Both my daughter 24 and son 20 have stayed at the Patong Merlin on separate occaisons and both really loved it. The 3 pools are great and they have happy hour each night 2 for 1.
Both hotels are next to each other so position is the same.
My husband and I are returning in June and we wouldn't consider anywhere else. My sister is staying at the Busakorn wing of the holiday inn and loves it there. Not sure about the holiday inn side of it though.

Hi Nate88, we have only been to phuket twice and first year Patong Merlin then last year Holiday inn (not busakorn wing though)both are fantastic but i found holiday inn too big so your too far from the pool and way too many kids and hard to get a sun chair.We are staying at patong merlin again this year as with 3 pools you can always get a chair and can move pools whenever you choose and all pool view rooms face the pool.If you stay at patong merlin make sure you request a pool view room.Both are great hotels so im sure you will have a fantastic time wichever one you choose.

I can't rave enough about the Holiday Inn Busakorn wing. It is absolutley beautiful. Buffet breakfast always superb, room spacious and modern, staff very friendly.
I don't really like the main section of the Holiday inn as it seems too crowded compared to the Busakorn wing.

Look at their own webs sites usually better rates than with travel agents from here. Also some times you get mixups with the travel agents re: This post for HI http://forum.asiawebdirect.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/71023/page/1#Post71023

I have never stayed at either hotel I prefer smaller ones. But I have walked through HI numerous times and would agree with Bianca, HI is very BIG so it depend what you like. I myself would choose smaller not multi story upmarket hotel like the Impiana if I wasn't saving $$$$.
No matter wht you decide it will be great!!!!
Enjoy the land of smiles
