To each his/her own, but even in a city I wasn't familiar with, I'd have a much more "memorable" time not spending a big chunk of it on transportation. I'd almost always rather stay at a decent airport hotel than make the schlep to the city, especially for just one night.
A window seat at Kinkaids watching planes landing over the lights of the bayshore, near and far, is pretty dramatic for me
