Staying with family or hotel when visiting

bro and SIL just had a baby and gf and I are planning a trip. we've stayed with them before and they don't meet her standard of cleanliness. doesn't bother me much, tub and toilet could use some work, but we had fresh linens and towels and while a little unorganized it's not like they live in a dump.
personally, i was raised to stay with family when visiting and want to spend as much time as possible with bro and sis and baby so unless it's totally unbearable that would be my choice, but she wants to stay in a hotel.
who's right here?

We get a house when we visit family. It’s the only way I don’t windup in jail.

It's not a "right" or "wrong" issue.
I am the oldest of 5 siblings. When I go to their homes (all very nice) for a visit I prefer to stay in a hotel. I spend time with the family, but prefer to have my own time while there, too.

Stay with family, help with the baby.
Assuming they want you there. It's your family. Stay in a hotel when visiting your gf's family if that's her thing.

Your girlfriend is a controlling bitch, but she's right about this particular situation.

She is. You have lower standards than her. It's time to work to improve those standards. Before you get mad, you did ask for our thoughts.

Cousin Eddie Rule.
Kids stay with relatives while you and the misses have quality time in the RV parked out front.
Easy peasy.

Is there a hotel nearby? It's certainly the best way to visit without imposing. If you visit, they'd have to do extra housework for you.
I'd only stay at a new parents' home if I did a LARGE portion of the house chores to lighten the load for them.

Hotel only because I like my comfort time and I don’t feel comfortable walking around in my pajamas (or naked in my case) and having to get fully clothed just to walk outside of the bedroom.
I go see my family every year for holidays and always get a hotel. I’m sure they appreciate it as much as I do. My siblings think I’m weird, but I’m a grown man and need my alone time.

I almost always stay with family when visiting. However, since they have a new baby, I would probably opt for a hotel this time....no point in your bros family having to entertain you 24/7....

If all you want to do is have brief visits with the baby then stay in a hotel. If you really want to help, then stay with them... offer to cook meals and clean (maybe start with what your gf finds unacceptable) while you’re there.
As someone who’s been a new mom, I can’t tell you the number of people who offered to come stay with us and “help.” Turns out, for most of them, what they meant by “help” was that they wanted to sit on the couch and hold the baby while I cleaned made meals for them, and did dishes, in addition to all the “gross” stuff like changing diapers, doing spit up laundry, and BF every 2 hours, the entire duration of their stay. That sucks and is not help.
