I've also gotten excellent last minute deals on Booking.com, which is transparent.
Personally, I would not want to spend five nights in that part of town. It's fine if you just need to spent one night close to the airport before an early morning flight.
hotwire is another good option. And no, it's not the best part of town granted.
