I realize that it has been a while since this has been discussed... but YES, UA can provide a room for you and your parent for orientation. I know because that's where my dad stayed last year when I needed to attend orientation. There may be an extra fee for having your parent sleep in a dorm in addition to yours, but compared to a hotel room, it's definitely a cheaper alternative. Also, the dorms provided during orientation are Lakeside (and maybe Riverside as well). They are not the one-room dorms, but rather the more apartment-style with separate bedrooms for each person.
On a separate note (and the one we started off on), the best of luck to you during recruitment!
