do I need a CHL for this?

I was told your hotel room is your premises when you're a hotel guest. Why wouldn't the house be his premises while he was there as a guest?

I think the case could be made either way. IMHO, it's not a strong case. The law does not define premises except by the terms "own or control." You have more control over a hotel room that you are renting than a house where you are a guest.

Hotel rooms may be covered by case law. Typically you are traveling when you rent a hotel room.
