Would you be insulted if...
If you were coming to the town where someone you know lives, and rather than having you stay at their home, they offered to put you in a reasonably nice hotel?

2. Not at all
but then I don't like to have or be a house guest. It's just not something I particularly care for.

3. it would depend on why. for instance i am friends with my ex's and supposing
i was visiting in town for one of them, their current partner might prefer if i stayed in a hotel rather then the couch

you know.

4. I'd rather stay at the hotel
than tip-top around their home, using their bathroom, kitchen, etc.

5. I've stayed in a friend of my mother's home for a few days and
I would never do it again. It was horrible.

I'll pay the money to stay in a hotel any day.

6. I think it would be a curtesy.
Especially if they offered to pay.

7. Nope. Not at all.
However, I know a guy who who lived in Oregon who got all butt-hurt when he couldn't stay at my apartment in Los Angeles for 4 days after dropping in un-announced. At the time we had 3 ppl in one bedroom, 1 person in another, and 1 person sleeping in the living room. If he hadn't pitched a fit, we still might've squeezed him in. But whatever. Come to think about it, I haven't heard from that dude in like 15 years...lol.

But yeah, somebody wants to put me up in a clean motel room for the duration, I'd have no problem with that.

8. No. Outside of family, there are very few people I would want to stay with
in their home. I would be more comfortable in a hotel. It would be more like having my own space.

9. Hell no -- in fact, I'd prefer it. That's awesome.
But then, I don't like being with people for hours and hours, and I don't like intruding on their private lives.
