MY MATE stayed at the eastiny only last month he recomends it highly
another place to try (just a little further away ) is the sabai lodge hotel on soi 2 as you may know soi 2 is an area similar to soi7/8 lots of beer bars and a couple of go go bars also 5 of the biggest massage places in pattaya.
its only a 5 minute 10 bhat ride on a bhat bus to soi 7/8 the sabai inn does not have a pool but you can use one of the 4 swim pools at the sisiter hotel sabai lodge which is just accross the soi from it price for room at sabai inn is 1050 bhat a night
