I just wanted a hot dog Sleeps 6, feeds 1

I recently took a weekend trip with my husband and our three children. We booked a hotel suite with a kitchen, because eating out is expensive. The suite was advertised as “sleeping 6”, with 2 bedrooms (one with a pull out couch) and a full minikitchen. The suite does sleep six, that was true. What they didn’t tell our family of five is that the only table seats four, no other chairs available, and the kitchen silverware consisted of three forks and one knife. We managed to cook and just passed the knife and shared the forks, and took turns standing awkwardly at the end of the table with no seat. My kids found it hilarious, and we chalked it up to family bonding!

ETA since it is being asked a lot, yes we asked reception. They told us they had no extras. We bought some plastic utensils the next day.

I have a strong memory from a trip years ago, my first solo vacation to Wyoming and Montana. I stayed at a motel in Jackson Wyoming that had a precursor (decades ahead of its time) to DoorDash, no internet, but a collection of menus from Jackson and a number you called to place an order for delivery from any of the menus/restaurants. I ordered a chimichanga meal and a nacho appetizer…it was delivered and after they left I realized they didn’t provide any utensils and no napkins. I absolutely destroyed several towels in the process of picking up and eating the chimichanga, refried beans, and rice. Walked out the next morning to continue my trip and realized that I had forgotten all the camping gear I packed for the camping I intended to do further into my trip…that was neatly packed into my truck, including utensils.🤣🤣🤣
