We needed two overnights between several flights in/out of Bangkok. Using the Accor and/or Ibis website, we could book a VERY cheap non-refundable rate. It takes about 15-20 minutes by taxi from the airport. I would make sure to take the hotel name and address with you, even if written in English, so you can repeat it to the taxi driver. I was worried that it would take a long time to/from the airport, but we had no problems (probably based on missing commute times into/out of Bangkok). The fares for each of the four trips ranged from 150bt to 300bt.
We booked the cheapest standard room for both nights. It was a small room, smelling of very stale cigarette smoke (we forgot to ask for a non-smoking room). The bathroom was so small that one person could barely fit without tripping over the toilet while trying to get into the shower. Although the hotel is fairly new, the fixtures already seem to be aging quickly, since they are of the cheapest construction and materials. Two bottles of water were provided, along with instant coffee. The room has the amenities as described, such as shower (no bath), cable TV, aircon.
On our return, we were upgraded to a superior (non-smoking)room, with a lovely view of the side of a building barely a foot away! The room was at least 50% bigger, as was the bathroom. It was a much more comfortable stay and the smell was much nicer in the room. Still, no bath, just a shower. It was fine for us.
As others have mentioned, there are a lot of eating choices in the mall and there is a 24 hour Foodland within a few blocks.
The reception staff was welcoming and efficient. The staff was kind enough to hold our bags for a few days until our return. For the price (including taxi fare), it was about a third of the price of the Novotel at the airport. I would recommend it for a budget overnight in between flights.
