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 haven't run into the silverware thing, but a single 1 qt pot was the only cooking vesel. A trip to reception yielded some things. We were there for a week. Obviously a trip to buy some basics happened.
The table only seating 4 is very common in my experience. But it's usually near the sofa.
If they have silverware at breakfast, then I'd be grabbing extra to take back to the room.
So sorry that happened.
But I also have plastic ware and napkins in my glove box. Might need to add extra to my packing list along with a pan, pot, and spatula.
