I think all such policies are just their way of milking more money from unsuspecting foreigners.
I just got back frm HCMC and did not have to pay extra or show cert. My budget is usually US$30 for rooms... at most US$40.
There are more hotels than I can count around Ben Thanh, Pham Ngu Lao and in between Ben Thanh to Dong Khoi area. All within walking distance. It's very competitive and it's a buyer's market... so if one hotel refuse to lower their price or wants to charge extra, just walk next door. Unless u happen to be there during peak seasons like China's golden week, then all rooms will be fully booked.
Hope u find the tips useful.

We’d like to inform you that as hotel’s policy if the foreigner share room with Vietnamese girlfriend must have the certificate marriage. If not you should book 1 more room for her.
