Well, I've not stayed at the Ramada Bintang, but I had a quick look at it last month & I'm thinking of staying there next time.
As far as resturants and tourist attractions goes - Tuban is a great place to stay. The Waterboom park is just down the road from your hotel, great for a day of fun !!!
Don't miss a trip to Jimbaran Bay for seafood on the beach, it is just a short taxi ride from Tuban (but take a blue taxi with meter, the guys offering transport will charge you 2 to 3 times as much) - get there about 17:00-17:30 so you can eat while watching the sunset.
Closer to home, the Amigos salsaria (just passed the Waterboom park) serves a great breakfast - Rp21,000 for omelet, toast & coffee.
For a great meal at very cheap rates, try the Bali Bagia on Bakungsari St - lobster cocktail, Deepfried calimari & 2 large beers for RP29,000.
