We initially thought that Amy and Rory's house in tIA was the one the Doctor settled them in at the end of tGC, but as you say that can't be so; I assume it was just a house they got for themselves in the normal course of events after getting married. Presumably after their wedding night in the TARDIS the Doctor dropped them back home for a while

Presumably after their wedding night in the TARDIS the Doctor dropped them back home for a while.I think I was just a bit hesitant to make this assumption, because it feels as though the hole between the end of the last series / Christmas special and the beginning of this series is intentional. At the end of the last series the Doctor received a phone call mentioning an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express (which they seemed to be off to attend to) - it might not be a coincidence that the promotional stuff for the end of the current series features a pyramid in the background. And if there's something missing, then who knows how much time is missing? Hmm

At the time, I read the Doctor's response to Rory's comment as simply being an observation that Rory had already admitted defeat in the face of the hotel-from-hell setup. Perhaps you're right and it wasn't meant to be so prosaic.
I agree that there seems to be something odd (or odder than usual) about Amy and Rory's timeline. I disregarded the Orient-Express bit because plot gaps between series aren't that uncommon, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong at the time of "The Christmas Carol" (which was after the Orient-Express line), but it's entirely possible I'm wrong.
I must say, I'm looking forward to finding out whether any of my suspicions and assumptions are even vaguely correct... It will be nice not having to think about them any more! I've lost any sense of what might or might not be significant in the Moffat era :)
