Default Thailand trip

Am doing a business trip to China which is requiring an overnight in
Bangkok. Any recommendations for good accomodations near the BKK airport???

The Amari looks fine but seems rather extreme in pricing for the quality of
service.
Comfort Suites no longer seems to appear on the Choice Hotels' website.

I was told the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok is considered an airport hotel,
but is it really that close???
Since I'm arriving at 11:30 p.m., I figure the drive in wouldn't be too bad,
but I would think that I would have to leave at around 7:30 a.m. to catch a
10:30 flight.

20 minute taxi ride, depending on traffic. Not really an "airport
hotel" but close enough.

That's plenty of time. Check in at Don Muang isn't as bad as some
other airports. I arrive about 90 minutes before a flight (just in
case) and usually spend only 10-15 minutes on check in, if that.

I stayed at the Amari 3 nights ago. I don't know how much it was - part of a
package.

I do know that the hotel is directly connected to the airport arrivals hall.
No cab ride (you don't even go outside), 2 minutes walk from arrivals hall
to hotel reception and back from hotel reception to check-in the next
morning. No extra time allowance for traffic jams. No cab fairs.
Fan-bloody-tastic. Pay the dough and do the Amari.
