Nothing airside. Many hotels in Lat Krabang charge 800-1000. They are usually good too. Look on google maps and click through to the best deal offered by a reputable OTA.
Still takes a while to get to/from them. Taxi fare 100-150, plus airport surcharge if applicable.
You can get a meter taxi from the short trip line at BKK. Or take the free shuttle to the bus station and take a taxi from there.
You will need Grab or Bolt in order to get a car to take you back to BKK as these hotels are generally on quiet side streets. If you already have Grab from Cambodia, you'll be good to go in Thailand but for Bolt you will need a Thai sim in order to register.

Good policy to get the day before to Lad Krabang. Many hotels provide a shuttle service, both pick-up and drop-off 24/7. A place in eastern Lad Krabang might be better as the noise from planes is considerably less.
If you travel overland, take the bus from the border to Chaosengsao and then from there the songtaew to Lad Krabang. The driver will drop you off along the main street where most hotels are located. Plenty of food in the area as well.

You can stay at any hotel near any AirLink train station. Trips to airport start at 06.00 and leaves depattures are every 10 mins. Huge choice of hotels in any price range.

The Ivory Hotel is near the Bkk Airport about 2km, they have their own official site, it will suit your budget. I stayed at the Ivory dozen of times no complaint.
