UGH. Hotel with adjoining rooms.

I’ll start off by saying we paid our own way, because DCUM always tries to latch onto that.
We agreed to go on vacation with my ILs, and my husband specifically asked them NOT to get adjoining rooms, which is what they always push for and whine about. Well, two guesses as to what we found when we arrived today. They booked the rooms, and got adjoining rooms. They insist on keeping the doors open and downright pout and whine when we close and lock the adjoining door, making much of knocking. They keep saying “keep the door open so it’s like a suite.” Now MIL is bringing food into our room and eating a cupcake while she walks around and is getting crumbs all over the floor. My mild-mannered husband is downright pissed that they did this after he specifically said we didn’t want adjoining rooms. Joke’s on them, because we’re already plotting to leave a day early so we don’t have to spend an extra night. |

| So what’s the lesson here: Be in charge of booking the rooms. Problem solved. |

One would think the lesson is, respect the expressed wishes of others you are traveling with, or they’ll leave early and will definitely not be traveling with you again. Problem also solved. |

Not necessarily. ILs could do it again if allowed to book. They’d still get a night of hanging out in the suite. OP would have to deal with that. |

That’s why I said “problem solved” by simply never traveling with these people again. |

| I’m confused. If you paid your own way, why didn’t you book your own reservation and they book theirs? Then you would have had full control of the reservation and you could have even specified to the hotel that you did not want a room with adjoining doors. |

| Loud monkey sex tonight for you and DH. That should put an end to adjoining rooms. |

I agree. |

They had their eye on a certain place and said they wanted to book early to ensure we got space, and Venmo exists, so there you have it. DH specified we did not want adjoining rooms, and they said that’s fine. Oh well, never traveling with them again. Moving on. |

| Crumbs on a floor you don’t have to clean? You two sound high maintenance. |

Good call, OP. There's a lot you can do without travelling together. |

Not everyone is a slob who disrespects service personnel by leaving obvious messes for them. |

| I guess you should not have trusted them when your dh asked them not to get adjoining rooms. Lesson learned. |

| Does your husband always let his parents walk all over him like this? He seriously isn’t going to confront them about this? |
