Can anyone recommend a hotel in the cities of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in Cambodia and also for Ho Chic Minh City and Hanoi in Viet Nam? Are there any particular restaurants anyone can recommend as well.

We would like something not over $75 if that's possible for a nice clean room - no bugs -, comfortable bed, air conditioning and breakfast included.

We've also heard that it's much better to hire a car, driver and guide rather than take any of the local tours. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thank you all in advance for responding.
