It depends what you are looking for.
I stayed at the Patong Merlin hotel with my wife in Feb 2006.
The place is very well run and clean.
You have two very large swimming pools to choose from, set in a lush garden with palm trees and exotic plants, an air conditioned fitness centre with table tennis, and access directly to the beach road.
The rooms are largish with balconies either overlooking the pools or overlooking the rear garden, with in room safes.
Buffet breakfast is usually included and is first class. A great selection of freshly cooked thai dishes, western full breakfast, exotic fruits, or you can have the chefs cook specialties in front of you, like omelette crepes with the filling of your choice.
It's about 10 minutes brisk walk along the beach road to the famous Bangla Road entertainment centre.
I believe this establishment aims for the family or couples market and may disallow overnight guests if that is your scene.
Too expensive in my opinion.
You should be able to get excellent accommodation in Patong for much less, but if money is not an issue, you should enjoy your stay.
