well let the boss do the booking, you shouldnt have to worry about that side of things ! and if he is your boss he is a bit of a cheapskate taking you to a travel lodge which is ever so basic, if it was me I would want a bit of luxury, tell him you want something better and to surprise you.
I suppose afterwards its home to the wife ? dont you deserve better ? if it goes" boss eyed" and she finds out he will be forced to sack you, think carefully is this what you really want.
You should be calling the shots, be more demanding, I doubt if you will get a bottle of champagne sent up to the room in a travel lodge .
