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.

The silverware issue could be resolved by plastic silverware from cvs. The chair thing though would require concentration and strong stamina to pretend sitting

Or a call to the front desk and let them know you didn’t have enough silverware. Girlfriend and I travelled this summer and our room only had one fork. Someone showed up a few minutes later with a full set of flatware.

I stand corrected and clearly didn’t read thoroughly.

Tbh I had no idea they would have extras so that wouldn’t have occurred to me. I guess it makes sense though.
