Yup, sounds like you have enough points for at least 7 individual nights, so if you can use points for 8 nights (i.e. two lots of 5th night free) that might be best. Hopefully the weekend is not in the middle of the stay - if it is maybe the certificate should be used elsewhere if possible, otherwise it's effectively wasted
It isn't a particularly complicated reservation and the only calling you need to do is for the free night cert. Just tell the hotel at or before check-in - but even if the hotel knows, sometimes they screw up.
