I suppose an alternative is a 1-stop BTS ride, which would avoid both of that, but probably still take awhile what with all the going up and down, etc. Compared to the hotels along say, Sukhumvit, there are less restaurants, foot massage places, etc etc just around the corner.
I absolutely agree on your assessment on its location.
