Last time I was in Phuket I slept in a small hotel 2or3 minutes from Bangla Road if you drive a scooter motorbike. The hotel's name is called Gigie's or something. In may 2003 I paid 500 baht a day thanks to a freelance girl I know in Phuket.

I do not know if you know your way in Patong. At the end of Bangla road you drive to the left (over Rat U thit Road) past Vip and Tai Pan.

One of the following streets you go right a you keep following this road you even drive past the police station and you just keep driving straight a head past the bunjee jump.

It's a small hotel without breakfast, but the rooms are very light and clean, and it's a rather new pension. (even with a small swimming pool).

good luck

Ps last year during xmass holidays 2002 I had the same problem and I managed to book a single room with double bed at the Bayshore Resort Hotel. But this was +/- 2000 baht a day.
