Totally agree, I would never forgo my last night in the Conrad just to stay the last night by the airport to avoid potential traffic. Barring something crazy it's a total non-issue.
That said, I think the original context of the suggestion above was that the OP had a late flight out and could book a cheap 5k night at the HGI as a place to chill for the afternoon between anticipated 4pm checkout from the Conrad and say 11pm flight out of DPS.
