There are myriad decent options near the airport with free transpo that will run 800 to 1000 THB. For the Louis Tavern rooms 2400+ is the starting rate for 4hours for 1 person. More people equals a higher rate. And it jumps quickly.

If time is short then I agree heading out and back is a waste of time. But if time is short how much sleep will you get anyway?
