Lesson learned. What I do is call the hotel a day or two before and have them note in my record _not_ to put us in adjoining rooms. They've always honored it.

In my case the issue is my parents are hard of hearing and watch TV at reallhy loud levels and our kids can't sleep if we were next door.

We decided together to stay for two nights so as not to have wasted the time we spent driving, then surprise them the morning of by checking out early. He will then tell them we dislike the adjoining dynamic and we felt very disrespected by it, so we’re leaving early. Then, when future travel requests come up, we’ll simply say we’re not interested, but they are welcome to visit us.

We will still travel to visit them for holidays and such, but if they cross our boundaries in their home, we’ll move to hotel-only when visiting them.


This is so passive aggressive, rude, and childish.

Just tell them you’ll be keeping the door closed.

Leaving a day early seems childish.

She knew you didn’t want it and got it anyway. I would never use that door.

But then what would OP tantrum about on here?

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.


I would bet money, and would have after reading your initial post, that the inlaws paid for the rooms. I notice you did not say here that you paid for your own rooms. Just own it.


Sorry, sweetie. We Venmoed our half of the deposit literally the day the booking was made, and will still Venmo our remaining half of the final bill even though we’re leaving early. You tried, though. Good for you!


You calling me sweetie makes me believe you even less.


Yup. More DuckTales woo ooh! How many more threads can OP make?

We tried and it wasn’t possible. After that, we talked and came up with our early checkout plan.
