Yeah same story for me, I was just too old to want to share a pad with other people and the nicer ones with your own bed ranged close to $1000. For me it made more sense to just rent hotel rooms when I needed them, usually being used on reserve anyway. You figure in LAS for example, you can get a crew rate near the airport for $80 out the door. That means I would need to require a bed more than 9 times in a month, to make a pad a better value. I never once had the need for more than a few hotel rooms. Obviously the city and airline matter here so take it with a grain of salt.
