Certainly I'd accept if he offered his own share of the cash but there's just something especially wrong with adding stress at such a time in a persons life over money.

If you guys came to me with expectation to fit the bill because my grandfather died then I hope the cost of the hotel would be worth the price of our friendship.
Sorry but a commitment is just that. I agree with everyone else that he still needs to cover his portion of the hotel room. Just because this happened to him doesn't mean he can forego his obligations to the group and the hotel owner. The exception would be if they can get out of the agreement with the hotel.

Simply put, the other members of the group shouldn't be on the hook for this guys share because of a death in the family and a grandfather at that!
