My BF of 7 months is going away next weekend for business and asked me to come along. We didn't discuss the financial side of things.
Should I expect him to pick up the hotel bill or should I offer to split it with him?
He won't get reimbursed for the expense. He has to pay for it since he owns his own business. I'm pretty sure he'll accept the money, if I offer, but I kind of feel like he should pay for it since he'd pay it all if I weren't going along. I don't mind buying a meal or drinks in exchange. What should I do?

If it were a leisure trip, then it would make sense to split the bill. However, it's business and HE invited YOU. Another point is that he can write it off at tax time. Let him pay the bill and maybe treat him to dinner or a massage at the hotel spa as a "thank you".

so you are sleeping together then and will be sharing one room?
I think you are only on the hook if the hotel charges more for a double than a single.
If he was going anyway and would have to pay the same $$ then I don't see any reason why you should have to pay anything. Keep in mind he will expect you to put out during your stay (thats the reason for the single room).
Now.. if you are also an emplolyee of his company then i take it back and say you need to pay half.. but then the sleeping with him is optional ;)

I would go, expecting to pay half, so have the money. After he pays for the hotel, just say something like "did you want me to cover half?" If he says no, when you go out, insist on picking up the bill. That way he knows you're intentions are good.

your when he invited you should mean he is the host, so the hotel bill is on him..it really will not cost him more for you to stay with him..most hotels charge for a single or double...which means a single is usu age of one bed, a double means usuage of two beds....so if you and boyfriend share a bed, it will not be a extra cost for him to pay....if you pay or split a meal, that will be ok, i feel that since he is the host he should cover the meals, depending what both of you feel is fair....enjoy the trip and take care

If he asked you to go on a business trip he should be paying for the hotel, but if you want you can offer him half...dutch is better than nothing.

I think I would expect him to pay for the room, he'd be paying for it even if you werent there.....
You could treat him to a good meal as a 'contribution' or pay for drinks or something out...
That would be nice...or theres the old "be waiting for him naked in the room with the bed covered in rose petals...."

I'd let him pay for the Hotel , he did invite you ,so don't worry about it let him pick up the tab..And that's a good idea you could treat him for dinner or drinks..Go and have a great time..

He invited you!!! Also he would have paid that bill regardless because he is on a business trip.

1. Since he asked you you should pay a dime.
2. If you split absolutely everything then offer.
I wouldnt expect for you to pay.

in my opinion, you should split the expenses, so it wont be a big burden on any of you.
