We definitely need ours. Right now my mom (and sometimes also my dad) come and see us at least once every 2-3 weeks and they stay in the guest room. Once they move to our city it will get used far less but I think it will still be 100% necessary bc my MIL lives a plane ride away and if we didn't have room for her to stay when she visited the trip would be far more expensive than it already is. Plus it is nice to have an extra room/bed to sleep in when one of us is sick and doesn't want to disturb the other person.

I didn't vote in the poll, but here's my two cents.
I don't have one, but I wish that we did. Both sets of parents live out of town, and they come more frequently when they can stay with us. I think we will have a mixed-use room, when we have the space for it. Right now, we are in a 1 bedroom, so we don't even have that.
(So to answer your question: no, I don't have one. I don't think that we would ever use a dedicated room, but a mixed-use room would get a ton of use in our house!)

Ours has gotten tons of use - our summers often seem like a ceaseless train of out-of-town friends and family visiting our city and crashing in our guest room - but I still wouldn't call it necessary. When LO arrives we'll convert our office into a nursery and convert the guest room into the office. I definitely wouldn't want to have to go without an office though. Honestly don't think our home would feel functional without a dedicated workspace. But, ditching the guest room in favor of a nursery just seems to make sense. Once we have an infant I won't mind telling guests to get a hotel or stay with other friends in the area. If they really need to stay with us, we can put an air mattress on the floor of the office for a few nights.

I love ours! We have people come stay infrequently, but I often use the room when I need a landing spot to organize stuff etc. I also like having the room so we can keep our extra furniture (just a bed and a dresser). And the closet storage is nice as well! It's just nice to have for when people DO decide to come. Then they don't need to sleep on the couch or air mattress. And it makes me feel grown up having a guest bedroom.

When we move, it'll be into a 3 bedroom house. DH is very insistent on this. I'm not even pushing a 4 bedroom house at all. If anything, 3 bedrooms wold mean that my MIL won't try to spend the night or a week again.

We have one and it is absolutely essential! So many of our family members live overseas that we need somewhere for them to come and stay. My mom comes to stay with us a lot and stays for extended visits (six to eight weeks at a time) since it's an expensive international flight to get here, so we definitely need a room for her when she's here! We call it a guest room, but really, it's my mom's room that other people can use when she's not here

Mainly just a guest bed is our necessity. All of our rooms are multi-use. Right now our guest room combines with our toddler's room. We tried moving into there and giving my folks our room, but it didn't work great for us. Next time we are trying to move our toddler into our room and giving them his room.
When MIL comes to visit solo, she just co-rooms with our toddler since it's no big deal to her, but when it is more than one person, the logistics don't work as it's not really fair to the guests to have to be quiet.
