1 night in Phuket, Where to stay?

In December I am travelling trough Thailand for 3 weeks.
I am taking a flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket and will arrive around 14.30 at the airport of Phuket.
This is to late to get on the ferry straight away so I need to stay on Phuket for 1 night.
Does anyone have some recommendations of where to stay?
It would be great if it was somewhere where I could easy book a ferry ticket to Koh Lanta and where it is easy to get to the ferryport the next morning.
Thanks!

If you want to end up on Koh Lanta would you not be better off flying to Trang or Krabi?
And then over-landing?

Don't know what your budget is but i satyed at Minotel when i was there. Think it's about 800-900 a night but very good location, central, big rooms, clean,tv, air con etc. There was a place outside where you could buy tickets to Koh Lanta and i imagine you would be given a time and picked up at the hotel which would take you to the ferry port which is 30 mins or so away.

@mcam_au: Yes maybe but flying to Krabi/Trang from Chiang Mai isnt really handy and to Phuket there is a direct flight. So thats why I do it that way. Its ok for me!

@graeme: 800-900baht is a bit above my price (around 500baht) but for 1 night it could be an option. I will check it out!

The ON ON has been closed the past two months. They finally kicked out the foreign old guy who had been living there 20+ years who refused to leave and wanted to die there. It is going to be completely refurbished and rebranded as a luxury five star property. You must remember that it is a historical building.

Take a look at Capsule in Phukettown. Owners great guys and professional architects from Songkla.
