The Novotel is nice enough - and fully self-contained, but it's perched on the edge of a fairly steep hill at the very edge of Patong (outrageous amount of stairs), so you'll be in for quite a hike anytime you want to venture off the hotel property to even grab a cup of coffee or to a store. I stayed there for a single night, then opted to stay at a cheaper (yet still nice) place for 1/4 the price. I couldn't believe the savings and convenience being closer to town. Actually, it was a BM here that steered me the right way. If you don't mind taking a tuk tuk everytime you want to venture off Novotel property, then that is your only option. The second time you hoof it up that hill, you might be apt to change your mind about the Novotel. Pretty views up there though.
