People staying with you versus in a hotel

I confess, I don't like staying at other people's houses and I don't like hosting people in my home either. It's lovely to spend time with people but I like to escape them too, so I need a bit of space.

Am I highly unusual?

This has just come to a head with DH. His elderly parents ended up living with us for a few (very difficult) months and are now in a care home 5 mins from us.

DH's brother lives in Canada. Big back story but they don't get on particularly well. They can manage for a bit on the surface but get niggly with each other.

BIL is MD of an engineering company and has more money than he knows what to do with (his words).

BIL will possibly come over to see PIL in their care home. When it was mooted he said that he would stay in the excellent hotel close to the care home. DH poo poed the idea and said that BIL should stay with us.

AIBU to think that if BIL mentions the hotel again we should not try to stop him? It would make it much easier for us all to get along.

If I know a family member does not have much money I'd offer hospitality to stay in our home. We have 6 bedrooms and only 3 being used so hard not to offer. However in your case I'd take BiL up on offer of hotel.
