Bridesmaid being difficult!

I'm really not sure what to do in this situation! I have two friends flying in from California for my wedding, they're 2/3rds of my wedding party. One is my best friend/college roommate, the other is a girl I worked with at Starbucks for two years and still keep in touch with. She is bringing her boyfriend, who has a child from another woman and is a recovering drug addict (pills and alcohol). I haven't met him. She doesn't have the best track record for dating solid guys. She wanted to come to Boston a few months ago and brought up how badly she wanted to visit, and then when I got engaged she came and we went BM dress shopping that weekend. I should also add that this girl basically ASKED to be a bridesmaid. Her parents paid for this trip and also gave her $500 for spending money, she stayed at my house for free, I paid for Red Sox tickets and massages for us. She's a great girl but still has some growing up to do (she's almost 22). Now the wedding is coming up in a month and she's basically refusing to pay to stay in a hotel. We have 7 people already staying here on Thursday night, which is when she needs a place to stay. On Friday and Saturday we're all going to hotels, which my MOH has offered to split so they'd each be paying $160 for two nights, total. CHEAP by Boston standards. I mentioned this to her and she says, "BF doesn't want to pay to stay anywhere, since I paid for all of our plane tickets." Um, so he just wants a free trip? I just don't know what to tell her. I've asked a few friends but they can't host two guests on a work night. And her entitlted attitude isn't helping either. What do I do? Do I tell her to suck it up? If yes, how so?
