A few times, yeah. Once in Paris, twice in San Francisco. In all 3 cases, it felt a little awkward. I wasn't sure if I was expected to accept or decline. I accepted all of them, since it was only for 1 night anyway. I tried not to leave a mark - I believe in "low-impact camping" as a general principle - and I appreciated the gesture. In two cases, I took them out for drinks; in the third, I bought their kids some presents.It’s happened to you before!
I‘d take the hotel 99 times out of 10. There are very few people in my life I want to spend that much consecutive time around.
How awful!I voted crushing dread because I'm reminded immediately of the way this scenario usually plays out for me is that my wife, who is a social butterfly, will invite her friends over to stay with us, and I'll then get ganged up on by a bunch of extroverts. Usually takes me days to recover from their non-stop social buffeting.

That's when you need a cave (of whatever kind) to retreat to. There were times when my grandparents would have company and I just went upstairs, claiming homework (usually true).
I've noticed over the years that gamers usually understand this.
