  Maybe for the benefit of the doubt she has been in a another wedding where the bride paid for their hotel rooms. However, in my case absolutely not I am not made of money here! I think most of the wedding party is staying in the same hotel as us, but they are certainly not being required to. I think that it's mostly out of convenience and because we are providing transportation from there to the venue and back. 

  
  

  I would just calmly tell her no you are not providing the rooms, but that if she wants to stay there is a block reserved and maybe she can find another girl to share a room.

  I agree with PP.  Maybe another bride did that, but I do not think that is the norm at all.  We blocked off rooms and gave everyone the information, but did not tell our wedding party that they had to stay there. 
  
  Did she mean that you booked rooms but not necessairly that you are paying for them?  Maybe someone did that, they reserved the rooms for the wedding party and then the individuals paid? 
  
  Either way, I would just approach her saying that you had not booked rooms for everyone and that is the individuals responsibility if they would like to stay at the hotel.

  I totally agree with the PP. I've been a BM in two wedding party before. I always knew I had to pay for my own room. I've always booked it under the set of block rooms.  I don't feel like the entire wedding party has to stay in the same hotel.

  My FI and I are paying for his best "woman" because she's not in the best financial situation right now. Perhaps your bridesmaid was trying to give you a hint that she couldn't afford a room? In general, brides don't pay. We have two hotel blocks and my wedding party can stay where ever they like- I know one of my girls plans to head out to the casinos with her parents after the reception is over, and she might be sleeping at home the night before.

  Thanks for the input...I honestly just think she was clueless. But I wanted to make sure! I just told her we will be getting the blocks, and then she books through the hotel. I sure hope she's not telling me she can't afford it, since she makes more than I do!
