Sounds like the [rompomansion.com"]a monthly room at Rompo Mansion[/URL] would fit you budget and most of your needs.
They have a great well cared for 25m swimming pool, weight room, Muay Thai gym, steam room.
5 minutes to Tesco, Carefour, Khlong Toei market.
Lot's of good street food in front of the hotel (ie. somtam for the girlfriend)
15 minute walk to Khlong Toei MRT and a 20 baht moto taxi ride or 20 minute walk to the nearest Phrom Phom BTS.
20 minute walk to Lumpini Park
Good security, good parking extremely pleasant hotel staff.
It's nice and quiet.
It's the one of the residential hotels of choice for many old timers here.
I've kept a room there for the past 6 months or so an like it a lot.
