Most athiests would probably smile, let you finish and then keep going on about whatever was going on.
However, I guess it might depend on the type of prayer. A 3 hour long wailing prayer that is more like a fire and brimstone sermon would probably be frowned upon. You might be asked to leave.
If the person praying requests that everyone stop what they are doing so this person can pray, well that would be considered rude and you would be called on it. This also applies if you are expecting people to join in the prayer regardless of their religion.
I would also expect the praying person would receive a lot nicer treatment from the athiest host than an athiest going to a believer's house and pointing out inconsistencies in the bible.

Nothing would happen to you if you prayed at my house. Just because you come to visit me, doesn't mean I make you leave your faith at the door. You're free to pray own your own before meals, bedtime, whatever. Long as you respect that I and my household aren't religious and refrain from proselytization and group prayer, you'll be just fine.
Harass me, then things get nasty, but, long as a person's respectful, I don't care if you pray in my house.

It depends on the person. I'm sure (I hope) that they would be as respectful of your views as they would want other people to be of theirs.

I think they would respect your beliefs as you would respect theres. As long as you are not trying to involve them into your prayer and not trying to push your beliefs on to them.
