an evening flight out. At the very least, it's best to ask ahead (as I did) to get it all worked out ahead of time.

No problem with girls of course-though I never tried more than one at a time.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'd stay there again or if I'd go for one of the more basic places closer to the mall. I mean, the girls liked the room but they didn't seem to care that much, and I'm not really picky. Still, it was clean, affordable and not a bad location. So I could certainly recommend it without hesitation.
