MEX Airport Hotel question
I gotta do an overnight layover at in MEX and I wanted to know if the hyatt inside the hotel charges by the hour or in short blocks? I´m landing at about 11am and leaving at around 7am so i don´t want to pay for a full night or take a taxi into town(plus I´m a budget traveler who has never been to MEX). I checked hotwire and found a hotel one for $79 which is pretty high for me. Anyone know about the nearby airport hotels?
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is no Hyatt at MEX. There is a Hilton right inside the terminal (between the domestic and international areas) and a Marriott, which is accessed via an overhead walkway.
On a good weekend night, you might get the Hilton for as low as USD$99 per night.
BUT, you can almost always get the Marriott for USD$40 on Priceline (+ Priceline charges.) I've done this regularly and found it quite satisfactory.
I don't believe there are any hotels near MEX that rent "by the hour." Some might have day room rates, but I don't think and overnight stay (11am-7am) will qualify. Besides, it would still most likely be much more than the $40 Priceline rate.

I didn´t mean those kind of by the hour places. I know the airport hotel in ICN rents rooms for like 6 hr periods.
Thanks for the tip about the Marriott though.
