Best Budget Hotel Near Del Bajío Airport
Budget hotels near Del Bajío International Airport are thin on the ground along Boulevard Aeropuerto, where most properties are branded chains, but Hotel 5 Inn breaks that pattern with an outdoor pool and gym at a lower nightly rate than its neighbors. It sits under ten minutes by taxi from BJX, close enough to keep a pre-dawn departure simple without paying for the business-center extras that pad the chain hotels nearby on the same corridor. For a traveler booking on cost first, it is the one clear pick this stretch of Silao consistently offers.
Boulevard Aeropuerto skews toward branded chain hotels aimed at business travelers, which pushes rates up across most of the strip near the terminal. Hotel 5 Inn sits as something of an outlier there, a straightforward property with a pool and a bar/restaurant rather than a business center or spa, built for guests who want a clean, affordable bed close to BJX rather than a full-service stay with all the trimmings attached.

The One Clear Value Pick on the Strip
This combo exists for one reason: most hotels around BJX are mid-range or business chains, and Hotel 5 Inn is the property that consistently prices below them while still sitting inside a short taxi run of the terminal. It is not the cheapest possible bed in Silao, since unrated guest houses exist off the main strip, but among properties with a reviewed track record and a pool, it holds the clear budget spot on Boulevard Aeropuerto without much competition.
Hotel 5 Inn keeps its amenity list simple: free Wi-Fi, free parking, an outdoor pool and a bar/restaurant with room service, plus a terrace and a gym for a quick workout. That combination covers a night before or after a flight without the business-center or laundry-service extras that raise rates at neighboring hotels like one Silao. The taxi run to BJX sits at eight minutes, on par with several pricier options along the same stretch of boulevard. A gym on site covers a quick workout without needing to leave the property before an early flight.
The outdoor pool and terrace set it apart from a pure budget motel, giving a guest somewhere to sit outside the room during a long layover rather than staring at four walls until the shuttle or taxi arrives. Splash Parque Acuático Silao is a short taxi ride away for anyone wanting a bigger water park stop, though Hotel 5 Inn's own pool covers a shorter break well enough for most guests passing through. That balance of a real pool without a resort price tag is the main reason this property holds the budget spot.
Accessible rooms and kid-friendly policies are both flagged for the property, which matters for a family traveling on a tighter budget through BJX rather than a solo business trip alone. The bar and restaurant on site cover dinner without a taxi into central Silao, useful after a late arrival when other options nearby have already closed for the night. Guests arriving on a delayed evening flight can usually still get a meal here when the chain hotel kitchens nearby have shut their doors for the day well before the next morning's flight.
Against the chain hotels on Boulevard Aeropuerto, Hotel 5 Inn trades a business center and full laundry service for a lower rate and a pool, a fair swap for a guest who mainly needs a clean bed and a short taxi run to BJX. It is the only property on this page clearly positioned at that price point, which makes it the default budget pick near this particular airport corridor for cost-conscious travelers. Anyone comparing the two should weigh how much a business center is actually worth on a short overnight stay.
A traveler's takeOn a tight budget with an evening flight from BJX, I would book Hotel 5 Inn on Boulevard Aeropuerto: the taxi to the terminal takes eight minutes, the outdoor pool and terrace fill a hot afternoon in Silao, and the bar/restaurant with room service means dinner without a taxi into central Silao after a late arrival.
