I had a layover in Madrid once a few years back, also no time to get downtown and back, and stayed at the Hotel Don Luis in Barajas. Small family-run place, but very friendly and pleasant, cost about 30 euros a night I think. No shuttle bus but I recall that I caught a local bus to the square 50 yards away. Had a quick glance now and reviews still seem to be good.
