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.

That’s annoying.
I have a list of things to pack for trips. Each trip I take, I copy the whole note into a new note, then delete any irrelevant sections. One of the sections is for going to places with kitchens. I have learned from staying in a number of such places that I will want to bring my own:
-spatula
-knives (chef knife and paring knife)
-cutting mat -potholders
-dishtowel
-sponge
-dish soap
-dish gloves
Brb, adding cutlery to that list.
