IC Crowne Plaza online reserve Entertainment Book (they don't ask for the card) rate at half price, plus $10 to upgrade to club level. Decent breakfast for two and two drink chits. About $50 all in. Free parking also. Hotel isn't particularly nice, (lobby sucks, rooms okay.) but you can walk or take a cab to Main Street Burlingame, just a few blocks away. Nice little town, has bars and restaurants located around a central downtown shopping street. I've only eaten at Il Fornaio there. Or for upscale dining, take a cab to Kincaid's a few blocks south of the hotel. Pricey steaks, but nice place and great bar. On the water. Hotel is also adjacent to rather nice neighborhood park. There are lots of probably better hotels in this same area. Just check any of the major chains for Burlingame locations.

I also agree with previous poster. Walk out of airport, turn left, take BART downtown (avoid the AirTrain to BART, it's not necessary and inconvenient) to a Pricelined 4-star hotel. Grand Hyatt on Union Square is going for $100. Or probably less, but I have no patience with bidding.

Enjoy. I like Burlingame, and it's on the CalTrain line. If you're not up for downtown, this is a nice upscale small town place.
