Birth and adoptive family overnight visits

I know of an open adoption situation where the birth mother lives a few states away from the adoptive family. They would like to have visits, and to make the travel worth it, the birth mother would stay over for a few days. I have seen a lot of contention come from this, as well as it being a non issue depending on the family. But I think since the adoption is so new that it might be hard for both families who are trying to adjust and process their emotions to be under the same roof for a week at a time. Hotels are expensive, so is there another way to make visits like this work?
