Do I accept it? What do y'all think?

Hell yeah accept! If they are serious about paying for a room to spend time with you, go for it, its not taking advantage of anyone in MY book. you can ALWAYS do something nice for them when the time is right. Offer a dinner for steaks or something at your place while they are in town maybe? To be honest they are already giving you an out in saying its a Birthday present. *I* would think they really want to spend some time with you and care about you.

My answer would be based on a couple of things. First and foremost, what is your relationship with them. I have several close friends that I would accept an offer like that from in a heartbeat, but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable accepting that offer from just anyone. Some "friends" I wouldn't accept because I'm pretty sure they would try to hang it over me even though it was their offer.

Also, the friends I would accept from can afford the cost with no hassles. If it were a close friend and I knew they were not in the best financial situation (in which case, why the hell are they offering), I would not accept simply for that.
