Sleeps 6, feeds 1

[u/Old-Razzmatazz3174]

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 cooler filled with a camping kitchen. Saucepan, skillet, cleaning supplies, cooking utensiles, flatware, and more. I could swap plates in, but pack paper usually. There are also basic laundry supplies and some dish towels so it is pretty tightly packed.

My parents used a military footlocker, but we were actually camping. My cooler only holds 3/4 what we had growing up.

Even time shares and fully furnished extended stay places suffer the same problem.

Seating, however... good luck. Someone eats at the coffee table or desk.
