It has a spa, spa, Thai massages at reasonable rates and there is a Tesco/Lotus Shopping center within a 5 minutes walk. You can see a photo gallery here and here. Room prices range from $15 to $25. The only possible downside is that it is not near the center of town. It is easy to get a tuk tuk to town though, so this isn't a big problem.
