Hotel close to new Bangkok airport

Bangkok opened a new airport, Suvarnabhumi, in September. Does anyone
know of hotels that are close to the airport and are priced under
US$100, preferably in the $50 range? I am aware of the Novotel right
at the airport, but rooms there are over $150.

Since the airport is so new, it doesn't yet have the dozens of hotels
one would expect to find around a major airport. I am traveling in
Feb.-March; are any hotels about to open in the next two months?

Thanks

google for hotels at your destination,then use google earth to locate them,
I have used google earth recently to locate hotels near the airport in Faro
Portugal, it worked very well for me

But beware that in Bangkok distance may not be a good guide to travel to
travel time. Last time I used an off-airport hotel there (from on the old
airport) it took maybe 10 minutes from airport to hotel in a freee shuttle.
Next day back to the airport took over 1 hour as the driver tried to find
his way around 2 fatal crashes on the highway and airport approach,
