Any suggestions for a way to see more than the airport and a somewhat reasonably priced hotel to stay at?

Thanks!
Had a similar early evening arrival and mid next morning departure. We stayed at the Renaissance Barcelona Airport hotel... comfortable, modern and inexpensive. The Complimentary shuttle van runs every 20-30 minutes depending on the time of day, with friendly and efficient drivers.
