I only stayed one night at the Favehotel, Pekanbaru, but found it to be a very reasonable establishment. It was both clean and comfortable and had all of the standard facilities in good working order. It was perhaps a trifle over-priced compared to hotels elsewhere in Sumbar, but I cannot compare it to others in Pekanbaru. Be warned that the call to prayer is given in several mosques nearby and seems extremely loud at about 5 in the morning. This aside, I slept very well and found staff very friendly and helpful.
