Any recommendations for an airport close to SFO - with a free shuttle hopefully

I've got the Hilton booked and as a diamond I'd get lounge access, but it does look a bit drab there. Pondering the Marriott with it's M-Club lounge, slightly more expensive but as Gold I'd get in the club lounge hopefully.

Any opinions of either or others that you would recommend?

Only there for a few hours, land, sleep, breakfast then my last flight on VX to EWR - I'll probably go for Jet Blue Mint if I do something similar again.

I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza a few times now which is not too bad for an airport hotel. I've also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express North too. I prefer the Crowne Plaza, though the Holiday Inn Express North has a few fast food restaurants very close by (McD's is actually next door). There's nothing in the area where the Crowne Plaza is though.

(there's a Holiday Inn Express South as well, though I've not stayed there).

I think pretty much all the airport hotels offer a free shuttle service now.
