It is the last week of September.

I know it is pretty early, but I just signed up for the United and AA cards, so I also have the minimum spends to hit, so I figured I could get it out of the way with this.
Do you need to stay all five nights? Look at the conference schedule carefully.

It sounds like you're an academic or graduate student. Even if you must pay a little for this trip, it could be a good investment for your career.
