The low-end hotels are going to be about $50/night, the Hilton/Marriott types are about $75 (not counting the big Hilton, which is about $110-$120). You can go home on two day breaks, so you're only paying for five nights/week in a hotel, not seven.
Try going to the GM, or other senior mgr, at the hotel and negotiating a long term stay rate. I did that in my past life (Navy) and ended up in much nicer places at greatly reduced rates. I.e., including a 4 week stay at a very nice place with a balcony overlooking Monterey Bay.
