Best San Francisco Airport Hotels

We have a couple upcoming layovers in San Francisco soon, with early morning flights out of SFO, so I started hunting around for the best San Francisco airport hotel since I didn't want to have a commute at 5:30am down from San Francisco, especially with sleepy munchkin in tow. I first checked Ben's prior post on The Best Airport Hotels, but he didn't include SFO among his airport hotel picks. So here we go with my picks fo far for SFO airport hotels:
