To book him a hotel room nearby?
Backstory: FIL who has mobility issues is driving a van down to our area and wants to stay the night with us. We have a three bedroom house but one room is a box room with no spare beds. He is convinced he wants to sleep on our sofa. We have a Premier Inn and Holiday Inn 10 mins down the road but he refuses to get a room saying he doesn't want to leave the van with the stuff in the car park. We have offered to have the van parked here and to drive him to the hotel but he still refuses. I don't think it's a money issue because they have enough but not sure if he's being tight or stubborn.
Our house is not ideal for him to stay over, there is a toilet on the ground floor but the shower is upstairs. We have also thought about offering our bed but as it is upstairs he might have difficulty.
WIBU to get him a hotel room anyway? Or would this be insulting to him? I don't mind him staying (although it will be damned cramped in here), but he has never "helped himself" with his disability and is notorious for pushing the envelope (parking far out of the way, dragging himself up stairs when there is a lift, etc)
