TL;DR
For a balance of price and location, consider Barsha Heights, Al Barsha and Dubai Internet City: they have plenty of places to eat and are a short ride from Dubai Marina. Budget hotels can also be found in Dubai Marina itself, with the beach, dining and evening walks nearby.
Barsha Heights, Al Barsha and Dubai Internet City are practical mid-budget bases, with many restaurants and local amenities and easy access to Dubai Marina.
When looking in Barsha Heights, Al Barsha or Dubai Internet City, check Millennium hotels; they are noted as newer properties with food options, transfers and swimming pools.
Deira is not always the best-value base if you plan to visit Dubai Marina, as taxi trips can be long and expensive.
Do not rule out staying directly in Dubai Marina: affordable hotels are available, while restaurants, evening walks and the beach can be reached without transport.
