I was going to try that route (and once reserve is over I'll dump the pad and go back to it), but I sat reserve 12 days (scheduled 15, dropped 3) after OE. I flew twice during those days and only 1 overnight. That would've been a minimum of $550 in the "cheap" hotel. I pay half that for a private room in a pad and can have groceries and clothes here. Top that off with the fact that mine was same day commutability on start/end: Some guys aren't so lucky so the hotel costs only increase.
It's up to each person, but I'd recommend a crash pad while you're on reserve.
