Syntaxiom

inhospitably

/ɪnhˈɑspɪɾəbli/ adv

In an inhospitable manner.

Word Origin From Latin hospes 'host, guest' — originally meaning both the one who receives and the one who is received. Hospitable means welcoming to guests, so inhospitably means in an unwelcoming way. The same root gives us hospital (a place for guests/patients), hospitality, and even hostile (from hostis 'stranger, enemy' — the unfriendly side of the guest-host relationship). So inhospitably is about being a bad host.
