>>I would MUCH rather stay in a nearby hotel (and have my guests stay in a hotel). I would feel less like I was imposing. >You must be well-off with well-off friends. As always, It Depends™. I have friends allergic to our pets, some have significant trouble sleeping on inflatable beds or couches, etc. Some have kids, so one couch / one bed won't cut it. The only way it's reasonable for them to visit without having pretty major issues after a day or so is when we're all up for setting up a hotel + transportation (or similar)... which ends up meaning it's less often than some other friends.
