Not many good hotels close to Hurghada airport. Soma Bay has good hotels with reasonable food hygiene standards.
The highway from Hurghada to Soma Bay is one of the better ones in Egypt. If you really want to scare yourself try the road to the Sinai coast from Taba or along the coast north east or north west from Sharm El Sheikh.
The local driving standards are very poor - and even if your driver is OK the other guy may not be. Trucks coming at you on the wrong side of a dual carriageway without lights, barrels full of rocks to 'protect' parked vehicles that have long since gone, donkey carts, unmarked trenches, drifting sand across the road....
