FWIW, I have been in almost the exact situation with my daughters and they always respected our house rules (even if they didn't like them).

Please specify precisely what house rule the OP's daughter is not complying with, or disrespecting. We'll wait.

Your DH is an ass.

You failed as a mother and wife.

Who the hell lets their DH decide this.

Mine would be out on his ass.

How is it being a brat to decide that if as an adult you don’t like the rules imposed at your parent’s home you will stay elsewhere?

Compromise would be you chipping in for a more expensive, closer hotel.

Your husband really showed them! They’ll be late to Christmas breakfast because they’ll be giving each other their gifts in their hotel room. Good job dad!

OP should pay for it.

The fact her kid still wants to come is amazing

As the BF’s mother I’d tell him to run from this family of idiots

Please quote the text where it states that OP's DD is not complying with rules, or disrespecting them. We'll wait.

How did you get to be an adult with such poor reading comprehension skills?

As the BF's mother you shouldn't try to help her dad sabotage this, you should give your kid advice to value her.

I don't think she's coming back next Christmas...

Bottom line: Value people who value your valued ones. It doesn't matter its a GF, BF, fiancé, fiancée, husband, wife or best friend.

Expecting him to sleep in the den? With glass doors?

He would be on display and so uncomfortable. No privacy in a strangers house.

Agreed.
