Hi Prabhupad,
You may want to check Vrbo or Airbnb for rentals close to the Phoenix Convention Center – although I have no idea whether the options are any good.
Here is a link from the Convention Center website that lists hotels in downtown Phoenix:
https://www.visitphoenix.com/meetings/booking-a-meeting/convention-center/downtown-hotels/
https://dtphx.org/things-to-do/hotels/
One more thing: I would encourage you to reach out to the communities you belong to and see if maybe someone who already has a hotel room at one of the conference venues is willing to room together and split the cost. You may have better luck in a smaller group than the Open Forum.
If my colleagues have better ideas, I'll be sure to pass them along! Good luck!

Subject: Stay options at Phoenix
I have to present my work at the INFORMS Annual Meeting, and I am from India. As a student, I find it very difficult to find a cheap and safe place to stay near the convention center. Can I request anyone to host my stay for 5 nights (12th night to 16th night)..just stay arrangements are required. Otherwise, if someone can refer me to good and cheap places near to the venue, that would be very helpful.
