Would you prefer to stay at a friend's house or a hotel?

Ive got an old friend who is in town for work and asked can she stay at ours.
She has plenty of money.

I really dont want her to stay. I dont like having visitors. Im embarrassed about state of our house. Ill have to do a massive clean/clear out of spare bedroom and tidy whole house on a weekday.
Im v happy to meet her but dont understand why anyone would want to stay in someone else's house if money isnt a factor.

I hate staying over at people's houses and would always choose a hotel if I could.

Is it just preference maybe?
DH thinks some people think its rude to stay in a hotel when they could stay with friends/relatives?

Hotel every time . I don't like having house guests and I don't like being one.
If you're in a hotel you're not invading anyone else's space and you don't have to queue for the bathroom which is very important to me 😊
