Does he get a per diem where if he doesn't spend it, then he'd get to keep it? That I guess I'd understand.
But if not, then pick a hotel based on his needs, not just whether it offers up a someone so-so reception.
If he wants to save some $$ he can always eat at places like Chili's, Denny's, Olive Garden, etc.
YVMV. Cheers.
He gets per diem, and if he doesn't spend it, he keeps it, so that's why he'd rather be cheap, and eat at hotel receptions most nights.

That's what he's figuring he'll do--eat at the hotel on nights where the food sounds good, when it's not something he'd like, he'll go out.
