Ate, i just noticed, since more than a week ka, i suggest sa Travellers Inn (Makati) ka inquire. I think one week rate nasa around 10,000 pesos lang. May ref, tv, and malaki rin naman room.
1,800 pesos traveller's inn per night cguro nga may weekly rates... mas maganda nga sana if Makati area coz mas malinis but i am rather hoping na within malate/ermita area lang para malapit sa st/ lukes and embassy para di na kailangan magtaxi.
Ito so far pinagpipilian ko:
Jade Vine Executive Inn (twin de lux =P1,250, superior=1,500). A toastmaster group regularly meets at that place on a weekly basis and it also has the highest occupancy retention among budget economy hotels for the past several years so cguro medyo disente din ung place.... I called earlier and the lady I spoke to was very pleasant.. I just hope somebody could really check the place out, i have to call and beg some friends pa to check it out, kaso cut-off week this week and next week so mahihirapan ako request sa mga former collegues ko, maghahabol pa ang mga yon ng benta (mga medical representative kasi sila). it's a jeep away to SLEC & 2 blocks away from USEM.
this is the next one:
UCCP Shalom Center (Standard Room is 1,645 tapos pde daw 2 bed and one pull out). UCCP church ung nagmamanage kya lang medyo mataray nakasagot sakin kanina, sguro may PMS lang din. I guess, staying in a christian place would make me feel a little more secure din but i still don't know. It is within walking distance to SLEC & a little farther away sa USEM.
there there is Hotel Juliano (standard single is P1,000, twin deluxe is P1,800) which is very near embassy daw according to a friend. They don't have website nga lang.
I'm rather leaning towards Jade Vine or Shalom... pero I'll let it sit for awhile before deciding talaga. I would need to harrass some friends to check it out muna cguro. Hayy, decision-decision.

.. if my kids are not with me, i would just go for the dormitory type sa friendly guest house or sa malate pensionne.
