Two good ones on HK Island side I've stayed at are the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Wanchai and the Emperor Hotel in Happy Valley. They run about $100 to $125USD per night. If you want to stay somewhere nice but don't want to break the bank then these are 2 good options. They're both local hotels but clean, modern, and good service.
1. Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong
387-397 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 3552 1111 Fax: +852 3552 1122
This is a fave of my buddies when they come in town from the States. Standard room is usually ~$100USD per night unless its major peak times. Its new and modern looking, clean, free wifi in the lobby, free shuttle bus to Times Square, and the rooms are decently sized for HK. Its cheap b/c its right next to the Muslim cemetery. If you're a traditional Chinese type then this might be a dealbreaker. But otherwise, its great. One downside is that its not right next to a MTR stop but like I said, there's a free shuttle bus service that'll take to Times Sq in CWB and you can jump in the MTR from there. Oh, they've got 24 hour room service too so you got options when you get back to your room after a long night out. I don't know about you guys, but I love me a good burger after drinking for hours and hours.
As for in-hotel services, I'm not sure what they offer, but there's a fair amount of mainlanders that stay here so I wouldn't be surprised if they did offer some massage services and the like. Definitely no issue bringing in outside talent for a spin...

This is a pic of a superior room. The standard room I've had usually has 2 twin beds and room for another cot. For $100USD in HK, its a good deal.
2. Emperor Hotel Happy Valley
No.1 Wang Tak Street, Happy Valley, Hong Kong
Standard rooms usually go about $125USD per night but can be more expensive during peak times. Breakfast is included and they have a killer sichuan restaurant on the 2nd floor. The rooms are not quite as posh as the Cosmopolitan though. For most people, this probably doesn't make as much sense b/c its farther from Central, there's really no way to get around other than taxi back and forth, and Happy Valley tends to be a quiter neighborhood. BUT, this place gets a lot of mainland customers so they're very accomodating about bringing in outside guests and helping you arrange services. In fact, they've got a mainland style KTV business in the basement. Not really a secret, but still very few ppl seem to know about it. You'll see some super attractive girls coming in and out. If that's your cup of tea, then go for it. It will be a hell of a lot more expensive than KTV in China though.
