Grow a spine and steamroll your cheapskate DH.
I would have checked into a hotel after one day and told DH to deal with it. |

| Omg you're an adult. Your husband doesn't control what you can and can't do. Go rent a car and get a hotel room. |

| I'd be checked in to a hotel by now. |

I'd uber to the library or a coffee shop at least during the day. Preferably the library - they likely have private rooms.
Is this in the middle of nowhere? Even a small town usually has some level of downtown or at least a library. this sounds really intolerable. VRBO or Air BnB and see if there's someplace cheaper? Doesn't get around the driving problem, though. |

| Go to a coworking space (like WeWork). $50/day or less. |

| Why is MIL against the upcoming marriage? Is the groom from another race or religion? |

| Why not Uber to the gym? |

I would research the actual guest policy and take myself over to the office or whatever to ask about guest use of facilities. Pay for it yourself if it requires a fee.
I find it so difficult to believe that you can't walk, can't use a common area. Sleeping - if the sofa bed is cooler you sleep there. End of story. Can you uber to a coffee shop near a park for the day? |

my MIL was wearing a sweater in 88 degree heat and complaining of cold. She had our family with small children sleep in a room that was in the mid 90s. I spent the night fanning my kids and wondering if I should take them out to the car and run the AC all night. That was the only night we stayed there. It was always a hotel after that.
A few years later she was diagnosed with moderate dementia. I wondered if it might be a reason for her strange behavior earlier. |

Guys, old people get cold more easily.
It’s her house. Get out of there. Go stay in a hotel. And next time don’t go for a whole week. I don’t understand why you agree to that to begin with. Are you unable to be without your husband for a few days? Let him go and you stay and work. |

| You should not be staying there. Totally agree, you have a husband problem. |

| Yeah, I'd be off to find a hotel. At the very least, it's a lesson learned. |

Not OP, but OP specifically asked about using the car and MIL said she was fine with it. And sometimes Uber isn't cheap! |
