I guess it is very normal for American relatives not to stay at the home of newborn!
Besides, Buruko is very sensitive to others' needs, it must be very heavy burden on her to take care of in-laws besides the first-time-ever-baby-care. But for her, it is very hard thing to tell you that she does not want them to come and stay home since she instinctively care about your feeling. If you didn't make sure that your parents to stay at a hotel, Buruko will think too much to try to please everyone, including you. So for her, tell them that you (not she) would like them to stay at hotel, you can come up clever excuse, can't you? *smiles*
