These are all the hotels I have stayed in over the years in 4 different trips.
All are under 50 USD.
All had a bathtub, sofa and balcony/terrace. 
All had a swimming pool.

Vista Hotel
Nice hotel
Front office desk is very nice
Front desk ensures the ID of lady is secured and returned only on confirmation by the guest 
Has a good gym and pool in the common area
The bathtub is large enough, larger than most bathtubs
We close to beach road
Cleanliness was top notch

--- Cons ---
Walls are thin, as usual in most hotel in Pattaya 

--- My rating ---
For the price my experience was a 5/5 

Sleep with me Pattaya
I stayed here for 2 trips
Very nice hotel
Walls are not too thin, decent
Cleanliness was top notch
They changed the sheets alternate days, but in my second stay I saw that was fixed 
Very close to tree town 
The vibe at the hotel is pretty cool overall

--- Cons ---
A big problem is that they sometimes do not take the ID of the lady joining in since there are 2 ways to get in, one through the front desk and other without the front desk
Also, sometimes front desk not call and ask if they should return the ID to the lady 
Overall the front desk folks are just average
Bathtub was slightly small to fit me in

--- My rating ---
For the price my experience was a 4.5/5 

Arden Hotel
The swimming pool and open restaurant is very nice
Walls are not too thin, decent
They have a small kitchen and washing machine inside the room
The toilet seat was quite fancy 
Cleanliness was top notch
Front desk ensures the ID of lady is secured and returned only on confirmation by the guest 

--- Cons ---
Front desk did not feel too welcoming to me
The vibe in the hotel felt a little dead to me 
The location is not easily accecible to the beach road or the central pattaya road
So it is a bit of a walk to get to the closest tuk tuk point 

--- My rating ---
For the price my experience was a 4/5 

Let me know if you have any comments on the above hotels in the comments.
Next hotel that I have booked is DeeProm, will update how is it in another post.

Well, flexibility is feature for many, not a bug. 

Bring in the guest you are not confident about and want the front desk to hold on to their IDs. 
And then, there are times you don't want them to.

Saying no is easier than, getting the lady and then asking the front desk to explicitely get hold of her ID is difficult.

I've booked the Arden hotel (Pool View room) for my upcoming stay for 66 USD including breakfast. When did you last stay here?
