In addition to My Hotel, at least they let you stay and linger at their restaurant to surf, chat and or wait till you have to go/fly even after you have already checked-out. They also allow you to leave your luggage before check-in or after check-out.

What I also like about the hotel staff is when I inquired about certain items and directions at their front desk. The female staff who attended to my inquiries was quite informative and helpful.

I recently stayed at a Double de Luxe Php 1,535/day at My Hotel, San Pedro St., Davao City. The room had a queen size bed & a rather big floor area as compared to their Twin de Luxe room. They provided me with two towels & soap and a toilet paper. Funny that their sink is just outside the bathroom. Funnier and scary is that the aircon is just at the side and above the sink with the power supply near the sink (Possible electric shock from water splashing the power outlet).

They do have a WiFi signal in that room but good luck getting a connection. I had to go to their restaurant to get a signal from another WiFi server of theirs. A number of guests also do this during their stay.

Food is relatively inexpensive.

Note that during peak season, even if you make an online or phone reservation, this does not assure you of actual availability of a confirmed reserved room once you get there. They give preferential treatment to clients who would "suddenly" extend their stay against reservations.

Best thing about my stay at this hotel, it was already paid for and therefore, free.

Encounter_doc is quite right with a number of Starbucks places he has recommended. I too drop by some of them either going north or south for business or vacation as a norm.

I tend to drive by Starbucks Commonwealth Ave for my early morning black tall regular drip. If the place is too full during afternoons or evenings, I also go to Mocha Blends, Royale Place which is opposite Ever Gotesco Mall.
