I've stayed at both Thong Ta and Convenience Resort.
Neither was a bad experience.
Next time, I will choose Thong Ta, however. Overall, it is more pleasing to the eye and the rooms are larger/nicer. Convenience Resort's rooms are too utilitarian looking. Much better rooms at Thong Ta.
Similarly priced.

It was clean and comes with towels and a smattering of ants.
Airport rides (each way) were fine and staff was courteous. Wake up call came on time and when i desired a ride at 5:45AM instead of 6AM a car was almost immediately there. Since transpo is by car and not van they specify only 3 people at a time.
Could not seem to find a phone number to book directly and save the 125 Baht on top of the 780 Baht room cost. Have it now though.

I did a mock booking for Nov 16-20 and a double in deluxe room (32 sqm) with bkft was B4500 per night - kinda of pricy?

Thong Ta Resort
Just some updated info. Last time on a late arrival/early departure transit I stayed here. Couldn't find their number so booked online (780B) and paid the extra 125B. They also wanted 150B for one way to the airport (one way included with the price).
Have a similar situation coming up tonight and called. Was quoted 800B for room, rt ride and breakfast for 2. Must be hurting for business.

I have stayed at two and report that they both have AC and hot water:

The Convenient Resort
I believe others such as Dusit, Best Western, etc. should have AC

Room was spartan yet very clean. We walked the neighborhood and found a lot of choices for dinner but opted for hotel fare as it had a nice quiet little courtyard. Food was OK, would have likely been better out on our walk. There was a massage place across the way: 1 hr 200BHt.
Probably would have slept better had I not been awaiting that 345am wake up call. AC was a little noisy but no plane noise. Would stay again.

Stayed at the Convenient Resort after arriving in BKK late. Found it was quite adequate at about $21 a night U.S. While it is close to the airport runways, the way the freeways are laid out it is about a 10 minute taxi ride away from the arrival building.
Internet in the lobby. Air conditioning in the rooms (fairly rudimentary). They will serve you breakfast early on an outdoor terrace.
Much better value than the overpriced Novetal in the airport complex. Available to book on Agoda.

Stayed at the Floral Shire Resort last night.
Quite satisfied. Aircon a little noisy but very effective. Shower was the on-demand gas heating type with adequate water pressure.
The "Deluxe" room has a loft for the bedroom... with a very narrow/steep circular staircase...and it is a floor level mattress type bed... might not be suitable for folks with mobility problems. AND those rooms are on the 4th floor...
Staff were extremely nice...if a little flustered at any question/request. (In an endearing way, not an irritating one!)
Was a little surprised by the area it was in.... except for the hotel everything else looked rather run down... then again I have litle experience of Bangkok! That may be normal for all I know...
Was picked up in an old (old!) tatty Volvo sedan by a driver with visions of a Formula 1 career ..... and would advise anyone booking this place to get SOLID directions on how to meet at BKK.... that was a bit of a problem for me...
For the price..... AUD$33 including the shuttle both ways...I'd have to say it was good value!
