The Travelodge San Francisco Airport South in this area was pretty cold at night/morning. The heater/cooler works quickly with a thermostat control. The room was very decent and clean, clock radio, mini-coffee maker, iron and board, in room safe for an additional $1/day, free local calls, a very comfortable bed. There was a shower, but no bathtub, the shower door opens out to the bathroom floor rather than into the shower floor after taking a shower - water dripped onto the bathroom floor; free Wi-Fi Internet, the Simmons mattress beds provides a very comfortable sleep.

Peter's Cafe is nearby and 24 hours. Take a 10-minute walk over to Neal's Coffee Shop (listed as Ben's Coffee Shop on the Internet) at 1845 El Camino Real. Walk out in front of the reception area to the sidewalk, left to the next traffic light, and cross over to opposite side in the Burlingame Shopping Center.
In the opposite direction going past Peter's Cafe, the Millbrae neighborhood area has businesses, shops, restaurants to browse. Hong Kong Flower Lounge, Fook Yuen, Osho, Thai Stick restaurants are all a short 10 minute walk or less away.
The hotel's location is sort of out of the way to San Francisco, but it's a five minute walk to a Caltrain station and BART has service to Millbrae, so the city will be just a BART ride away. There's a 24 hour complimentary shuttle provided by the motel that takes you to and from the airport with a phone call. There is also SamTrans public transit. 511.org can help you plan your trip. But public transit seems to all turn into a pumpkin by midnight, if not earlier. This wouldn't be a good choice if you want to be on the town after midnight, but a good choice if you are back before the last BART train leaves or you're driving.
There are lower cost places elsewhere, including two other Travelodges nearby if your goal is to save money. If you'd like to have things to do, a farmer's market on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm, Trader Joe's, including a real walkable neighborhood right nearby without having to use a car or go into San Francisco, this place is pretty hard to beat with it's nearby infrastructure without the traffic hassles of the city. It's the best choice of places to stay close to the airport, even if this cost a little more. Check-in 1pm, check-out 12pm.
